More Emails!

From EK Weaver who writes/draws TJ and Amal.

From Stewart of Just Add Water (Who I actually didn't know was at college today, grr!)
From Elena who writes/illustrates Sister Claire and the upcoming Nightingale (A tale of a blind superhero)

I've always been quite nervous about emailing/ringing people that I don't know but over the last few days I seem to have quashed that anxiety and I'm emailing people I never thought I'd get in touch with.

Edit:Leigh Gallagher (Defoe 1666) who I met at Thought Bubble. (How much I don't pay attention to my surroundings, a shout out I didn't know about)



And Emma who is currently working with Windflower studios (and has worked far Marvel comic and Tokyo Pop)

Email Away~

I've been sending emails off the last few days to various illustrators and designers/design studios and the first ones back were from Windflower Studio. A UK based comic book studio (all women) who have all recently graduated. As a studio they're currently working with writers Leah Moore and John Reppion, as well as comic book illustrator Emma Vieceli. They're working on a project for Hat Trick Productions and Channel 4 Education. (I'm told it's going to be a motion comic set in Victorian Manchester...which sounds awesome if that's true)

I emailed the studio as a whole and it was Fez who got in touch. (And this morning I received a really great email from Kit.)

My email to them.

Fez's reply.

I'm just waiting on them to get back to me with the answers to my questions. (Which all 4 of them are going to answer) They've got a deadline for Wednesday but I said whenever is good for them. I also just need to go through the images on the website and give the a list so I can get the higher resolutions.
