*Inhales*
... that was surprisingly disappointing.
Anyway, since this is my first post, I would like to say something about myself.
I am a person who is never content with doing the same thing each day.
I don't get along very well with time tables and lots of routine makes me want to scream.
I think that is why I am, what I will term, a "multimedia person".
I like to write, and most of what I intend to post here is text based, but I've also had a life-long passion for cartoons, drawings, music, photography and film.
Since I consider all of these things to be part of the rich tapestry that is literature, I'm going to start my blog with a hand drawn comic strip from 2011, which I was invited to create for an exhibition in Westminster, London.
The exhibition had a quirky prerequisite, though – everything displayed in it had to be drawn on an A5 sheet of paper. For those of you not familiar with international paper sizes, that is rather small. It's approx. 8 ¼" by 5 ¾". At the time I was in the habit of drawing my four panel comics on A3 sheets, which have four times that surface area, so squeezing my work down to A5 dimensions seemed quite challenging.
Anyway, here it is, for the viewing pleasure of the internet:
