MEET MURPHY

Whilst Wayne was sleeping...

Thought I would post up this little guy.

He was created by me, Morris Heggie (The Beano, The Dandy and DCT editor/archivist) and some amazing kids at Riverside Primary in Stirling.

Four characters were created during a day of character creatin' workshop style action! This one's called Murphy - I'll post another tomorrow.

The kids were so enthusiastic and really came up with the goods. One of the best school visits I've ever attended. Thanks to Riverside Primary for inviting us.

TIDDLES and FRIENDS

These cardboard cut-out characters from The Dandy strip DOG 2 Zero were created for a promotional trip a year or so ago. They looked great and I wish we could have kept them - unfortunately they were left in Cannes. So Tiddles and his Ninja cats are probably lapping it up in some posh hotel now!

I sketched them out, Wayne drew them up and then I re-drew and coloured them in Illustrator so they could be scaled up.
