I'm very proud to have drawn the four page Bash Street Kids story for the Beano Christmas Special that's on sale now. The script was written by Andy Fanton, and it was coloured by a D.C. Thomson colourist. All in all I think it turned out well and I'm very pleased with the result.
Here's a couple of panels of my original art before it was lettered and coloured...
As there was some confusion last year I should explain that the Beano Christmas Special is a one-off special. There'll also be a Beano Christmas issue as part of the weekly run nearer to Christmas but this is an extra production, with 68 pages, on lavish paper, with card covers and free stickers inside. (There's also a Beano Annual of course, in the usual hardback format.)
The Beano Christmas Special makes an ideal stocking-stuffer for kids, so pick a copy up from WH Smith today. £4.99

apart from guest appearance like with Rasher and the Pups, isn't this the first time you have drawn a whole Bash Street strip? if so, well done ^_^ that is another nice thing to put on the list of achievements.
ReplyDeleteYes, you're right. And I'm still in fanboy mode that I've actually drawn an official Bash Street Kids strip. Highlight of my year!
DeleteI like Smiffys jumper!
ReplyDeleteThat was writer Andy Fanton's suggestion. It ties in with one of the gags in the final panel. :)
