Neo_Dullard comic, Batch 3, No. 10

I created this as an antidote to the 24-hour news addiction. The constant compulsion to check for news updates 100 times a day.I wouldn’t necessarily support the saying ‘ignorance is bliss’, but disconnecting from the constant news flurry is beneficial for mental health.

Another cat monologue. I held onto this comic for almost 6 months, waiting for Melbourne COVID restrictions to ease. Extreme social distancing measures were enforced, so no one was having house parties.And then I published the comic on Instagram and it was a massive success!No, not really.. I think about 5 people liked it. But

Neo_Dullard comic, Batch 3, No. 1

Batch Three of ‘Neo Dullard’, comic #01 of 20. I use the word ‘batch’ instead of series because I find the word series a bit too.. sequential? A > B > C. Everything in a logical order; conceived, planned and executed.‘Neo Dullard’ is a lot more dribs and drabs. No character names or relationships, no

‘Neo Dullard’ comics, promo June 2020

I add these promos to the front or back of comic strips in Instagram, to prompt viewers to LIKE – SHARE – FOLLOW and what-not. Mixed results.

Neo_Dullard comic, Batch 2, No. 20

A series of ‘Neo Dullard’ promos I published on Instagram. (Backgrounds rendered in both markers and coloured pencils.)
