Decommissioned

Slowly ticking along with the Decommissioned (the graphic novel).

It's on a temporary hiatus at the moment while I'm having chats with a potential publisher. Mostly we're talking about print size and page count and stuff like that but it doesn't feel like its worth doing too much more until that has all been sorted out. That's fine. I've got plenty else to keep me busy right now but I'm just itching to dive in and start churning out the pages. Meanwhile here are a few little snippets.

the Wheeler Centre

I spent the weekend down in Melbourne at the Wheeler Centre
where they were having a conference of sorts on graphic novels. I couldn't tell you specifically what I learned but I heard some interesting ideas, saw some nice work I hadnt seen before, met some great people and above all came away completely inspired and fired up about my "Yallourn:Decommissioned" project.

So here are a few more Decommissioned images to celebrate that.

These are just attempts to work out how stuff might look....so do expect to see any of them exactly like this in the finished work.

At the moment I'm really just trying to get the story structure nailed so I've stopped making pretty pictures for the time being. I suspect my next Decommissioned post will be a bunch of rough sketches and footnotes.

Thank you for a good time Wheeler Centre... and great to see you getting behind graphic-novels/comics/etc as a valid form of literature.
