Lew Stringer Comics: Currently on the drawing board (and screen)

Currently on the drawing board (and screen)

This week I'm completing work on Brickman No.2 which I hope will be ready in time for the London Comic Con at the end of this month. Most of the interior pages are done, and I'm currently colouring the cover after scanning my art into Photoshop. This issue collects the Brickman stories from the mid-1990s.

I still work traditionally, hand drawing the art, then I colour it in Photoshop. Text pages are also done with software of course. Absolutely no A.I., Chatgpt, or any of that codswallop are used.

If all goes well, I'll post an update about the comic in a few weeks!
