Comic Strips

The funny comics have all been created from original ideas and have their own unique style to them. The style for the comic strips came about as a result of creating the ink stained brain logo. There were many comic style design for this identity, but after a month of drawing and redrawing something daft enough was created for this purpose. Originally though the identity was not for comic strips but for an illustration company. However it became clear that everything I drew looked like a comic strip! So it was a logical move to make. The comic strips have a quirky nature to them and are suitable for kids and silly grown ups to!

How are the Comic Strips made?

The funny comic strips are made by first having a character and an idea for a storey. The comics are then created in pencil. Once the comics strips are completed in pencil and everything looks ok the comic strips are outline in a black ball point pen. The colours are then added using a computer. Some of the comic strips have been created using acrylic paint on different surfaces. When using acrylic paints the comics are drawn with pencil, then painted and after the paint has dried the black pen lines are added. Often the comic strips are created as seperate panels and placed together afterwards to form the complete comic strip.

Where do the ideas for the Comic Strips come from?

I stole them! Not really. The ideas for the comic strips can come from anywhere and everywhere. Often the ideas will just happen all by themselves. If you can think of a character that makes you smile then you have got a funny comic strip. The ideas are original as nobody likes to laugh at the same jokes twice, there just being polite if they do that! The expressions of a characters face is the key ingredients to making a comic strip funny.
