art school scum at OCAD

Posted in art school scum, comics, news by tom humberstone on October 21st, 2009

I made the mistake of asking people to post Art School Scum (still available for free!) around art colleges at a time that everyone was breaking up for Summer. In retrospect, it was a bit of a silly time to be offering up free content in exchange for a bit of cynical viral marketing…

But, thanks to living in New Cross and being so close to Goldsmiths, it is clear they have returned. The art students are back and now is the time to start printing out your favourite Art School Scum pages and posting them up as much as possible!

To kickstart the fun, here’s the Ontario College of Art & Design by Kayla, Toronto.

I’m told some security guards had to be avoided in the making of this midnight guerilla exhibit!

in review

Posted in news, press by tom humberstone on October 15th, 2009

Had some very kind and positive reviews of the comics I published earlier this year – How to Date a Girl in 10 Days and Everything You Never Wanted to Know About Crohns Disease – so just wanted to put them all in one place so they’re easy to find for people…

How to Date a Girl in 10 Days

“A perfect nostalgic look at youth, at the wonder of friendships, at the sheer joy of chasing love and the misery of rejection”Forbidden Planet International

“The book plays very effectively with the comics form, both with his use of layout and typography, but also what finally appears in the panels”Last Hours

Everything You Never Wanted to Know About Crohns Disease

“Without a doubt one of the best creators working in comics today”Comics Village

His candour, his humour, his honesty – all go towards making this most difficult of subjects eminently readable and enjoyable”Forbidden Planet International

I’ll update this post with more reviews as and when they turn up rather than blog more self-congratulating posts…
