From concept to reality - Kevin Koala in Shanghai

Last year, I was privileged to travel to China. While I was there I was very inspired by the city-scape of Shanghai.



From a photo of the Shanghai CBD, I made this sketch.

From that sketch, I then utilised the idea to become the first panel in this Kevin Koala comic strip.



The next step will be to add dialogue. Stay tuned...

Shanghai fascinates me because of how development has gone on there in the last 30 years. This photo dates back to 1990;


Which is pretty much what my grandfather saw when he visited Shanghai in 1980.

Simon the Nexian - Experiments with font and format


A couple of experiments with how I can print/type text on top of the comic format for Simon the Nexian.

I'd also like to be able to use this format to create translations in Chinese, Japanese and Indonesian.
