Punishing Dec

Had a brilliant weekend at Aberdeen for a signing in Asylum Books and Games. Eat the biggest steak known to mankind and finally had a Tequila at the basement pub. Over the course of the weekend I did a draw off with Declan. We both had to do a Punisher piece. I like how mine doesnt look like a gay biker with his shoulders wider than the length of his body unlike Dec's piece!!!

New Studio

Its been a real busy month, what with the turn of the year and friends visiting from abroad. Another spanner in the works has been the fact that Iv moved house back to ballycotton for a few months. Just finished setting up the new studio where Ill be buried in until the 1st of April when I head off foreign.
Not a single boat in sight today and I think my mug is scaring the birds but Im well happy with the setup, its the first time I've had a dual monitor set up too and iv wasted about an hour just dragging the mouse between the two screens

Rocket Group Preview Pgs

As Requested





Found this today, I'd been looking for this for a while. Its the first thing I ever Inked and coloured. A joe mad piece that I redrew when I was a wee kid. Which actually now that I remember was the first time i really did anything in Comics format, albeit a redraw

Avenging Richie

So Im about 35 pages into the 160 plus of Richard III.Finished a page pretty quickly today that Im quite happy about so I did a a bit of free time drawing of the Mighty Avengers. Heres a panel from Richard III and the Mighty Avengers Panel

Happy Holidays

Every year myself and Dec do a Superman / Batman piece hoping that it will show that we've improved a little bit over the year. We changed it up this year now that we can draw things with a bit of dynasim

When ever theres a hang up

Whenever Im doing a lot of drawing I usually take a break from the subject matter just to mix it up for a bit. Been banging out the Rich III pages lately with detailed castle interiors so figured id do a Spidey panel just for a breather. really liked how this one turned out.
Right, back to evil ol Richie

Richard the III

Just spotted this on the classical comics website. Really happy with how the colours are coming out.
Theres a 15 page preview up on their website thats to help with the GCSE's at www.classicalcomics.com
Hers one of the pages from that section that Im quite happy with
Never really did a montage page before and had a lot to stick in this one

Shiney new Blog header

The look of my blog needs a total overhaul. My buddy Laura just did a new website and I'm hoping it will give me the kick up the ass that I need to do a new one. Id love to have a lot more of my stuff coloured for it. Apparently Black and white is all the rage these days graphic design wise but Im still one for the over the top comic book colouring style

Another day another Iron Man

I did a pic simular enough to this a few weeks back but it wasnt quite right. Much prefer this one though. Dustin Nguyen was on here the other day commenting on it which kind of inspired me to draw another one. I wish I could say hes an influence but honestly I think I have a long way to go before I can say that, his style is really organic and beautiful and demands a really high skill level that I aint even close to

Jim Lee

Was skyping the Micks last night when Dec brought up an old Bat Family drawing the two of us did a couple of years back. The drawing is based on a Jim Lee rough for a scrapped wraparound Hush Cover.
I love seeing that even at a young age I was already far better than Dec!!


We never actually finished it, theres supposed to be a sprawling background of Gotham city but whatever. Im really looking forward to doing the Jam piece with the Micks actually, theres gonna be a serious fight on our hands to see who gets to keep it.
Speaking of Jim Lee heres the sketch I got of him in Dublin

The Eclectic Micks

Heres a preview pic of one of part of one the sketches I did for the Eclectic Mics Sketchbook which myself, Byrne, Mooney, Thompson, Roche and Shalev are all drawing pieces for. Six pieces each to be exact with a jam piece for the cover

Space Phaaaannnttttttooommmmm

Look at this, two posts in as many days. Trying to get back to the good ol days of a new image every week. Heres a pic form a page in the second issue of Rocket group which should be solicited soon

Richard

I've been ridiculously busy the last little while which is good. Really starting to settle into producing the pages right now though. Already over 20pgs penciled and inked into Richard the III. Finally heres some artwork from it. The Dublin Con was an absolute blast by the way

Birmingham Convention book

Its late and i really should be asleep cz Im flying to the states for a few days in a few hours. This little thing was the highlight of the year for me
