Dogs Of Peckham Rye

Recently i, ZEEL made a zine making art resource sheet illustrating the theme of the dogs and walkers who frequent the handsome environs of Peckham Rye. This was for the renowned South London Gallery, who were working with the excellent, innovative and very nice Big Family Press. Here is the sheet-

You can download that sheet here, where there are also some fun and easy to follow ideas for fun zine making activities to do with children, on the SLG Big Family Press page.

But! I, ZEEL, made so many drawings for the project as I was enjoying drawing heaps of kooky dogs, that there is enough for a second sheet! Here it is:-

This extra page is also available for fun zine making, colouring etc ! Download it here. Another thing that you might enjoy on this theme, is a metric TONNE of even more drawings i did for this, (i couldn't STOP myself!) that i have coloured in and am going to put up on my instagram - here.

Covid 19 Zine

I decided to do a zine workshop as part of the 2020 UCU Strike, it was due to be a zine full of thoughts about the "4 Fights" the union is engaged in to gain more fairness for college workers in terms of Equality, Job Insecurity, Rising Workloads & Pay Devaluation.

The strike was effective in many ways!

However, on the last day, when my zine workshop took place. There were other forces at play. This is what we made .

Thermal Printer test image

All the cool kids are using Thermal Printers- A pity that they don't work with MACs! Unless you pay 90£ for a (poxy) printer driver. Which is an actual outrage! :-)

You get a nice coarse squirly dot pattern.

Sigh.

What is the secret of the GTP? Who does it serve?

What is da GTP?

VARNEY THE VAMPYRE :- LOCATION DRAWING/IMAGINATION/RESEARCH FUSION

I and excellent Belgian illustrator/educator Ephameron ventured to Hampstead Heath with Camberwell Comic Club to explore the story of "Varney the Vampyre" in the place where it was first envisioned by Varney author J.M.Rymer. Here are my efforts, these are all drawing on location, trying to fuse observed drawing, research and imagination in order to explore the story in fresh ways. We start off where Varney is felled by a Blacksmith with a shotgun (he recovers of course), and then some pictures of the Hampstead 'Topers' who conspire to 'do him in'.
