Monkeys with Machineguns needs YOU!

Monkeys With Machineguns Live!

Myself and Chris Lynch have decided to do one more issue of Monkeys With Machineguns. This isn’t neccessarilly the end of MWM, but we want to draw a close to the 1st bit of MWM work. We will be doing this by bringing out a Trade Paperback of all the MWM stories, remastered and coloured.

To top off the book, we will be doing one more issue of MWM, which will have a limited print as a ‘floppy’, but also close off the new trade, both of which will launch at Bristol Comics Expo 2012 with the Trade being available via amazon and Fatboy Publishing. This is where you come in…

I need artists who would like to guest in the book, for either sequential art or pin-ups. If you would like to include yourself as guest artist and join the hallowed halls of fame of previous MWM guest artists such as Mark Smith and Christian Ward, please email me at stu.art@monkeyswithmachineguns.com with samples of your work or a link to an online portfolio.

Spread the word chimps!

Nevermore

It came to light a few weeks back, that a few people weren’t aware of my involvement with Self Made Hero’s ‘Nevermore’, a graphic collection of 9 Edgar Allen Poe tales.

I was lucky enough to be given ‘The Raven’, perhaps the most memorable of all Poe’s works,  adapted by Dan Whithead.

Playbackstl.com had this to say about it.

“Nevermore opens, perhaps inevitably, with “The Raven” (W: Dan Whitehead, Stuart Tipples; A: Stuart Tipples) in an abbreviated version which retains the poem’s themes of desperation and loss while relocating it to a modern city. Tipples’ art is reminiscent of German Expressionist woodcuts in its angular shapes, strong contrasts, and oddly-tilted frames of reference, reflecting the speaker’s growing despair.”

The book also includes other industry favourites such as Jamie Delano, John Mcrea, Moore & Reppion and D’Isreli,  so I’m in good company.

The book is available in all good stores and online.

So I finally finished colouriong this cover for the first issue of Chris’s ‘The Dark’. But…

There’s 2 versions, one has a bit more of a green hue to it and I’m not sure which I prefer.
