Plasticine Cowboy

He’s smooth, firm and odourless – and he’s on a mission.

Out of the Blueprint is excited to present Plasticine Cowboy, a new comic freshly created by our latest artist-in-residence Jack Stamp, to coincide with his exhibition in The Drill Hall from 1st August to 28th September 2024. 

Artist Jack Stamp tells us, "The idea for the story came to me when reading the safety instruction leaflet that comes with a pack of plasticine. The story follows a cowboy wandering into town after going on a rescue mission to save a woman’s son and ending in a shootout. The narration in the captions of the comic describe the properties and safety features of plasticine whilst also relating to specific events happening in the narrative. For example, “suitable for children” as he goes to rescue the child, “even when consumed” as the child bites his hand as he tries to uncuff him."

Using a unique blend of beautifully drawn and modelled artwork, Jack has playfully moulded the legend of the Plasticine Cowboy for fans of all things Wild West.
