'The Writers at Work' - 'Dylan Thomas'.
Scottish artist Tom Gauld attended the Edinburgh College of Art and the Royal College of Art. He first showcased his dry humor and deadpan dialogues in comic books like 'Guardians of the Kingdom' (2001), 'Robots, Monsters etc' (2006), 'Hunter and Painter' (2007), and three issues of 'Three Very Small Comics' (2002, 2004, 2007). While still at the Royal College, in 2001 and 2002, he drew the weekly comic strip 'Move to the City' in the London Time Out, and he worked with Simone Lia on the self-published comics 'First' and 'Second' through their own Cabanon Press label.
