LEROY

I have been wanting to discuss this project for a while and now it seems to be taking flight.

Over the last few months I have been working on a project with my good friends- writer Tom Cassidy [currently working at ] and Chef JeromeBillot [Executive Sous Chef of  Soho outlets].LEROY is a passion project which has been in the works for a good 6 years now. A comic book based on the world of chefs, cooking and restaurants with a slight Manga twist.That is all I can say right now. I'm working on the first issue right now. The hardest part of it is it's a passion project so my paid work is priority at the moment. The story has a basic outline but needs some working. I have uploaded a few of my warmup and character development sketches of Leroy... There are alot of influences I have had for this project. I want to just list a few that have had a major impact on the way this has shaped out;- My Family, for having such a long history of the food and beverage industry. My father, sister, uncle and gran in particular who have such a knack and passion for food and have always kept me 'well fed'.- My friends Jerome, Taren & Tom who have all helped me to develop the story and give sides of the catering industry I have never seen before.- Anthony Bourdain's - Everyone I worked with at  in both Portsmouth and London back in my waitering days [haha!]- Stephen Chow for ''. I love that filmSo back to the drawing board.'Till Next Time True Believers!
