mean g'rilla

Not much to say his week other than I'm cracking on with a 10 page strip for Insomnia comics. it's gonna appear in their anthology title. Not my usual fare, but what the hey I do like to try other stuff. I'll post some of the sketches I've done in a few days or so.
but for now, a little g'rilla sketch and yup, still using the markers.
see you on the flip side

Enough with grey tone already

Another sketch with those damned grey markers.
And the character, for those who don't recognise it, is Eric Powell's wonderful creation- the Goon.
This should be on everyone's "must read comics" list (along with Jack Staff).
In fact, it should be compulsory reading by everyone of all ages.
There should be a law passed that you have got read it.
Well maybe not...
but it is pretty terrific, and you are missing a real gem if'n you don't get out there and start reading it today.

grey girl

I'm really liking these grey marker pens. Once again cheers Shane.

just a practicin'

My good friend Mon sewer Oakley presented me with a loverly little gift this chrimbo... a set of 5 twin tip letraset of grey markers. Crackin!
Anyway I thought I'd have ago at sketchin' with 'em.
So... a small sketch of the mighty iron man (grey version).

A new year, some new stuff

Is it the 1st already? Bugger, where does all the time go.
anyway first things first...Happy new year and all that. ( I missed all the Christmas hullabaloo didn't I)
I hope everyone had a terrif holiday time and got all the prezzies they asked for.
Now I know what you're asking.. where the bloody hell have you been. No updates for a month, slapdash, is what it is. This is no way to run a blog, but in my defence I have been busy with drawing and writing. I'm finally moving on with Hard Country, the huge western I'm working on. I've started the pencils on issue 2 and I'm writing issue 3. I sold a strip to Boom studios, so I'm doing all the work on that. I've been approached to do a a strip for Insomnia studios for their Layer Zero anthology, touching up a strip for AccentUK's next anthology-predators and have written a zombie fairytale, so not exactly twiddling my thumbs. And thats not to mention the huge project I want to start later on in the year..A pulp action adventure with...no that's for another time. As I (hopefully) finish all these projects I'll be posting little previews on here.
So, that's the plan anyway.
So a busy year ahead...
Wishing everyone a prosperous and exciting new year to you all and I'll see you later
