Dempsey and Makepeace


Still working on spoiler laden Criminal pages, so here's a blast from the past. I drew a six page strip for the Dempsey and Makepeace Annual 1986, based on the short lived TV show. I drew this in my first year at art college, so I was 19 I think. Here's the first couple of pages...

  5. Dzuka, I drew a weekly strip for the local paper when I was twelve, but my first pro work was for a Judy Annual, drawn when I was fifteen. Both are on my website.

    i've been following your work for almost 15 years and i'm fascinated how you're keep getting better and better, although stuff from 15 years ago were already great! you're a big inspiration. keep on truckin'!
