FRANKENSTEIN MAN AND MONSTER

The monster  image was a pin-up for Tinnell/Vokes ' THE BLACK FOREST graphic novel. The other an image for an online film game.

CIRCUS OF NIGHTS

 Vampire Circus is my favourite Hammer film , though to be fair there are a couple of near contenders. The illustration features Emil who can turn into a black panther. He presents a rose to the Burgermeister's daughter.

DEMON CAT !

Here's Dana Andrews as John Holden about to be menaced by Karswell's demon cat from CURSE OF THE DEMON. Marvellous film - check it out.

Shandor Sez Dez!

 News :

I'll be interviewing Dez Skinn ( House of Hammer , Dr Who Weekly , Warrior ) at a one off event.

 August will see the release of DR WHO: COLD BLOODED WAR - a one shot I've drawn for IDW Comics starring old foes the Ice Warriors and Draconians ! Coloured  by Kris Carter - I'll post examples when I can.

Upcoming is A Study In Terror for Neil Vokes' ELEGY book. I've seen some of his pages and they're a real treat. My back up strip is a psychothriller. I'll be drawing that soon .

Torchwood Dog Fight!

Where does time fly to? Seems like only yesterday I was posting here but the clock says different. I'm in the latest issue of Titan's Torchwood mag - it was great to be asked to draw this episode called Broken - written by Gary Russell!

The flash from the past is from a MEGAZINE fiction called DOG FIGHT - it's in the style I worked up for Terry Sharp - though stylistically I'm wading through new/old waters at present drawing a black and white strip to be coloured by somebody else. It's a secret and it's huge fun...

Cyber Man

Of all the Dr Who creations I've drawn - I'm probably best known as the artist of The Cybermen - a 24 part story I drew back in the early 1990's. I'll be featuring an extensive post on this personal landmark series soon. Meantime he's a blog first - never reproduced anywhere - my take on the modern era Cybermen!

Baron Frankenstein ( A Terry Sharp film)

Waiting in the wings for quite awhile to be drawn is Terry Sharp's first gothic feature - BARON FRANKENSTEIN. Legend has it that two pencil layouts exist in the Studio - but for now may I unveil our main protagonists! My good friend Bob Tinnell wrote the tale - he also scribed our graphic novel THE FACELESS: A Terry Sharp Story which is available from Amazon. We both intend to get back to the big guy and I'll certainly be highlighting my favourite 1960's film director and fighter of Evil - here at the blog.

BARON FRANKENSTEIN was initially shelved for various reasons - running at 30 plus pages in colour - finding an opportunity for that much free time was a task. Also I'd just finished drawing UNIVERSAL MONSTERS for Dr Who Magazine and frankly - bad pun intended - I was burned on gothic. Yes it can happen. Anyway here's the pix.:)
