Project Luna 1947

The cover is below. It’s been a HUGE project to undertake – pencilling, inking, colouring AND lettering a whole book! It’s been a great learning experience though – before I started I had no clue how to properly letter a comic page. My colouring has come on in huge leaps during this experience as well… my shiny new Wacom Intuos 4 tablet has been a big help too.

I will put up some new pages in the Comic Art gallery soon…

Work Work Work!

The slow but steady progression of our graphic novel Project Luna: 1947 continues; page 57 (of 88) is almost in the bag! This one has been a labour of love, I just wish I could devote more time to it each week… but it’s looking good, preeeetty, preetttty good (in best Larry David voice).

I’ve just picked up the BPRD Hell on Earth: New World book, and it’s fantastic, as ever. I don’t know how I managed it, but I remained completely spoiler-free and read the whole thing in one go last night. Guy Davis is a master of the craft, and will be missed on this book – can’t wait to see what he does next.

Plug time: If you haven’t already, please check out my friend Marc Jackson’s crazy online comic, Man From Space - just click the planet to start the adventure! You can also join the Man From Space Facebook group (you may need to sign in to Facebook to view). We meet up semi-regularly for Comics & Eggs Friday - where we discuss comics and eat eggs. On a Friday.

I’m always on the lookout for new work, so feel free to contact me if you’re interested in talking to me about a project, or if you’d like to commission some artwork. I was pretty poor at updating my old blog, but with this new one integrated into my site I will make updating a much more regular thing (honest).

I’m continuing my work with writer Martin Hayes on the graphic novel Project Luna: 1947, which will be published by Markosia as soon as it’s finished. I’m also still working on my monthly strip for the football magazine KiCK! as well as a series of strips for Autodata. You can see examples of all of these projects in my galleries.

Special thanks go to Sharon for all her expert help in setting up this new site!
