CARDIFF INTERNATIONAL COMIC EXPO!!!


Hey guys,

On March 2nd-3rd I shall be joining a bunch of fellow ( not as attractive as me) 2000ad droids at the Cardiff International Comic Expo!

I'll be doing sketches at my table, as well as a couple of panel talks , and FINALLY get to see the Judge Minty fan film!

Should be a lot of comicy fun, and catching up with old buddies, so hope to see you there! Though forgive me if I seem a little tired as I'll be travelling up at 5.45am!

I HAVE A 2000AD DREDD T-SHIRT OUT!!!!


 Yes, it's true, now YOU CAN all dress as cool as me!

As you can see, 2000AD with Plastichead have produced a t-shirt featuring my "crotchtastic" Judge Dredd cover art from prog 1770 of which you can see the original making of HERE.


I'm really made up to actually have some official "merch" out there, the only slight downside being is that they were apparently made "exclusively" for HMV high street stores to coincide with the awesome DREDD dvd release, who if you didn't know, unfortunately went through administration and are currently closing down a lot of stores.

So, if you can't find it in a HMV, the makers PLASTICHEAD are selling it on their online store HERE!  Just search for "Dredd" in the t-shirt section.

Finally, here's some PROFESSIONAL models that took time out from their busy lives looking pretty, wearing the t-shirt....

DEFOE: THE DAMNED TEASER....

Well, it's been a long time coming due to Pat Mills and myself being busy on other projects, but I'm finally hard at work on the FIFTH book of 2000AD's DEFOE: THE DAMNED! Above is a sneaky look at one of the pencilled panels....

BRAND SPANKING NEW STUDIO TOUR!!!!

But without the spanking.

Yeah, it's been a while since I've done this, but we got our new house a while back, and I FINALLY have the studio space I've wanted for a long time!

You can find the previous studio tours HERE and HERE to see how I've upgraded over the years, and for a closer look at some of the cooler stuff.

Ok, take your shoes off at the front door because here we go.....

 PWHOOOOAAAARRR.... this is the largest room I've ever had to play with, fitting all my crap in. Please bare in mind that it is NEVER, EVER  this tidy and organised. It won't look like this again for six months so I thought I'd better document this sharpish! Oh, and that table, even though I love it like a brother, is the bloody reason why I'm in debt now! (Never use credit cards kids....)

 I've now upgraded my A3 scanner to a Brother scanner/A3 printer. The Superman poster on the right will be getting replaced with a Thundercats poster as soon as I can afford to get it framed.

 Framed posters of two of my favourite films, "THE 'BURBS" and "HELLBOY"....

 You see that? That's a COUCH. IN MY STUDIO. A COUCH. I've always wanted a couch in my studio... do I sit on it much? Do I buggery. My dog does though...

Still loving my life sized Hellboy, Judge Dredd and Iron Man props.... won't be able to ever purchase any more though, being a newly married man with "responsiblities" now....

 Finally, this view is the one I'm most used to, where I spend most of my life trying not to go on the internet, eat my cakes, write my memoirs, oh, and DRAW AWESOME COMICS!

Right, that's your lot! Put that cake back where you found it, and GET OUT! I'm keeping your crappy shoes for that....

As an extra treat, here's a making of one of the interior AQUILA  pages....

Very loose pencils...

Colours by Gary Caldwell...

FINALLY, as an added bonus, here's something that will absolutely give you no choice but to BUY IT...!!!

A SPECIAL COMMISSION!


Gotta say, I'm pretty damn happy with how this one turned out....

A good friend of mine wanted a special gift for her new husband, and so commissioned me to draw up this picture of the pair of them as characters from a certain film... you're just gonna have to trust me that this looks like them!

 See, sometimes it's good to have a comic book artist as an old friend!
