Carrying on the theme of last week, again I am wanting to support the comics industry in these times of crisis. Last week I was more than abley assisted by Phil when we put a selection of Lcs under the spotlight. I wanted to give them a push whilst in lockdown as they are offering solid online services. This week is a little different but no less important. With the festive period upon us I thought it would be good to showcase some independent creators. These guys are the back bone of the industry. They are fans who have been inspired by comics to go and carve out a little corner for themselves in a very crowded marketplace.

A selection of filmmaker David Lynch’s large-scale paintings are on display at the Los Angeles gallery Griffin, in what is the artist’s first solo exhibition in more than a decade. “David Lynch: New Paintings,” a collaboration with James Corcoran and William Griffin, includes 13 mixed-media pieces and focuses on a variety of themes, such as religion and fantasy. “These paintings come from ideas conjured from our world,” Lynch said. “The artist doesn’t have to suffer to express suffering. If you get ideas that you want to translate to a medium you will derive so much more enjoyment from creating.”...
