art_of_waugh
I am a Scottish writer, illustrator and cartoonist living in sunny Newcastle Upon Tyne. I do comics and write funny stories and whatnot.
I have a blog at THIS MEANS WAUGH which will have up to date illustrations and comics news and that. I also have this lovely page and a MySpace for those of you who haven't sworn off the site altogether. --------------------------------------------------------------------- COMICS After a couple of years of procrastinating (as well as completing a Masters degree and changing careers) I've started to get back on track with my comics projects. Keep checking for updates. ---------------------------------------------------------------------  'MELANCHOMIC' (£1.50 inc. P&P) Autobiographical nuggets. Full of tales of woe and heartbreak, not to mention rude words and offensive humour. "a great little comic zine... It is labelled as autobiographical musings, which sounds about right. Some of the humour is offensive, but I would expect nothing less! There are comics about awkward social interactions where you don't remember people's names (this happens to me all the time!) and a part about "twelve reasons for still being a virgin" which rules because he actually includes having a gypsy curse as one of them. This is really entertaining and well-drawn. The people have a clip-art style charm to them" -- Last Hours "painfully hilarious (or hilariously painful) semi-autobiographical comedy anthology... I'd thoroughly recommend hunting this comic down, it's about as sharp as small-press gets, and features some fantastically designed artwork." -- Gordon Johnston, Virginia Gallery "observations and humor about love, sex, and relationships with a little self-doubt thrown in for good measure. Waugh's comix are well paced and strike a good balance between insight and humor." -- Midnight Fiction "A collection of predominantly single page ‘slice of life’ strips that offer wry observations on the trials and tribulations of being a single male. Andrew Waugh’s basic style relies heavily on repetition, but is surprisingly emotive given this (self-imposed) constraint. Despite the occasional – and openly confessed – filler, there are plenty of enjoyable strips, including Juicy Fruit, The Fine Art Of Pulling and Women's Parts." -- Comics International "what we have here is a record of the first few stumbles of heartbreak, as detailed by someone who doesn’t ever feel as though they will understand what love is. Well, everyone can empathise with that. While the whole tone of autobiography is one that can veer towards self pity (I think we’ve all seen comics like that), here it manages to escape this trap by cheerfully acknowledging this tendency. It’s a neat trick, and undercuts what could otherwise become very annoying. What is left is a winsome, funny little book that provides a few swift laughs and some moments of recognition. His art has grown stronger and is now more iconic than his earlier efforts. It has a crisp, clean quality to it that echoes the work of John Bagnell, or even fellow Scot John Miller. The back cover proclaims that this is Glaikit Comics, which is a great title for anything, and I hope to see it in use again soon." -- Douglas Noble, TRS2 Reviews "I thought Melanchomic was a nice collection and shows great potential." -- Sean Duffield, Paper Tiger Comix "inappropriate conversational foul-ups (that wouldn't get through a profanity filter), late-night fretting about how worthless your life is, trying to bluff a chance meeting with someone you don't recognise but who seems to remember you well - that's the sort of everyday stuff we're dealing with here. [He] does know how to time each panel, and laughs at himself with enjoyable good grace...the sort of thing that goes well to students who get value for money by showing the funny stuff to their friends who will each blink in horrified recognition." -- Page 45 There is a small supply of this title still available via my e-mail. ---------------------------------------------------------------------  Have your fondest childhood memories thoroughly molested by the sinister uncle that is... 'THE GUTTEST STORY EVER TOLD' (***SOLD OUT***) Script: Andrew Mitchell & Andrew Waugh, Art: Andrew Waugh, Lettering: Andrew Mitchell Join former movie star Steve Guttenberg as he cuts a swathe of carnage through a Hollywood audition! SWOON! As you are serenaded by Lou Diamond Phillips! TREMBLE! As Gutt threatens Rick Moranis! CREAM! As Tom Selleck turns up in a pair of Speedos! "hyper-violent comic strip about '80s legend Steve Guttenberg... 'technically this isn't science fiction, but it's about the star of Cocoon and Short Circuit!' pleads the guy who sent it in. That's good enough for us." -- SFX Magazine "you'll love this systematic foul-mouthed ultra violent mockery of every '80s star you could shake a stick at... hardly high brow, but damn, is it funny." -- Comics International "a showcase for Waugh's unique caricature visuals and no-holds barred humour." -- Gordon Johnston, Virginia Gallery |
