Hello yet again

These posts are getting far too regular:) Last week I made contact with a fantastic comic shop called ORBITAL COMICS in London, they were having a James Jean signing, I asked if I could pre-order a book and get it signed as I couldn't get there. They were really good and not only did I get it signed but a got a sketch in there to boot...that made my day.
Anyway, I scanned their website and noticed that they have loads of art exhibitions and signings all the time----what? A comic shop actually interested in the medium? Wanting to promote it to the masses? Willing to help and make sure the buyer has a great experience...that's new to me. I then saw that they were running an exhibition of original art for a charity, I contacted them and did the above postcard.

Hi Folks Here's another Batman commission, the chap asked for a graveyard scene with Bats at his parents grave, but when I actually got to the headstone a little lightbulb lit up...wouldn't it be cool to put his creator's name there instead?

Here's a few bats and bobs from recent weeks. The bare-knuckle fight page was done on Saturday, a few days before I saw on the news that some seven foot tall russian chap was to defend his heavyweight title at the weekend...he looked a real bruiser to be sure, I swiped his features for this victorian boxer(who never loses) and then found out that the Russian was beaten! Moral of the story is never judge a book by its cover:)

Big thanks to everyone who took time out to comment on my last post, it's all really appreciated. Unfortunately I had to take it off due to some possible legal issues. Hopefully, once it's properly finished it will be back. Last week I attended Derby's first-ever comic related event. Liam Sharp was invited to do a talk about his career in comics, spanning from his work with the legend Don Lawrence, to his most recent-top secret- work (which will have us all salivating for more)

So stoked by this highly unusual comics event I wrote a small article which can be viewed on the link below.

Not only was I amazed that Quad (the arts centre that hosted the great event) were actually doing something about COMICS....but, the fact that there was a lovely couple there who were fans of mine:) finished the night off well. It's a small world
