Les Enfant Terribles: The Butterfly Gate

Just got back from a weekend of Brainstorming at my good friend @BookPirate (aka Ben Read). I went along with my My Partner in Crime Laura Trinder to do some planning and mind melding for some books we're working on this year. we have got a lot down some big ideas for the rest of the year. dubbed "the year of doing"

This here is an sketch I did whilst at Ben's and then decided to carry it through to inking when Igot home. they are the protagonists of a series myself and Ben have planned for the coming year. Ben has some serious ideas for these guys, and they are about to go through one hell of a journey. So far i've got one episode in the bag, working under the title of 'The Butterfly Gate'. but i'm going to get a bit of a back up before we release anything fully. but stay tuned, these guys will be around again soon for sure.

True Grit: Eagle Awards Noms

just a quick heads up!

apparently fallen onto the drop list on the Eagle Awards website, not sure i've done half as much as I should to earn the right! but its nice to get some appreciation! if you've read the book and like the story and work you can put in vote for me as a 'Best Newcomer Artist' True Grit: Mean Business has been nominated as 'Best British Black and White Comic' also Jim Campbell who was the lettering maestro of True Grit:MB has been nominated for best letterer. now that is a man who has well and truly earned his stripes in the comic book industry this year. to vote for any or all of us go to the website HERE

sorry for another text heavy info email. a bunch of new art and news will be posted by the end of the week.

True Grit: Mean Business "what ya'll think"

Still waiting to get a free moment to post up some new work and some True Grit sketches. Meanwhile True Grit has had constant nice responses. or at least a lack of negative responses so i'm turning that into a positive.......anyway, thought i'd share a few reviews, plus i've done a couple of interviews about how I got the job and recently this week i've had an interview more about the process with the Visual Mente Blog. that's usually a Spanish site but they have posted my interview in my own shaky English. anyway here's some links. hope to see more reviews!

Reviews:

True Grit: Official Business

Just a quick heads up. the True Grit: mean Business Dime Novel is now up on the official movie site it links to different formats of E Books and is available in 7 Languages!
So far had some nice reviews and some really positive feedback. I promise I'll have some behind the scenes type stuff and some general new work up soon. just want to let the dust settle and blow some smoke from the gun. Really happy with the reception so far so thanks for all the kind words and support!
More to come!

True Grit: Mean Buisness

Very happy to finally announce that the comic of True Grit which i worked on has finally gone online.


You can find it on Comixology here, completely free 26 pages of Grit. And a PDF Version here there's so much to tell about the process of this story and how i got the job but i think i'll save it just now. my mind is in a muddle on what to talk about first. meanwhile take a look and feel free to let me know what you may think.

New Website: Portfolio

Finally got some form of a Portfolio website up, its just a very basic promotion site, hoping to get something abit more flashier at some point in the future but for now its just purely for contact info and gallery so please excuse how stripped to the bare essentials it is, there's still a lot of work to get up on there and a lot of playing around with the design so be sure to keep checking it out in the future to see what comes of it! you can find examples of different work and projects i've worked on. such as Concept art, Comic, illustrations and paintings
you can find it under ChristianWildgoose.com

Dream Solver: Cover Art

Late Last night we decided to throw up on the Dream Solver Blog the Cover for the eventual book. were getting ever closer to getting the Ebook preview up. hopefully take some publishing interest and get the ball fully rolling again behind that.

Had a wee bit of a break from Dream solver and all other projects during December as i managed to get a pretty nice job but......The catch with this job was a tight, tight deadline. Luckily everyone who i had some sort of project in the mix with has been more than supportive, even my part time Job in Waterstones gave me some time away to get on with it. I really Cant thank enough everyone who helped and kept me sane.
It should be within this week i can finally tell what the project was, but right now just have to bee a bit hush hush. stay tuned! especially this week!
