Autumn

"Autumn" created in Manga Studio

Since Autumn appears to have arrived in London I thought I'd post a recent image I created for a self promotional postcard that I sent out a few weeks ago.

Post Modern

Panel art from "The Ballad of Frank Sartre", Manga Studio and Photoshop

Yep, a comic book character reading a comic book that we're about tell the story of within our comic book. It's all getting a bit... arty.

Have a great week!

Rome

"Statue", ink on paper

"Rome, Northern Suburbs", ink on paper

"Colosseum Arch", ink on paper

I'm not much of a location sketcher but as an artist you can't really go to Rome and not do some drawing!

Have a great week!

Lights, Camera, Action

Panel detail from "The Ballad of Frank Sartre", linework in Manga Studio, colour in Photoshop

I'm busily preparing the sets, sewing costumes and casting extras. More news on this project soon.

Have a great week!

Eagle T Shirt Design

"Eagle" Shirt design, Line art created in Manga Studio

This illustration is the centre piece for a T shirt design for a character to wear in a comic book that I'm working on. It'll probably only ever been seen about 2 cm square. I guess I got a bit carried away with it!

Have a great week!

Live Better

"Live Better", artwork created in Manga Studio

This is illustration was commissioned by BBC Focus Magazine to accompany an article on improving your day to day life using simple scientific principles. As an extremely unscientific man I found this very helpful indeed. Check it out in the current issue.

Have a great week!

I have this piece in this year's AOI Images, the Best of British Contemporary Illustration, book and exhibition which opens to the public tomorrow (8th – 14th September). All the info can be found here. It's a great show and it's free so please go check it out! Oh, it also travels all over the UK over the coming months so you don't even need to come to London.

promotional artwork and up-and-coming new talent.
