The Wormgler: Out Now.


I'm thrilled to announce that my book, The Wormgler
has now been published. To purchase a signed copy, 
please head over to my shop or contact me via email.
Thank you for your kind support.
Enjoy!

David Frankum presents The Wormgler, a tale of hope, of the 
balance between light and dark and the mysteries within ourselves 
and the universe. It raises questions about our place in the world, 
but leaves the reader to draw their own conclusions.
Each beautifully illustrated panel is cleverly constructed,
 with its unique style belying the powerful themes within.
 Thought provoking and uplifting, each viewing of 
The Wormgler offers something new to discover.
Originally presented one panel per day via Twitter, this publication 
collects The Wormgler into a very special limited edition volume.
With a foreword written by Sebastian Stobbs (Conquer Gear) and
an afterword by Liz Norman (Frothy Betty).

Strangelands & Troublesome Things: Out Now!

Strangelands & Troublesome Things contains 15 illustrations and a cover, all drawn by me.
I'm pleased to announce that Strangelands & Troublesome Things: Chapters 1-3 
(written by Saraha Coe) has now been published and is available to buy. 
Already, the novel has proved to be very popular, receiving some great reviews. 

The Amazon Kindle version (ASIN: B00KKU4MUE) can be bought at this link: http://goo.gl/VXNk6m
The print version (ISBN: 9781784078744), published by Feed A Read, can be bought at this link: http://goo.gl/rzPEXB 

Within the next few weeks, the novel will also be available through 
Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble (US); Amazon, WHSmith and Waterstones (UK); Amazon Europe; and TheNile.com (Australia). We have worked very hard to try and keep the price of the book at the lowest possible so that we can make it accessible to everyone and affordable to you all.

Once you have read (and hopefully enjoyed) the book, please could you kindly leave a review, even if it's just a few sentences long. This will hopefully help to build an audience. Most importantly, the feedback will help us enormously when putting the rest of the novel together. So please be honest.
Thank you kindly.

Strangelands and Troublesome Things: Exclusive look.


Here's one of my illustrations for Saraha Coe's novel, Strangelands and Troublesome Things;
there's still a little bit of tinkering to do, but it's pretty much there. Saraha and I don't wish to say 
too much about this piece or the characters as we're trying not to give too much away at this stage 
but, in total, fourteen illustrations have been produced for the first three chapters of the book and 
we're aiming to release chapters 1-3 in late spring/ early summer, with the rest of the book coming 
out towards the end of the year. As you can imagine, we're both very excited at the prospect.
I'll be showcasing more illustrations from the book during my appearance at the 
London Super Comic Convention (table D108) at the 
Excel Centre, Londonon the 15th & 16th of March.
Please stay tuned, both here and on Saraha's blog, for further exciting news 
and updates on Strangelands and Troublesome Things.

Strangelands & Troublesome Things: Character Study.

While I've been working on the illustrations for Saraha Coe's novel, Strangelands & Troublesome Things, it occurred to me that I hadn't fully addressed this particular character (whose role in the story shall remain a secret for now). He pretty much appeared just as a scribble in my composition roughs. Recently, I put some time aside to develop this nameless (for now) individual. As you can see, there are slight changes to his appearance as myself and Saraha work on translating his personality from the story's text into an image, refining his visual identity and characteristics in a way we'd like to present him to the readers.





Progress on Strangelands & Troublesome Things is going very well. I had to take a short break from this exciting project as I had to attend to art duties elsewhere (stay tuned, folks). To keep up with the latest developments on Saraha's novel, please revisit, follow me on Twitter and be sure to check out Saraha's blog. Thank you.
