I thought it might be useful to summarise some of the practical considerations and obstacles I encountered while doing my daily archaeology comic in the field this summer. I decided even before heading out to the island that trying to do a whole page or even a 3- or 4-panel comic every day just wasn’t […]

One of the things I wanted to do out on the island was experiment with using a daily comics journal as a form of public outreach. I wanted to see if a daily comic […]

Two years ago, I experimented with using comics as a format for field notebooks. Out on Palau, I created my archaeological field journal in the form of a comic. Last year, I presented the results of that experiment as a poster at the SAA conference. This year, I’m going to be continuing that experiment in […]

It’s only March, and yet it’s already shaping up to being a busy year for me and comics. I’ve got two big collaborative comics on the go this year.

I’m on my way to Memphis to the SAA Annual Meeting to give a paper on the outreach work we’ve been doing on Carriacou: “Showing What We See” (Thursday, Apr. 19th – “Public Archaeology in the 21st Century” session). Very much looking forward to showing everything that we’ve been doing since 2007 – including the […]

This is the comic Archaeology in the Caribbean which I originally wrote and illustrated as a public outreach project in 2010 for the Carriacou Island Archaeology Project on the island of Carriacou in the West Indies. In 2014 I revised it slightly and it was republished as Archaeology on Carriacou. It introduced a daily comic journal […]

Back from Carriacou/Mustique, now – a bit jet-lagged, but ready to turn my attention back to other projects. Lots coming up over the next few months. I’ll be starting to work with Fine Line Tattoos in Oswestry as part of the Inside Out group’s Artists At Work project; I’ve got both the Treasure From Anatolia […]
