I wouldn't drink that ...




Here's my very first professional comics page , written by John Freeman , it's page one from Karyn : Skinner which ran in the Megazine. I remember working on this after I came home from my day job ( as an artists rep) . I think I got 3 pages into the script before I downed tools and went into Fleetway to show the editor the pages I was that nervous. Luckily he loved them and this style has been the backbone of my career...

Father's Day turning point

Here's the pencils . inks and colours for the Father's Day Time Team art. After playing around on previous TT pix with a more cartooned look recently I finally threw up my hands and went back to drawing in a more real way , albeit still blocky. I was trying to capture that feeling I got when I started this series way , way back. There are definite hints of that earlier blockiness in evidence , the Doctor and the Reaper both felt *right*. Both Rose and her father were drawn more realistically because they were forground figures. I've been drawing a strip for the next SMH Lovecraft anthology recently as well , on paper trying to get something back I felt the digital drawing had stolen from me. It's not about being old skool or any of that bollocks , more about losing the facility digital seems to give my work and bringing some struggle into my drawing again. It's been strenuous but not unrewarding. You'll see with the next few Time Team pics a darker feel to them.

New Weetabix style card

I've done a fair few Weetabix style cards over the years , for Dr Who Magazine , recently for Vworp Vworp and here's a private commission ( still to be coloured). Fans love the old Weetabix card format bringing back many happy childhood memories. Fun to draw too.

Panic Moon!



Pencil and ink stages for illustrations for Panic Moon fanzine. I did these because I'm a fan of the classic Auton stories and this was a chance to do something akin to the Target book illustrations you used to see. Visit http://panicmoonfanzine.blogspot.com/  for details on ordering.
