It's a testament to how all-consuming Edinburgh is, when you're doing the Fringe, that it's taken me until the 2nd of September to get these four comics coloured. But coloured they are, and they're the result of the few Comic Art Masterclasses I did in August while based in Edinburgh. These two are from South Queensferry and Kirkliston libraries. I wisely limited myself to one class in a day, so I wouldn't jeapordise my voice for that night's show, and only lined up 4 days of classes. A far cry from past years, when for example in August 2015 I did at least 8 classes and zoomed off to do classes in Nairn the day after my last show, in August 2014 I produced these and these, and in August 2013 I produced all this lot. What was I thinking? (One thing I wasn't thinking was that I had to colour them all in full colour! When did that madness start?)
These two comics were from libraries in Denny and Meadowbank, both near Falkirk, so an excuse to drive past The Kelpies every time. Not, it has to be said, the most inspiring titles of the year.
This month's libraries got some nice flipcharts, by dint of me turning up in time to do a bit of doodling. Here are two of them.
The celebrities these four groups chose to appear in my demonstration strip were Robert Downey Junior, Johnny Depp, Donald Trump and Beyonce.
