Kung Fu RObot
Author & Illustrator
A pet project I started as a creative release and a chance to just be silly. A mixture of inspirations from Calvin & Hobbes and the Tick comics, I was trying to create something fun and adventurous. The project went from proposing a picture book, to graphic novel and then to Interactive Graphic Novel in the form of an ipad app.
