Strip Art

For somepeople strip work isn't art. I disagree. This is the strip work I do and I think is a good expression of the world I know and like.I finnished this page yesterday which continues a story about smuggling.

The latest is they're just approaching the spanish- french border which is supposed to be quiet and the ideal time to drive through with a tonne of gear. However it just ain't happening....



Next week they reach the border...

"It's never too late to be the kind of artist you want to be" I've arrived at thinking. I was drawing animation when I was a teenager and that was my first passion. It became computerised and I had a few wilderness years of being pissed off and living off other things. But then I asked myself what sort of artist I really wanted to be? What artwork had made me envious? - and the answer was the asterix type of stuff I remember as a kid. So I began studying that style instead of jumping from area to area and once I got capable began writing this smuggling story based on people I've known in the world of smuggling and dealing, and for a little help I got a friend serving time for hashish smuggling to help me on the finer details. Now I might be just as broke and as disrespected by those who I care little for as much as before, but I'm contented and working on stufff I love a lot and a lot of people seem to be liking and following the story.
I've come to think that Graffitti at it's best is a damned good expressive and emotionally intense medium. You could take that sense of expression elsewhere and just learn some new skills to express yourself through.
