Aberdeen identity

Design I done as part of a participatory project on the identity of Aberdeen, by one of my design masters colleagues.

I added the moto "why not?" to my webcomic. I created a T-Shirt and a little promotional campaign around my newly adopted moto.

Animated .gif for a show

The following animated .gif were created as part of a piece I used for my exhibit in my postgraduate degree show. The three animations were humorous takes on what I called "my 3 principles of webcomics" which had for role to promote the freedom given to those who create webcomics: simplicity, lack of censorship and complete freedom. Which I added together for the show under a video illustrating the idea of webcomics being "simple uncensored freedom".

Promotional animated .gif

Here is one of the animated .gif I created to promote my website on various others sites such as Millar World and various forums.

Webcomic examples

Here are some of the webcomics that can be found on my website.

My webcomic

I have created my own stickman autobiographical webcomic. I designed the website and use to publish one comic a day. I have now slowed down, but am continuing to work on my webcomics. I edit the website constantly and will soon redesign the entire menu to add quite a few selections to come from my "other work" page. The website is mostly in html, but also includes php and css. Most of the website was hand-drawn like all the comics. This is a digital adaptation of a webcomic created in analogue format.

I have worked with a variety of different people, amongst which my most successful cyber-collaboration with the creator of The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Bob, the man in question, has posted my 100th webcomic on his website under "Stickmen Propaganda". I did make a spelling mistake on this comic, which is quite disastrous for someone who use to do copy editing.

Ditigal comics

I kept on working on the digital comics and the mix of pictures and digitally drawn stickmen to create a simple comic book narration tool.

Digital comics

Here are comics I have made from pictures drawn over digitally in a mix of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. These are early attempts and exploration of possibilities.

Basic hand drawn/digital comic

The first comic in a series I called "Discussions with God". These are part of my first experimentations of analogue and digital mixed comics.

Ouroboros tattoo design

Dragon ouroboros (snake biting its tail) tattoo design.

Hardcore tattoo design

"Hardcore" (hxc) tattoo design.

Support-ED flyer and poster

I was asked by the people of Support-ED to redesign their old flyer and poster using the same logo and the same colours. This is an Aberdeen based charity that gives support to students with eating disorders. The poster and flyer were translated in a variety of different languages, of which I wrote the French translation as well. Please see under the English version, the French version and the blank template they asked me to do in case they wanted to create more translations. I set up the poster and flyer in English, French, Finnish, Gaelic, Luxembourger, and German.

Forum banner

This banner was designed on request for a World of Warcraft player group/guild forum. I created multiple designs for the users. The first one in the list is the one they use/used.

Fictional News - Newspaper - The World Of Political Incorrectness

Please find under the front and back of my first issue of my self-published spoof newspaper The W.O.P.I., standing for The World Of Political Incorrectness. I printed many copies of this and distributed it, free, online, in bars, at university and amongst friends. I truly had a great response to this and have made a few others since then at irregular intervals.
