HOSTILE TAKEOVER!
Good evening comic lovers everywhere!
I've been busy today, creating a new ep of experimental ukulele music (https://ruke.bandcamp.com/album/i-have-a-tuna-on-my-head), cleaning the kitchen and finishing off the clean-up of my latest mini-comic, 'Hostile Takeover'. I'm rather pleased with this one, as I've turned it around in a week from writing to scanning and make-up. A nice breather from 'Inner City Kitties', and keeping up with my intention of releasing a comic every two months this year!
Hostile Takeover is a bit of a love-song to Ashley Wood and 3A toys, both of which I'm a little obsessed with, and ticks my boxes for a robot comic and combat too. It tells the tale of Omnibot Incorporated owner and designer, Nelson Cooper and introduces the dread CEO, Owen Owens Snr. Business is war! I think we'll be seeing more of these characters in the future...
You can read Hostile Takeover for free online on Issuu here: http://issuu.com/morgangleave/docs/hostile_takeover, and there will be some printed copies available soon! (Watch this space!)
Enjoy the comic and have a great weekend!

INNER CITY KITTIES... PART 2
Good evening comic fans... How's your week been?
'Inner City Kitties' chapter one is progressing nicely. The first page is inked, coloured and lettered. It's not necessarily going to be the pattern for the rest of the book, but I wanted to get a full page under my belt before I cracked on with the rest of the pages. It sets the tone nicely, along with style and colour palette. I'm sharing it here, so you get a taster too. Four more pages are already inked, ready to be scanned, and I'm on roll with the others.
Enjoy!

INNER CITY KITTIES...
Been slacking on updates lately, mainly as I've been busy creating!
My challenge of creating a new comic bi-monthly this year is working well. I have one plotted, plans for six more, and just last week, I finished writing/storyboarding chapter one of 'Inner City Kitties', a six-parter starring MC Spacecat and DJ Tyrone.
The series traces their progression from 12 year old kittens to middle aged statesmen of hip hop. It's set against a backdrop which reflects the history of hip hop from it's birth in the 80s up to the present day. It's going to be kinda funny, with plenty of cameos from hip hop icons through the ages. I've loved hip hop since the Street Sounds 'Electro' tapes came out, and mixing it up with my major love, comics is pretty cool. I'm having a blast putting the series together, picking out tunes and acts to 'star' in it; going through my old records, tapes and CDs; checking out videos, documentaries and graffiti... it's a labour of love!
Inner City Kitties is going to be a multi-media project too. I've already written two of Spacecat and Tyrone's tunes, and have recorded the first one. There'll be EPs, LPs and videos to go with the comics, building the whole world of hip hop that Spacecat and Tyrone grew up in. The first issue should be ready for digital release at the end of February, and you can hear the first tune here: https://soundcloud.com/morgan-gleave/spacecats-message Rapping in character is really cool, but it's also allowing me to find my own voice too!
Here's the first two finished panels...

CHUCK ME A CHALLENGE!
Okay. As mentioned earlier, I'm planning on a new comic release on a bi-monthly basis this year. I'm plotting the first one, and have started on a bigger project which will be done (hopefully) at the end of the year.
But, I'd like you to help too... That's where 'Chuck me a challenge' comes in. I want you to send me ideas for more comics, the more challenging the better. I want to move out of my artistic comfort zone and push myself, so bring on the ideas!
You can email me at: morgan@morgangleave.co.uk or leave comments here on the blog... I look forwards to hearing from you!
