Doctor vs Tramp

Hello.

Here are some more pages from my forthcoming graphic novel The Bad Doctor, to be published by Myriad Editions next year.

This is the black and white linework. I’m hoping to add a 50% grey tone too (see the bottom of this post) but am going to add that in the correction stages, once I’ve got the whole caboodle done in black and white.

This is the opening sequence.

I need to adjust the size of the text, I realise.

Once I render the panels with some grey tone (which could actually be replaced by a spot colour, say a nice bluegreen or light brown) they will look like this:

Here are some more pages from The Bad Doctor.

Personality Disorder

Here are some more pages from The Bad Doctor, in production for Myriad Editions. I’ve used this snippet before, in Fear of Failure, but thought it was worth reworking for the graphic novel.

OK, here’s a bit of seasonal vitriol I just penned. I’ll scan and colour it at a later date, but I thought you might like it in its raw form. Click on image to enlarge

Sequential Highway: Julinda Morrow interviews Thom Ferrier

Here is Julinda Morrow interviewing me in Sequential Highway! They use my real name and professional title and everything. I talk about comics, art, medical humanities and graphic medicine.

TCAF

Simon Moreton and I have arrived in Toronto for TCAF. We flew with Air France via Paris and I must say the flight was pretty tollerable in this age of squeezed margins and shrinking legroom. We were served Champagne by the young, friendly cabin crew and enjoyed the good selection of films available.

Last night we met up with my friend Suley Fattah, originator of Drawing the Line, a benefit comic collection for Cancer research in Canada and his wife, the magician Julie Eng. We went to the pub.

This morning I distinguished myself at a local cafe where we had breakfast by (almost) wrecking the hinges of the plate glass door.

Simon is giving a talk to the geography dept of the University of Toronto this afternoon and then tomorrow morning we are doing a workshop for Shelley Wall‘s biomedical illustration students at the U of T

Simon and I are both exhibiting at TCAF, along with fellow UK comics people such as Darryl Cunningham, Lizz Lunney, Philippa Rice, Joe Decie, and Sean Azzopardi

On Saturday Simon, Darryl, Lizz and I are running a ‘Comics and Mental Health’ panel discussion with the great John Porcellino at 12.30 in the Marriott Bloor hotel.

Collection printed

I’m excited because I just got these back from the printer. I’ve printed up all my hand made comics, plus assorted other strips into one 100 page volume. I’ve called it Disrepute.

Its printed on Cyclus semi-bleached paper in two colours- black and Pantone 7464.

I’m very pleased with it, and grateful to David Small, Nicola Streeten, MK Czerwiec, Sarah Leavitt and Philippa Perry for providing blurbs for the jacket.

I’ll be selling it at Comiket in London this weekend and taking it to TCAF in a few weeks. I’ll also be selling it though my site etc.
