Bristol Comic Expo!!!

Posted on by

Yayy! Another action packed weekend. We finally had our industry launch – at the Bristol Comic Expo. Corey, Jennie and Yomi had a table at the show, as well as a panel discussion. We sat alongside the Barry and David of Geek Syndicate, the Markosia family, and Kill Shakespeare.

The interest in The Arrival and the whole project was very encouraging. We’re fired-up and looking forward to many of the challenges associated with producing a new project such as Clockwork Watch.

We’d like to thank Harry Markos, Matt Gibbs, Doctor Geof, Conor McCreery, Anthony Del Col, Jimmy Aquino, and James Pearson (Bayou Arcana).

Here are some pictures and a short video…

 

We were interviewed for Jimmy Aquino’s Podcast!

Under An Oak Tree: by Yomi Ayeni

Posted on by

Quite a bit of this project is based around South East London, and I’d like to introduce some of the areas as part of our ‘show and tell’.

The first place  is a little known village called Honor Oak Park and One Tree Hill – just off the A205 (South Circular Road) and on the Culture Line (Overground Railway Line). Legend has it that on 1 May 1602, ‘Queen Elizabeth I’ had a picnic under an oak tree at the summit of a hill. The tree came to be known as the Oak of Honor.

Part of Clockwork Watch was actually written or conceived on the hill, while gazing over the London skyline. Janav – our protagonist – lives in Honor Oak Park, and visits the hill in our story too! This area of London has some awesome Victorian legacy, which was an inspiration to me while was working through parts of the story.

Take the Horniman Museum for instance – apart from housing an incredible collection of natural history artefacts, it also has musical instruments, and arts & crafts from the Victorian era. It’s the ideal place to introduce  an anachronistic world where science, culture and Victorian values collide head-on. The museum features heavily in the first part of the story – and Jennie Gyllblad drawings are just spot-on! She’s recreated all the scenes from images found on the Internet.

First review of Clockwork Watch: “The Arrival” via Geek Syndicate

Posted on by

 

We’re happy to announce the first review of Clockwork Watch: The Arrival, by our friends at Geek Syndicate.

“Jennie’s art is classical in nature, elegant in execution and she shows a fabulous eye for colours and how to use them to add depth and emotion to every panel she draws. The other nice touch was the use of real locations including Crystal Palace and some small history lessons thrown in as well. I am new to the whole steampunk culture but really liked this story and I would recommend it to anyone looking to test the waters with the whole genre.”

It’s always humbling to read stuff like this, especially our first issue.

Thank you!!!
