First Sniffle... and Cough

So here it starts. This strip was actually created BEFORE the coffee ad but is the one that kicked the whole idea off.

Chris (the coffee dude with the mohawk) loves Punk music and is always singing along with The Clash while making coffee's. So i adapted a little and ended up calling the strip 'Coffee Love'.

This is also the strip that got me the gig in the loacal student magazine InUnison. :)

Enjoy!

Where it all began : Sniffles & Cough

I created a faux ad for the WONDERFUL staff at my local Coffee cart 'Expresso Plus', really just for fun.

While showing the staff there one of my other creations I was then approached by the students doing the Unitec student magazine 'InUnison' about doing a regualr strip for their magazine.

I threw around a couple of ideas and approached them with a student based idea and one based on the strange happenings at the Coffee cart.

The Editor really liked the Coffee cart idea as they are quite identifiable on campus (and their blend of coffee is infamous) and so Sniffles & Cough were born!

I'll be post their strips from time to time including further ad's and things I dream up along the way.

Hope you're having a good week and check back soon for more on :
