Here is page two of my FutureQuake strip. Pencilling them is taking longer than I thought (I had hoped to do a page a day, not a page every two days), but I’m getting faster as I go along, so hopefully I can back on track. It’s a long time since I did any comic [...]
I’ve finally completed the pencil for the first page of my Furturequake comic book, written by Neil Merrett.
Page 1
I’m not sure about the close-up of the heroine’s eyes yet (they look too masculine, I think), but I’ll come back to that panel when I’ve completed the remaining [...]
A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to be commissioned to illustrate a story for the next issue of Futurequake. I’ve been given a great script, written by Neil Merrett, and I’ve recently set about designing the main character, Psion. In his script, Neil describes her as follows:
A heavily armed woman with [...]
Which in this case stands for Concerted Publishing Regime. The combined pressure of a full time job, a (relatively) new baby, and the odd bit of freelance work means that I’ve been neglecting this blog for some time now.
Few things make a website seem more unloved and abandoned than a blog that hasn’t been updated [...]
Well, I’ve managed to avoid the (highly dubious) delights of Facebook and MySpace, but have recently succumbed to the siren call of Twitter. I have known about it for a long time, but had never really seen the point; now that I’ve signed up, I’m starting to understand it’s appeal. I’ve discovered some interesting new [...]
If you are interested in my artwork and have visited the site before (I know I have at least one or two regular visitors), then you may have noticed that I haven’t added any new images to my portfolio for quite some time. There are a number of reasons for this, not least being that [...]
This poor blog has been languishing, unloved and untouched, for quite a while now. A lot of things have changed since I last posted, and I’ve finally decided it’s time to pull my finger out and start updating the site again. I realise not many people (if any) actually read this blog, but it’s [...]
Okay, I think I’ve added all the images and animations that I need to, so I’ve reset all the “view” counters so that they aren’t distorted by my own editing and browsing. I’ve used this opportunity to add new things, and omit some stuff that either isn’t relevant or is similar to other material. It’s [...]
This time last year, Stefan at Reality Dreamship commissioned a caricature of fashion model Jordan Paris, which was used in the funky website he designed for her.
This morning, I was chuffed to see Jordan on LK Today, modelling Indian fashions for the lovely Lorraine Kelly. It was great to be able to point at the [...]
Yesterday I had confirmation from Adobe that my copy of Creative Suite 2 is now on it’s way via UPS.
For some reason though, Adobe sent the confirmation e-mail in PDF format, with no clickable links for the order tracking or support page URL’s. So I had to open up the PDF in Preview, then copy [...]
