Cookie Monsters - new comic

Hey guys,
Here's the first two pages of a brand new comic I've been working on called 'Cookie Monsters'.
I'm making it for the Crumblin' Cookie's magazine 'Extra Shot', which I featured in earlier this year.

The issue of 'Extra Shot' which this comic will be appearing in it's ten page entirety will be out January/February time. So until then I won't be showing you anymore of it (apart from maybe some sneaky peeks ;p ) but hopefully these first two pages will be enough to hook you in and keep you waiting :D

Click on the images to make them bigger.

 

Much love,

Her Name is Calla posters

Hey dudes,
So we're having a launch party for my comic 'The Way we Write', which is about three members of the ace band 'Her Name is Calla'. It will be on March 16th, 2013 at the Cookie Jar, in Leicester.
I'll be sure to shout more details at you nearer the time :)

We're gonna be selling the comic there, and I'm gonna be exhibiting and selling some of these limited edition gig posters. There'll be available to buy on the 16th March, but if you'd like to pre-order any feel free to email me: rachael(at)rachaelsmith(dot)org.

 

 

Peace,

404'd! A fun image for Siobhan McKeown's website

Remember the cartoon portrait I did for Siobhan McKeown last month?
Well, the lovely lady asked me to do a 404 page image for her, which was hella fun to do :)

You can see the image on the page here.

And Siobhan's about page, with the other illustration I did for her, is here.

Comic character concepts for 'Extra Shot' magazine

The Way We Write - IT'S FINISHED!

Hi all! 
Guess what!? ...

I've totally finished my first full-length comic! 
It's kind of an insane story about a band called Her Name is Calla. 
I'm currently working with the band to get it printed and do cool stuff with it. So watch this space for more info and announcements when the comics are available to buy. 

For now, here's the first few pages. Hope you like 'em.

Much love, R xxx

Wolves - the Chester exhibition set-up

So me and lovely people Tom and Carrie set up my exhibition at Becnicks Wonder Emporium in Chester yesterday. It was hella fun :)

Tom got well involved in the curating...

It's not just my Wolves pictures this time, there are ten, limited edition 'Ask Flimsy' prints on display too!

Good ole' Flimsy.

Becnicks is THE BEST shop. I had to use all the strength I had not to buy seven million vintage dresses.

  

Look! A crab!

AAAAAND here's the poster just to remind you guys that we're having an OPENING PARTY this Saturday (10th November), I'll be selling prints, comics and other stuff and also plying people with wine, so please come say hi if you're able :)
