PPP// Currently Idols part 1 - Andrew Maclean

I stumbled across a comic of Andrew Macleans work on Instagram, where it popped up on my search feed titled 'HEADLOPPER'. Let me tell you, this comic series has become one of my most beloved additions to my bookshelf. 

As you can see I follow him religiously on Twitter 

Andrew Maclean is an illustrator/cartoonist based in the US, 

who has had a number of comics released under labels like Dark Horse and Image Comics. He began his career as a cartoonist simply and with each publish has become more popular within his own projects and others. Since his latest work 'HEADLOPPER' has grown in popularity so has himself as a creative illustrator. Andrew has a heavy online presence as his social media has a constant stream of incoming new contest such as Work-In Progresses, adverts for his latests works, illustrations, commissions and photos of his beautiful beard.

I recognised the comic HEADLOPPER in my local comic book store in Leeds from the WIPs Andrew had updated his twitter and Instagram with and i've never perched something so fast in my life. Andrew hand-inks his comic book pages and works with a few other creatives in order to colour, cover and shape each volume of the comic series. So far HEADLOPPER has released 3 comics in a 4part comic series and I'm lucky enough to own them up to date! As a creative myself, I want to further develop my skills into storytelling within animation and because of Andrew Maclean, I want to develop my skills into hand drawn comics. I've been lightly working on a comic by myself since the beginning of the year, that has sadly been put way back on the shelf of ideas because of the work I've been doing within university; but recently I've perched a number of fine-tipped brushes and ink in order to begin practicing within hand-drawn comic-book making. Previously to this, I'd been working digitally but now I'm very keen to move into a more traditional way of producing comics and  cartoons.
