Each month we feature a different artist’s work on the front cover of the Buzzer. This month, we invited the award-winning Julian Lawrence to illustrate the cover of the October 2014 issue. If you ask me, what he came up with ranks up there among the very best Buzzer covers!

He took time out to do this quick interview with us:

Who is Julian Lawrence?
A Vancouver-based cartoonist and educator. You can find out more at julianlawrence.net.

Tell me about Drippytown.
It’s a project created by Robert Dayton and myself. You can find out more at drippytown.com.

What’s your favourite thing to draw?
Drippy the Newsboy. You can see him at drippytown.com.

Have you ever drawn a bus before this gig?
Yup. A few times. Please find attached one I drew based on a recent bus ride.

What’s next for you?
The Adventures of Drippy the Newsboy Volume I: Drippy’s Mama published by Conundrum Press is out in May, 2015.

Thank you to Julian! If you haven’t picked up the October issue, you can download it here and check out his illustration. Like his work? Consider taking one of Julian’s courses in contemporary comics at the  Emily Carr University of Art + Design!
