dracula
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.

Just a quick reminder that the sketchbbooks are just about running out. 32 pages of sketchpages, drawings and stuff with an original Springheeled Jack sketch on the cover of each one, with a preview of SHJ 3--- signed and numbered to 50 only. These are £8 including UK postage.
Just completed a Constantine triptych statue drawing,image will be posted soon. I've just started work on a kind of epilogue SHJ story, which I am hoping will also be available at Bristol--its rapidily approaching again innit?.

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.

Batman Commission
This gothic-looking Batman was produced as a commision recently. I'm particuarly pleased with the detail on the building, and the moon in this peice.

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!

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
Dave

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.
all the best
Dave
