I’m befriending drawing inks.
In response to a poem that I wrote, which is basically … this: what you see in the illustration. I would type it out but I don’t have it on me, sadface.

So I did a comic about shaving and taboos around female body hair … but it’s 15 pages so I can’t really put it all on tumblr - does anyone have any tips on good web sites where you can post comics and have them presented somewhat nicely? Very grateful for advice!

I should probably have my own website but I’m too lazy. :( Anyway, here are some bits I  picked out of the comic, the rest of it is a bit different and more of a dialogue but I didn’t think it’d make any sense if I didn’t post the whole thing.

misshkchapman asked: Is this your first course at uni or did you study something/work before doing this?

This is my first uni course, yes. However I did have two years of foundation back in Sweden - the first one was pretty general (painting, sculpture, anything and everything) and the second was focused on graphics and illustration. I’ve had a tiny bit of work experience in illustration but mostly I’ve had regular crap jobs and done drawings in my bedroom in my parents house. Being at uni and drawing full time feels so good!

A project for school in which I did a comic based on the song lyrics of Neil Innes “9-5 Pollution Blues” … which I only found because The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band’s done a cover of it. I also brought in some of my personal experience of having a regular day job, doing essentially what is shown in the comic. Thank cheesus I’m in art school now.

Made a last minute entry to the Puffin book cover design award … everything but the front cover painting is a bit slapdash but OH wells, maybe next year. It was fun to do anyways.
