How to start a spy club
New Comic Day - a couple of days late..or maybe early... Inspiration for this one: my son has a habit of inviting his friends to do things and THEN asking me. Also, I think other parents (and introverts) can relate to that feeling of, quite frankly, inconvenience and panic. #papercutcomic #papercut #papercutting #silhouette #spyclub #introvert #parenting #kids #guyman #starfunke #clu #comic #comicstrip #art #inspiredby
Preview Night
I've had this idea in my head for a while so, although it's not topical or anything, I decided to comicfy it. (Yes that is a word!!) I've been to a couple of preview nights at exhibition openings and listening to critics does make me giggle - although I'm sure what they're saying is extremely viable. I am positively hopeless at art appreciation. Anyway, here is Guyman and Starfunkel's take on it... PS I probably should have outlined the speech bubbles as it's all white this
Comic no.6 - Points of View
Earlier than predicted this time. There's just no telling, is there?, At least, as predicted, it has a suitably nerdy theme and an underlying kind-of-topical-and-sort-of-serious subject. I wanted to explore how the same subject can be seen in different ways - positive, negative, right, wrong....make up you're own mind. #papercut #comic #comicstrip #papercutting #guyman #starfunkel #feminism #genderequality #startrek #nerd #geek #papercutcomic #film
Love not Hate - a belated comic
It's been a while since my last comic. I like to use topical themes (the recent rise in hate crime this time ) but seen through the adventures of young Guyman and Starfunkel (metaphorically I guess). The underlying themes have been a bit sad of late. The next one won't be quite so dark but is about gender inequality. Don't panic though - like this one (hate crime tempered with pokemon) it has a light side. Which one is the main theme is down to individual interpretation th
Guyman & Starfunkel: a third instalment
I'm on a roll. I'm managing to post one comic every two weeks. Which is as much as I can ask of myself at the moment. It's cool though - they're getting out there at least, and I'm enjoying myself. This one is entitled My Island. I was a little bit inspired by a song, and, like the song, there might be a metaphor in there somewhere. Not the same metaphor though...that's where the inspiration ended and my brain took over...not to mention, it had to be set in the Guyman & S
Another Guyman & Starfunkel instalment
I'm going to try and post a new comic every couple of weeks so here's my second ever one. This one's a single frame so don't think there's anything missing - that's it! It is also a bit topical. If you have a primary school child sitting SATs at the moment you'll definitely understand. My son, in Year 2, explained time connectives to me one day. I, who managed to get an A-Level in English, had never heard of them. Although I think it's great that littles can absorb a grea
Happy Star Wars Day
Had this idea for a comic strip (Guyman & Starfunkel) and thought I better get this one done today!! Be kind - it's my first ever try. It's all hand drawn and hand cut. (My scanner is a bit rubbish but you get the idea...) #papercutting #papercut #comic #silhouette #guyman #starfunkel #comicstrip #starwars
