Page 100 project

Jason Turner came up with the page 100 project,

So ages ago, Dave Howard suggested to me that it might be an interesting idea for cartoonists to try adapting a part of a novel they liked. And then recently when JD Sallinger died, that notion came back to me, and then I thought oh it might be interesting to attempt to do a comic of some portion of one of his books. And as I sat on the couch staring at the shelves of books, I thought it might be fun to try it with different books. Maybe just a page. Maybe the SAME PAGE from each book.
So basically you get a book, flip to the 100th page and translate that one page into one page of comics. Could be good to try this for our next challenge? How much time would people need to complete one page, is one week enough?

Carvan: Blister


Thank you Anthony for inviting me to be an 'honorary' member of the Chugnut Collective. I am both chuffed and chugged, not so nutted however. I do have 'nut' issues though. Ahem.

I didn't think I'd be participating in this week's challenge but then, this morning, I just woke up and *had* to write this comic. I love comics that force themselves to be drawn. There's something, I don't know, really honest about them. So here's my true blister story - blood, pus and all.

Comics class


A large chunk of Chugnut members spent the week participating in a comic master class with Dylan Horrocks. Which didn't leave much time to participate in the comics challenge.

I have also not able to post on some of the ideas I suggested a few weeks ago. The main one being a post on a comics school in Australia which I would still like to address. For now it seems like we have hit on a good idea to post challenges to the Chugnut blog. The first one being to produce a comic on the word camp and secondly this week has been to produce a comic on the word blister.

I would like to continue posting comic challenges to the blog, most likely they will be weekly challenges from Sunday to Sunday. For 'Blister', I will keep submissions open for the rest of the week, if we get a minimum of four posts I will put up another poll.

Chugnut Challenge - Week 2

I must send my congratulations to Ms Schell - though I do think more people should've voted for me! Maybe I'm bias??!!!???

Challenge: Blister

Produce a comic on the word 'Blister'

Here are the rules,

1. Draw a comic on the word/theme
2. The comic must be at least two panels/pictures in length, more if you're willing
3. You have one week to post your comic, starting today


That's it, there are no other rules, so go wild. Use colour, draw it in the sand, write it in Mandarin it's up to you.

Chugnut members can post their comic to this blog and their own. Anyone else is free to give the challenge a try, they can post a link in the comments of this post.
Happy drawing!
