LIVEExplore live demos
The world’s great creative talent, together under the Image brand. Each with their own live channel. Watch their screens, hear their thinking and learn directly through live sessions and masterclasses.
Established Image creators are just the beginning. Discover world-class talent from across comics, illustration and storytelling, including independent creators and people who have never worked for Image.
Drawing & visual storytellingExplore character design and visual storytelling. Watch an original digital drawing develop, with decisions about silhouette, detail and light explained along the way.
Writing & storyA blank page becomes a story. Explore scene structure, character choices and dialogue, with a script on screen and fans in the conversation.
Story & worldbuildingExplore the decisions that turn a premise into a world. Follow an original story exercise on screen, from character stakes to a scene that makes readers care.
Three illustrative channels from a proposed global platform. Creator participation, sessions and prices are examples.
Established names. Independent voices. Exceptional new talent. A platform open to great creators wherever they come from, brought together under a brand fans know.
Every creator has their own channel, brings their own audience and earns from the subscribers they attract. Fans discover more talent and find new reasons to return.
Explore creators and disciplines. Follow the channels you love and get notified when they go live.
Creators share their screens and voices from their own laptops. Watch the drawing, script or colour choices unfold.
Ask why a scene changed. Suggest a question. Learn directly through channel sessions and focused masterclasses.

The proposal: a standalone Image-branded platform for global creative talent, with Image owning and operating the destination using GAWP® technology.
Image owns the platform and selects its creators. Creators retain their work and creative independence. Fans build direct relationships with the people behind the stories.
Each creator earns an agreed share from every subscriber to their own channel and from paid masterclasses. Image earns a platform share, with further opportunities for sponsorship and advertising.
Creators invite their followers into the Image destination. Discovery across channels helps fans find new talent and gives them a reason to keep coming back.
No. The proposed platform is open to world-class creative talent from around the world, including independent creators and those without Image credits. Image would select creators and set the standards for its branded destination.
Creators retain their intellectual property and creative independence. Image would own the platform, with agreed revenue sharing for channel subscriptions and masterclasses. Joining a channel would not transfer ownership of a creator’s characters, stories or artwork.
Digital drawing, scripts, colour decisions, page layouts, concept art and creative breakdowns from a global range of talent. Sessions could explore creators’ own work and techniques, with permissions agreed for any published material. Creators explain their decisions while viewers ask questions.
Follow creators, receive go-live notifications and join their sessions. Each creator could offer monthly memberships and earn an agreed share from every subscriber to their channel, alongside separately ticketed masterclasses and selected free sessions.
Yes. GAWP® has built the underlying technology for live screen sharing and voice, individual creator channels, audience comments, followers, go-live notifications and paid subscriptions. This site demonstrates a proposed Image experience.
Explore the interactive channel previews above. This demonstration uses simulated screens and chat; live broadcasts, payments and registrations are not connected. Image LIVE is a proposal by Rich Stonehouse, founder of GAWP®, rather than an official Image service.
