GRIFTER sketch

Why did I offer to sketch in a book with no white pages? Nothing seems to stick to the paper, it took a couple of layers of gouache to even get started.

Old, Old Stuff

Came across a folder of old art this morning. First up, a page I did for the Comic Relief Comic put out by Fleetway in 1991. Mostly put together by Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham, almost everybody in British comics at the time were involved writing and drawing the odd page.
























Next up a self portrait in my first year at art college, 1983. Oils on canvas board.

More Books

Put a load more of my books up for sale on amazon... All include an original sketch.

OOD!

Just back from London where Duncan Fegredo and I met up with the lovely Tommy Lee and Melissa Edwards. It was great to see them all again and we had a great time going to watch Jonathan Ross record his talk show at the BBC. Got to hang out a little afterwards and talk comics. The corridors were lined with some cool props...
