Has it really been this long?

Wow.... so March was the last time I posted here? That is shameful!!!! I really can't let that happen again (yes, I know I've said that before...)

So what have I been up to all these months - well, work on Project Luna: 1947 continues, and I recently had some time to really hammer out some pages and it was great fun. This book is going to be fantastic, and I'm almost at the halfway point now, when things really start to heat up! I'm still loving the drawing, the colouring AND the lettering. I'm also learning a LOT as I go. Here are a few unlettered pages (I don't know why they aren't clickable - stupid blogger, I'm going to Wordpress soon):

I've also been hard at work on my monthly football strip in KiCK! magazine, as well as all my other cartooning work. Here is a recent strip:

So it's been comic artist business as usual! My early New Year's resolution is to update this blog more regularly... let's see how long I can keep it up (but with the new Battlefield Vietnam coming out next week, it isn't going to be easy!!)

Blog Banner!

Latest work! I've just finished this commission - a banner for David Fletcher, for his blog Dark Knights White Soul, which you can see here.

I've also just finished some artwork for an NHS website, a poster for a play, and of course I'm working on the latest issue of KiCK! magazine - this time featuring Zidane - the David Beckham strip shuld be in the shops soon. All of this has left me little or no time for new Luna pages (I have now officially finished book one, though!)

Becks

Today I have mostly been colouring David Beckham.

Rooooooneyyyyy!

New for 2010

It's been pointed out to me that I have wofeully neglected my blog lately (again!) so I thought I'd better make the first post of 2010!

I've been plugging away at Luna as usual, and the first book (of four) is almost in the bag. I'm also working on a 4-pager for Insomnia, as well as my monthly gig drawing the Game of My Life strip for KiCK! magazine. I also had a few Xmas-related cartooning gigs over the festive period, as well as some web design bits and pieces.

So the lonely journey continues into a new year...

Colouring...

Here's a simple panel from Project Luna, showing the stages of colouring: First the bare inks, then a little background colour, then I've done the "flats" (just flat basic colours - the bit that takes the most time!) and finally I've added the shadows, shades and highlights. At least this is the way I do it! Next time I'll pick a more complicated panel.

Grusov

More new teaser panels from Project Luna, hot off the press...

Lavoisier

Another sneak preview from the forthcoming Project Luna: 1947.

More Kick!

Here is the latest page I've just finished for Kick! magazine (c) Attic Media Network.

Now I'm back to drawing Luna again (page 17, where we meet Dr Jacques Lavoisier...)
