Drawing stuff today...

Here's a random design for the Anytown comic. He's not a particular character, but was drawn to get the feel of the story. If memory serves, one of the stories was set in a particularly unsuccessful evening in Anytown's only nightclub. It looks very 90s to me so the style of the new version might differ somewhat and I'm don't know yet if I'll revisit the nightclub plot. I'll have to find the old sketchbook it's in and give it an objective look.

At the moment there are 36 newspaper style Anytown strips from the early 2000s with another 30 or so scripted with several different plot threads running. At the time it did appear on my very early site Sillyarts (now long gone) in black and white. Here's an example-

There's also the script for one big mockumentary style story that could be expanded into a graphic novel. The story is a comedy all about the Grey family living their ordinary lives in an ordinary suburban town. Mum, dad and their three offspring but it mostly focuses on the older son, Gavin Grey, who is around 20 and wants to be a music star with his metal band Beneath Contempt, the only problem is Gavin and his mates have no talent or ability.

Here's another Anytown nightclub punter.

They were both drawn traditionally with Indian ink. I'm itching to get back to drawing traditionally, so I think I'll be doing Anytown on real paper. Would you like to see an Anytown book? I've got my dip pens and bottle of ink on standby, let's dig out that old script...

You know what this lady needs..? A new tote bag adorned with the fantastic front cover of Fred Fortune #1 to keep all her comics and stuff in. 

Lucky there's one for sale on the Funky Punk Teespring store. Link below-
You can also buy the comic to keep in it, still on sale on Comic Flea Market, link further below.

Thanks for looking.
