“Immersion” Card Game Kickstarter Campaign

742872933ab7bb987a8055e64a28faf9_originala7a2e4426651adede269182dad8f3438_originalSome colleagues of mine at the language school at which I teach have come up with a novel language learning tool: A role-playing card game, called “Immersion,” designed to promote English language acquisition and practice in a fun and interactive way. The card game includes 20 “character cards” drawn by none other than yours truly!

In order to finance the creation of the card game, a Kickstarter campaign has been launched. You can check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1825282000/immersion-a-creative-way-to-learn-english?ref=nav_search

Donations of any size are very welcome, but you will notice that for elite, “Fully Immersed” donors –those willing to back $150 or more– the rewards include becoming a part of the game, by having your likeness immortalized as one of the game characters, drawn by me! Just think, people all around the world may soon be role-laying the game as you (or as another character created according to your specifications)!

“Burnt Norton” by T. S. Eliot in The Four Quarters Magazine

BurntNorton detail2New pages from my comics adaptation of T. S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” should be ready in about a week or so. In the meantime, those looking for an Eliot comics fix can check out my one-page adaptation of my favourite passage from “Burnt Norton” (the first of Eliot’s “Four Quartets” poems) in the latest issue of The Four Quarters Magazine, here: http://www.tfqm.org/Julian-Peters1.html

The Four Quarters Magazine is an India-based publication dedicated to the fostering of  creative writing in English. In the following three issues I will be publishing graphic adaptations of short extracts from the remaining three poems in the “Four Quartets.”

My adaptation of “Burnt Norton” references some elements of the poem not included in the written extract. You can read the complete text of Eliot’s poem here: http://www.davidgorman.com/4Quartets/1-norton.htm

1920s Dandy for Aklasu Magazine

Cubist DandyAnother illustration for Aklasu Online Men’s Magazine, this one accompanying an article on the short-lived reappearance of colour in menswear in the 1920s. I started with the idea of trying my hand at an art deco style, but ended up with something more cubist, which would be more appropriate for the previous decade. You can read the great article by Justine Smith here: https://aklasu.co/50-shades-pink-colour-palette-1920/
