The Wormgler: Release Date.


I'm pleased to announce that my book, The Womgler, will be
released on the 1st of May 2016.
Please stay tuned for more details.

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.

The Psychedelic Journal of Time Travel: Money Never Weeps.

Here's the opening page of a comic strip I recently drew for a 
fantastic comic book called The Psychedelic Journal of Time Travel. 
Money never weeps (written by Derek Hamill) is my first comic
strip in over two years and I enjoyed every second of drawing it.
I highly recommend the latest issue (#6) of The Psychedelic Journal as 
it's packed with a collection of incredibly talented writers and artists, 
whom I'm very proud to be rubbing shoulders with. There isn't a dull 
story to be found within this highly entertaining publication.
To find out what happens next in the story, treat yourself and
purchase a copy of The Psychedelic Journal of Time Travel #6,
which can be obtained at the Comicsy  website, here.
Enjoy!

Countdown to Halloween Post-It Doodles.


During the build up to this year's Halloween, I quickly doodled 
a Halloween themed drawing onto a Post-it note and posted them on 
my twitter and instagram account on a daily basis. Great fun!
Here they are all collected together.
Enjoy!

Poetry Illustration: Daydream in the scanner.

Daydream in the scanner by Stephanie Stanton.

He was enchanted
with the perfect alignment
of edges; the firm pressure
of a thumbnail scraping
a crease of sharp permanence

Then she continued;
'Be generous with your colours
Be wild,unrestrained
in your selection. These are to be wings
of randomness and chance'

He is intimidated
by the necessity for strict alignment
The head restraint's pressure
forcing him to be perfectly still.
The muffled tapping making his memory flutter...

'Oh look, I see a face
Not a butterfly, a face
I believe it is a man's face;
wide and strong, poking out a forked tongue'
He recalls their shared laughter

Then they continue
making picture after picture
revealing colourful hemispheres
with each pressing
butterfly after butterfly.

One is pinned
measured and marked
There are but hushed mutterings
A damage - fragile wing dust
A sullied half
