A brief preview of the comic i'm currently working on "Farang: Red and Yellow"

an update on happenings in Thailand

some of the studies i've been doing around Khon Kaen

A little way through my time in Thailand, i'm continuing to do visual studies as well as capture some great photo reference. i've been experiencing a lot of the culture, tradition is a much bigger factor in day to day life than back in the UK. most of my time has been spent traveling around Chaing Mai before heading back to Khon Kaen, in both cities i've explored at least five different Buddhist temples and spirit houses, it's been interesting contrasting the traditional, eccentric design of the temples and villages with the bright, japanese influenced shopping complexes and city centres. I look forward to spending more time in the night market, grabbing some sketches and photos there.

working on comics during the down-time

during the rare opportunities I have for some downtime i'm still making some comics, some based in Thailand, some inspired by the design and culture i've seen during my trip so far.

Heading to Thailand, and also a mech design.

So, fairly big news, I'll be traveling to Khon Kaen, Thailand to study the countries unique artistic and cultural background, visiting the Wats, street markets and seeing The University of Khon Kaen, which has became the pride of the city. I'll be uploading sketches and paintings of my journey and time in Khon Kaen as well as when I travel to Chiang Mai and experience a more urban side of Thailand when I go and spend some time in Bangkok. I'm excited to have the chance to experience a different culture and see their rich artistic history, as well as be able to see how their approach to the arts might have changed or matured. I'll be heading of for my flight mid-month, which is exciting in it's self, airports harbour a hugely diverse group of people who are always a blast to draw and observe.

trying to subtly capture the feeling of a puppy with this Mech design

also, heres a design for a Mech, not at all related to my trip to Thailand, but, when is a Mech really THAT inappropriate?
