Here’s one of the pieces I have been colouring between writing as part of my thing a day. Saturday may suffer thing-a-day wise but I will be at Alt.fiction with loads of cool people so I think it’s justified.

Aaaaand it’s finished.
Liam Sharp has kindly given me permission to post my attempt at colouring one of his Gears of War pages.
Gears of War – Page11 – Issue3 by ~ukfaithless on deviantART
I’m sort of okay with how it came out, may have overcooked it as I was aiming for a mor subtle look but I’ll just have to do better next time.
I’ve purposefully not looked at the original issue whilst colouring but may dig it out again to take a look and compare how it should be done.
I have a long weekend now (not back at work till Wednesday so hopefully my thingaday will be come afewthingsaday.
Cheers,
Chris

So I haven’t posted for a while, it happens and I’m sorry.
This weekend I went to the Bristol Comic and Small Press Expo, it was a wonderful and really re-ignited my passion.
To that end I’m starting ‘thingaday’, where by I will aim to do at least one thing each day – writing/colours or letters – and will then post about it here.
It started today as I began colouring a Gears of War sequential and got all the flats laid so far.
I can now go to bed and then come back to that or some writing tomorrow.
I will also try and update about my other projects tomorrow, lots to report… *yawn*
For now goodnight.
Cheers,
Chris

well folks, BICS (British International Comics Show) came and went, leaving a trail of destruction in my liver and my wallet. It was a great weekend filled with meeting both old and new friends.
I did a bit of self promotion, handed out some ‘”business cards” and although I didn’t lug my portfolio around I managed to sort out a few things I had intended to and hopefully sow some seeds for some future comics work whatever form it may take.
I wont dwell on the specifics of the con, I’ll just post these three pictures and then some links to some other blogs and coverage of the convention.
(Paul Richardson, Luke Foster, Myself and Victoria Charvill at the Launch Party on the Friday night)
(Larking about in Birmingham Saturday morning, surprisingly hangover free)
(Saturday night drinks in the company of too man awesome people to list. Me and Hannah doing classic ‘thumbs up’)

Just a quick update, last time the Insomnia Publications blog (theredeye) was update Shiver was mentioned as an upcoming title along with a number of other great looking projects due from them.
Recently I’ve been working on getting a bunch of short scripts done as well as working on Shiver and finishing off the colours I had promised Chad Cicconi (Baby Boomers) which along with my starting a new job means I’ve been busy, busy, busy.
for now here’s a peek through the keyhole at a page I’ve just finished of Baby Boomers.
Expect more updates soon as I start making headway on some of the projects I’m working on.
Cheers,
Chris
