Here's a recent Dracula v Helsing commission, I was very pleased with the finished result, although it did take some considerable time to get likenesses that I was pleased with.

holmes
A Sherlock Holmes fan from the US commissioned me to produce a Holmes V Dracula illustration, after many compositions I finally decided it looked better to indicate Drac's presence---just about to snuff out all available light.

Festive greetings once again!
Hope you all had a great christmas break...just letting you all know that I've posted a few items on ebay. An HELLBOY original pin-up (which Mike Conroy saw at Bristol and has since passed on to Mike Mignola himself--fingers crossed it may appear in a future Hellboy/BPRD comic. I have a Springheeled Jack cover which will be used on an upcoming issue of REDEYE (which will have an interview with myself in it too). The sketchbooks are £8 plus P+P if purchased directly from me (if you reside in the UK).
So if any of you have got 'Christmas money' burning a hole in your pocket you know where to spend it;) Anyway that's all for now and I'd like to wish you all a very Happy New Year, all the best for 2005!

Ho Ho Ho and all that stuff
Hello again everyone, here's one of my irregular missives for you. Although I've not been productive for the past few months I've still had a few irons in the fire. I did a Demon drawing in Jack Kirby stylee for an Italian KIRBY TRIBUTE book which was released recently, unfortunately I only have the one copy---I can't read Italian of course, but its great to be in the company of folk like Jose Ladronn, Steve Rude, Mike Allred and Gary Spencer Millidge. Speaking of which I am scheduled to do a short story for an upcoming Strangehaven special, currently in the rough stages. Hopefully more on that next time.
The sketchbooks I mentioned last time are going well, it has an original sketch and 6 page preview of SHJ issue 3 (which I am halfway through lettering) hopefully it will be printed before the Bristol show. I did a HELLBOY pin-up which Mike Conroy has passed onto Mike Mignola, hopefully it may show up in an upcoming Hellboy/BPRD comic (this original is for sale at £80) I can send a scan to anyone interested. In between I'm doing some commission work, again all this stuff can be seen in the sketchbook.
All that remains now is for me to wish everyone a happy christmas and a great new year, and thanks for the support.
all the best

Hi there one and all
Last week I attended the ComicExpo at Bristol, and although the punters seemed thin on the ground I had a great time. Signing the prestige format Whitechapel Freak along with Simon Bisley who was signing Full Cirkle and WF. There were some great artists there including Mike Noble, John Burns and legend who is Mike Ploog (his sketchbook work was superb), a great time was had by all.
Talking of sketchbooks...I spent days beforehand producing individually painted drawings to stick on the cover of each SKETCHBOOK (which include a six page sneak preview of SHJ3!! no less). This time there are only 50 copies, signed and numbered (with a Springheeled Jack sketch). The A5 book features SHJ pages, sketches from limited SHJ comics and other stuff, including commissions---the third sketchbook is available on a first come, first served basis @£8 each including p+p (UK). Email me for any more details.

Hiya Gang
I've been prompted to blog by my old buddy Graeme Reid, every now and again I get prodded with a big stick and here I am! I've been a bit slack just lately, after finishing SHJ3 last month, artwork only, I thought I'd give myself a break for a few weeks. I've done a few commisions and other odds and sods, hopefully I'll get some kind of 'zero' issue done as a preview to SHJ3. Coming up in the next few weeks is the London Comic Show, which I'll be attending with Carl Critchlow, so look out for the Critch'n Hitch stand;) It should be a good show, and then there's the Jonathan Ross/Grant Morrison interview which I'm looking forward to..hope they turn up!
And a week or so after that there's the ComicExpo in Bristol, where I'll be signing the new version of Whitechapel Freak on Reed Comics's table, alongside Simon Bisley----how cool???
anyhow snuff from me, time for bed

Hello everyone, the Ol'Boar here for another little missive...
It was a full week last week, SHJ2 had just reached the US shores, even though it was shipped to Diamond's warehouse here in the UK about two months ago. I had loads of mails from readers in the US, so thanks for that (its always great to get feedback), and I guess it must be going down quite well over there. I had loads of requests for re-stocks of issue one too. Sadly the first issue sold out some time ago, but I do have a three LIMITED (1 t0 10) original painted sketch editions available. These are $40(via paypal) and available on a first come, first served basis. I can send a jpg of the comic and original art (as an idea of what to expect) to any interested parties.
I did a further two pages of SHJ3 at the weekend --yay. It's tough getting back to drawing after having time out.
STOP PRESS++++If you want to pick up some original art, and have the money go to charity---check out my victorian Hellblazer on ebay NOW. Adrian Brown's Just1Page project is self published with ALL the proceeds going to a very worthy cause, and all art auctioned is printed in a special magazine (which you also get FREE, worth $9) with your booty! Get on there and BID now;) ++++++++
Well that's about it for this week, apart from this little gem---I've been asked to attend the Bristol show in November on Simon Reed's stand----to promote the newly colourised WHITECHAPEL FREAK, alongside Simon Bisley! How could I refuse!
cheers
Dave

Greetings one and all
I've been away from the drawing board for a week or so, and its liable to be a few more before I get back in the swing of things. I'm stuck with the last seven of so pages of SHJ 3 and I really want it to end with a bang, just can't make my mind up how it should go. After its all done I may even reprint as a smaller format gn. Not sure whether you are all aware but it will be reprinted in glorious colour next year, by the same publishing company that has already printed WHITECHAPEL FREAK (www.reedcomics.com). The aforementioned comic is a one shot prestige format reprinting of the original tabloid edition, from a few years ago. Featuring superb atmospheric computer colour by Phillipe Gaulier (who is currently working on texture designs for the Captain Scarlet CGI film) and a great cover by painting supremo SIMON BISLEY.
If you head on over to Reed Comics tell 'em I sent ya ;)
That's it for now kids

Good day everyone... here's another one of my somewhat irregular postings. This time to let everyone know that the commissons section has been updated with a few recent pics, so if you did'nt catch it on your browse check it out before you leave the site;)
Also I've just produced an illustration for an Italian-produced JACK KIRBY tribute book, which will hopefully be out by the end of the year. I'm in good company, as there are many great industry pros featured, so I feel honoured to be amongst them.
Done a few more pages for SHJ issue 3, on page 22 now.
That's me done, blogging off now---thanks for looking!

Black Boar Greetings one and all!
Just a fairly short one to let you know what's been on my drawing board recently...I've just finished a five page Hercules story for AccentUKs TWELVE (a great anthology title based on the 12 labours of Hercules). Also I have just completed a 'Victorian Terminator' commission, and what fun that was to do!:).
I'm about to start selling the odd thing on ebay. I have an original cover painting for SHJ#3 which I may put up soon. If you want original art, or even a commission PLEASE EM-MAIL and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
If you are a retailer I am thinking of selling BULK order (80 numbered SHJ~2 editions per box) box. Please email me for further details. Diamond could not fill their orders on Issue One, so jump the shipping order list NOW!!!!
Speaking of the sold-out SPRINGHEELED JACK #1 I have a few copies left, which I am selling along with an original painted sketch @£15 each. Signed and Numbered One to Ten only--- and then they are well and truly gone (in fact I purchased those issues back from a local comic shop who racked them in an obscure position)
anyway, that's about it for now,
talk again soon.
