Shane's Artwork 
That's right folks. I dabble in comics myself too. Artwork will be uploaded here as I draw it, as I hate most of my old work. But just to give you a taster here's my last published work, within the Misty Halloween Special. Letters by Andy Richmond.

You are so not wrong about the coolness levels of your comics - Falling Sky knocks them through the roof. Although, how much further can I mix my metaphors? Great stuff you folks are dishing out - and Londoners too! Yessss! 2 Replies [ Latest posted on June 12th, 2007 4:47 AM ]

Really? Where'd I get London from? Must be what they're putting in the water these days. Nevertheless, your welcome! |

Shane,
The Comics International column-Fightin' Words- is semi-regular. They'll use my Busted Knuckles columns when they feel they apply to what CI readers might enjoy. So you'll never know when they'll show up.
Thanks,
Beau |

I'm glad to hear you're doing something similar to savecomics in the UK. I think it was Ghandi who said something about be the change you want to see in the world--or something like that. Cool stuff, thanks for the add. 1 Reply [ Latest posted on February 1st, 2007 3:10 PM ]

thanks for the add. it's great to discover a horror anthology. i have a penchant for dark art and writing even if my own work is more spooky meets cute than actual horror. anyway, nice to meet you. 1 Reply [ Latest posted on January 31st, 2007 12:58 PM ]

You should just book anyway, if you cant make it you can always delegate to your pal.
Tables are going quick though. |

Cheers for the add - I do think I actually picked up a copy of Dead by Dawn acouple of years back now I think about it. Horror's not really my cup O' tea but still, it's nice to know there are little uk antologies here and there :) 3 Replies [ Latest posted on January 25th, 2007 6:28 PM ]

Hi Chris, Thanks for picking up Dead By Dawn. That would have been issue #1 last year. It was our vfirst comic. We also do sci fi and slice of life. There's a link to a free preview of our new Graphic Novel Falling Sky at: www.smallzone.co.uk/scarcomics.htm would love to hear what you think.
all the best, Shane |

Had a quick browse of the comic - my complimants to the artist on the backgrounds - the london cityscapes are beautiful - I'm not sure whether the simply rendered characters quite work in contrast to it or not, but that's more my own personal taste as opposed to it being particularly "wrong" - I guess we'll just to wait and see how it's received :) |

[ Posted by ScarComicsPress on Jan 25th, 2007 6:28 PM ]...
Thanks for the feedback chris. So far reviews have been very good, but I'm sure there will be others who take some getting used to Ben's original approach.
You might like to check out some of Ben's other books collaborating with different artists on his main website at: http://www.bendickson.co.uk/ Hopefully he'll be signing up here soon too. all the best, Shane |
