Scott James

1. My artist buddy Scott James now has a blog up and running (Scott also worked on Starship Troopers). Check it out here and add him to your favourites!

2. Yes, I know "Fascists" is spelled wrong on the post below.

3. I've landed a big art job which is keeping me incredibly busy... I'm not allowed to talk about it or show any of the work to anyone which is a shame, but there you go! I'll be back in the land of comix once I've finished, stay tuned...

Facists!

Working on the last page of Intergalactic today, as well as some paid stuff for the NHS, would you believe (and more for Easy Jet tomorrow).

In other news, I've slowly been working through my entire DVD collection of the Sopranos, and it's still the most awesome TV series EVER. Well, that and Band of Brothers.

Troopers Preview

Still working on 'Intergalactic' this week, so in the meantime here's a sneak peek at one of my pages from Starship Troopers #10!

Galactic Goodness

Here's another panel from the forthcoming "Intergalactic Bank Robbing Teenage Space Aliens on the Run" for Future Quake. This was written by the mega-talented Martin Hayes and is really funny - I should start drawing more sci-fi craziness, as this first page has been so much fun (it's a 4-pager). I also get to "colour" this in grey tones, which is something I've never tried before.

Starship Troopers is FINISHED, so I can now work on this new project, as well as Where Evils Dare and some more Dredd samples.

In other news, I have taken posession of my brand new Vauxhall Corsa VXR - it's bloody quick and extremely good fun to drive - I have proudly joined the ranks of Boy Racer. WOOOH!

My covers band The Electric Detectives have begun recording a new demo (drums done yesterday) and our new Flash site should be up and running in a week or two.

And with that, back to the drawing-board...

YE GADS!

My new project is a BLAST to work on!! More soon...

Trooping Onwards!

Just got my copies of Starship Troopers #9 and it looks fantastic - niiiice print job! My colours came out exactly as I wanted them to. My Stateside buddy Scott James' pages look great as well. This project was no easy ride (just ask anyone who worked on it!!!) but holding the end result in your hands gives you a real sense of achievement - very nice to have your first published comic work.

And on that bombshell, here's a sneak peek at another panel from issue #10:

Starship Troopers #9

So Starship Troopers #9 "Triple Threat" is now out, in all good comic shops. I haven't seen it as I haven't been sent any copies yet... but Scott James picked one up at his local in the US and says it looks great. Here are a couple of my pages, with my colours (I won't be colouring my pages for #10 - I have a newfound respect for people who colour their own work and hit their deadlines - it takes FOREVER). Cover is by Scott.

Anyway, rush out and buy it - enjoy!

War Wound

You don't even want to know what this poor guy is looking down at...

More Troopers

Haven't updated my blog in a while - still wading through the second installment of Starship Troopers, although this time it's been more of a breeze as I'm not colouring my pages as well. I seem to have much more of a rhythm going when I'm working in black & white, not to mention it being a hell of a lot faster!

When this is done, I'll be continuing work on Where Evils Dare, as well as a 4-pager for Future Quake, then more samples for 2000AD.

Nazi Hobos

This was a character sketch for Where Evils Dare - I misunderstood what Tony was after for these characters and had to redesign - but it's still a pic I quite like :-)
