Chris Slane Comic Art

‘Nice Day for a War - Adventures of a Kiwi Soldier in World War I.’ Pencil and watercolour art for page 58 of the comic story. I chose this traditional medium to link with the contemporary cartoons and watercolours reproduced in the book. Next, I add sound effects and text.

Pencil draft for page 58, ‘Nice Day For A War’. More on our Facebook page http://tinyurl.com/7p5p29d and my homepage www.slane.co.nz

Pencil, marker test, and watercolour art for page 58, ‘Nice Day For A War’. The watercolour style matched those painting, sketches and cartoons made by soldiers themselves in 1917. More on our Facebook page http://tinyurl.com/7p5p29d and my homepage www.slane.co.nz

The true story of a World War l Kiwi soldier won the New Zealands highest honour in children’s writing at the 2012 New Zealand Post Children’s Book Awards, winning the non-fiction and overall award.

The Curse of the Were-Pieter

I’m willing to bet that the world has been saved from abject domination by a timely-placed slap or two. But seriously, if you take away the physical violence this is pretty much what passes for conversation in the Tremblar-Ding household.

Bonus: In case you’re wondering what a Wereling (a.k.a. your future overlord) would look like - especially one that inherited Suzie’s baby dungarees and love of chocolate milk - here’s a little sketch.

Here’s Chris Ware being interviewed on a short arts program called Fear No Art. There are a few moments of awkwardness between the chipper host and the slightly less chipper cartoonist, but we get some great shots of Chris Ware’s studio and get to watch him ink a drawing.
