Art Challenges

In Custard

I’ve always liked playing around with art challenges - sometimes, the execution isn’t quite there, though!

Nevertheless, I persevered, and I backed Reckless Deck on Kickstarter - with it, I enjoyed playing around with the cards.

It's a deck building toolkit full of prompts for shattering creative blocks. It gives artists, writers, and RPG gamers the power to wield all of the most iconic imagery from all across Sci Fi and Fantasy, and endlessly recombine them in stunning, surprising new ways. It breaks all the rules of what genres are supposed to be, and gets you creating innovative and fresh characters unlike anything you’re used to seeing.

I thought it would be fun to incorporate some of these challenges into the zine, with the cards, and maybe in the future, people could send in theirs?

You can get the first issue of Custard at the link below - it starts things all off, and is only £2.50 + postage.

All issues of Custard, as well as my art book - Drawing For A Month - and my comic/cartoon book - …And Then…? - can be found at Custard Comix below:

I’ve just realised - that title and sub-title makes it look like it says “Art challenges in Custard”

Oh well :)
