Comics as eBooks

Image
I would like to see it become the norm that comic artists sell copies of their digital work. I’m not sure if everyone is used to this idea. There is often a negative attitude or disinterest whenever the subject of digital comics is brought up. If a digital copy is mentioned it is an afterthought to the print version. The comic book itself is such a revered item, the love of the printed form overrules any other medium.

New name but sort of the same blog (but different)

Hello! I've gone ahead and reinvented my old blogger blog. Early last year I decommissioned this blog and moved all my activities over to my own domain ( awcomix.com ). I'm still putting all my drawing and comic work there, and it's the best place to keep up to date with my comic work. However,  I still felt like I was lacking a venue for longer pieces of writing about comics in general, therefore I renamed this blog from awcomix.blogspot.com to anthonywoodward.blogspot.com I will be using the blog for the occasional times when I feel I have something to say about comics, maybe it's an idea around the genre, or something about technology and comics, or perhaps a comics review. I have a post all written and ready to go about the nature of digital comics, which I will post soon. If it goes well I have an idea for a follow up post. If you're still reading by this stage, please do leave a comment.

Merry Christmas 2014

Bloop mini comic has began online

I begun posting my mini comic I started last year for the mini comic challenge on my tumblr account. The best way to see it is if you click this link , which lists the pages in the correct order. The project is tentatively called 'Bloop' however I don't know if this is the final title. The artwork is all completed and I have scanned all the pages in. I am currently working my way through adding the text and grey tones digitally in illustrator. I love the freedom this approach affords me even though I am well aware of the pitfalls of using a digital font. This is an experimental comic for me. I went completely, or maybe as much as I could bear, out of my comfort zone for this one. Using different materials, tools, scale, writing method the whole shebang. The other thing I should mention is that I'm writing the dialogue from a loose outline, there is no definite script as such. I had a few shots at writing the word for word dialogue out and it didn't really get me
