Welcome to the website of UK cartoonist and comics artist Tony Wicks. Here you will find galleries of strip cartoons and comic strips, illustrations, story boards, script/ story concepts and various other personal galleries and projects, such as life drawing and sketches. There are also regular news and blog updates.
Tony is currently collaborating with script writer Martin Buxton co-creating original comic strips available to buy on the internet at C2D4, and at the UK comic conventions they regularly attend. He also welcomes commissions, and collaborations, for commercial work and anthologies.
Keep your eyes peeled for all-original serialised titles such as Last of the Chickenheads, Jack in the Box, Crowman, The Hack, and many others. |
Page Zero
Well, a page before page 1...or the new page 1. I decided that the beginning of the 'Chickenheads' story needed something a bit less abrupt, so I've drawn a page that eases you in, in much the same way those frenetic bursts of action between titles at the beginning of some movies ease you into the first main scene. With the Bristol comics convention about 3 weeks away, I've my work cut out to complete pages 15/ 16/ 17 and 18, colour them, and also get a press-pack ready. I'm also in the process of re-lettering, and have bought 3 new fonts from here to that end. I've lettered the first 7 pages again, and they certainly help give them that professional finishing touch. Comic Sans isn't really the answer :)
Looking forward to Sunday's life drawing sesh...As my ex work colleague Toni says, 'it must be nice swanning around drawing all day' Well, yes, actually it is :)
