Graphic novel biographer of David Bowie (@REBELREBELcomics) and The Smiths (#TalesofTheSmiths), Academic, Glamrocker
Reposting @canarygoestweettweet's wonderful post o Reposting @canarygoestweettweet's wonderful post on Tales of The Smiths: "Really enjoying @conchrisoulis' ‘Tales of The Smiths: A Graphic Biography’. A fab retelling of the prehistory of the band through the release of ‘Hand In Glove’, Chrisoulis relies on their own words to tell the story. By sourcing quotations from sources such as popular and hard to find interviews, a really rich story is told of their upbringings, their influences, and what brought them together. Presented in short, interconnected (and unpaginated) episodes, each titled and including relevant listening and reading suggestions, it’s a massive labor of love that is worth any Smiths fan’s time. The artwork and inking is fantastic and lends to the narrative structure. The author is also working on a David Bowie graphic biography in the same manner— @rebelrebelcomics — which is also worth checking out/following and has a Patreon that you might consider supporting. There’s a great interview with the author on @john.maggiore6 ‘s wonderful MaggioreOnBowie YouTube page that is definitely worth your time. Anyway, support independent artists and please check out this book and the Bowie comic in progress." ✌️✨🙂👨‍🎤🎸 #thesmiths #davidbowie #comics @omnibuspress #musicbiography #TalesofTheSmiths

Throwback to a graphic journalism/editorial illust Throwback to a graphic journalism/editorial illustration assignment that was published in BIG FISH magazine in December 2008. I was commissioned by the magazine's editor to accompany journalist Diomedes Pitouras to a #GuitarHero competition in Athens and take notes/sketches of the participants, the contest and the general vibe. Guitar Hero was quite popular at the time, but, as I was writing songs and trying to carve a career as a proper guitarist with my concept album band #Autodivine, I naturally scoffed at the videogame, which had nothing to do with learning or playing the guitar.

I was commissioned by the magazine's editor to cover the Communist Party of Greece's (KKE) annual festival and report back in the form of a graphic journalism piece, in the tradition of Joe Sacco.

Throwback to an editorial illustration piece that Throwback to an editorial illustration piece that was published in BIG FISH magazine in April 2009. I was commissioned by BIG FISH magazine's editor to interpret an article by journalist Kostas @KBourousis about PASOK, Greece's ultra-corrupt socialist party which had fallen out of grace with the public. The journalist secretly entered an open audition for young party fanatics who could represent the next generation of PASOK in their upcoming preelection commercials. I read the article and created a single page illustration and a series of spot illustrations. The party's logo is a green sun and their branding colour and everything they decorate, from pamphlets to headquarters, is green, hence the greenish fever dream.

Jamie Hewlett x Con Chrisoulis?? Reposting MaxAndr Jamie Hewlett x Con Chrisoulis?? Reposting MaxAndreone who just made a great reel that presents all the appearances of The Smiths in comics, incl. #TalesofTheSmiths 1 - “Tales of The Smiths” a 464-page graphic novel biography that chronicles the youth of the members of the British band The Smiths, showing their musical influences and the cultural context that led to the group's formation in 1982. Written and drawn by @ConChrisoulis 2 - 'Deadline' was a legendary British counterculture magazine in the late 80s and early 90s, known for launching the iconic Tank Girl. "Whatever happened to The Smiths?" A short three pages story that satirizes Morrissey and his band, drawn by Jamie Hewlett @Hewll of @Gorillaz fame. 3 - “Chrononauts” is a science fiction comic created by @mrmarkmillar and @seangordonmurphy which mixes humor, action and time travel. The plot follows two adventurous physicists who develop technology to travel through time and end up getting involved in chaotic missions that challenge both the past and the future. In the third issue, Danny Reilly returns to the past, becomes the leader of The Smiths and plans to dethrone Morrissey, forever changing the band's destiny. 4 - "Morrissey," a 16-page immersion of curiosities and details about Moz, with text and illustrations by @LukeyMcGarry. 5 - "The New Adventures of Hitler" is a highly controversial British comic written by @Grant.Morrison and illustrated by Steve Yeowell, published between 1989 and 1990 in Cut and Crisis magazines. The work blends political satire, surrealism, and alternate history, exploring the idea that Adolf Hitler lived in Liverpool before World War I. Morrissey unexpectedly emerges from a closet, melancholically singing 'Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now'. 6 - “Menina Infinito” is a graphic novel by @LyraRockstarr that intimately and melancholically portrays Brazilian youth in the 2000s, marked by pop culture, indie music, and small everyday dramas. It's an award-winning comic, considered an affectionate portrait of a generation that grew up among blogs, mixtapes, and concerts. The Infinite Girl dreams of Morrissey. #thesmiths #morrissey #comics #graphicnov
