chickaDEE Magazine – The Magic Canvas
by matt
I have a four-page comic in the March issue of chickaDEE magazine.
It’s a silent (pantomime) comic about a girl whose drawings come to life.
While drawing it, I kept thinking of those 80s television commercials where the characters on the cereal box would come alive. I tried to convey the horror that a child would actually feel if one of those cartoon characters invaded her dimension.
Art direction by the wonderful, Sarah Trusty.

nice! you’ll post the whole comic later on?
don’t know if you’ve read it, but lewis trondheim’s monstreux bazaar deals with a similar subject.
cheers!
i used to spend _hours_ daydreaming about this happening, but i am sure I would have got my wish just as I had drawn _exactly_ the wrong thing.
Isn’t that the same story…
“Well, you know my name is Simon…and the things I draw come true…won’t you take me, take me over, the ladder with you…”
?
Your comics are great…and I did love Simon…
