Hello All

Big news this week is that I have gone ahead with getting a hardback produced!!! Yup, I know I mentioned it sometime back, but I finally bit the bullet and decided to do it after I got a great quote from ALAN MOORE--thanks Alan!;)

Also been thinking about how to jog along this movie idea, or moreover WHO to tout it to. I know that Don Murphy is interested but I know how long these things take in LA LA land. Who reckons KASABIAN would make great Victorian intrumental tunes?? I contacted them via Myspace, still to hear back of course, but it would be great to have them involved----what say you??

If you know anyone who would like to be on my mailing list tell them to drop me a mail and I can build up my address book again. My new mail is black_boar1@yahoo.com

cheers for now

Dave

Hello again everyone----what TWICE in one week??? This post is just to let everyone know my NEW E-MAIL address. Since September 9, 2006 I have not been able to access my old faithful 'Hitchcock_99@yahoo.com' as yahoo messed about with a load of new settings, supposedly to do with security...well, they were so fookin good even I couldn't get access to MY OWN ACCOUNT!!!! I'm real pissed as it has obviously taken my address book and archived mail with it-- can you tell I'm angry yet? I didn't write any of it down on paper, so EVERY CONTACT has gone.

Anyway, a week of desperately updating Windows/browsers etc, I finally gave up and set up a new account, which is: black_boar1@yahoo.com

Could you pass this onto anyone who might need it, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. G'night!

-Dave PS. ZAP ME A MAIL ANYWAY, AND I WILL ADD YOU TO MY NEW MAILING LIST!

Hello again folks, here I am for your yearly update;) I've not been doing that much artwise just lately, there's always something else to take up time nowadays. Apart from the odd commission here and there I've only done a short six-page tale for the Accent UK anthology MONSTERS. It's called LUSCA written by none other than MOORE & REPPION. Original art for that is for sale if any of you have seen the comic.

I've just finished a ten page 'times past' STRANGEHAVEN story, yes Gary asked me if I'd be interested in doing a story for him some time ago now, it's tentatively scheduled to see print in an Italian version of a SH collection.

I'm thinking of doing a hardback collection of SHJ, mainly to celebrate the EAGLE AWARD WIN for the 3-issue series. The collection will be 120 pages B+W, with the inclusion of the short story 'LAST CHAPTER' (I only did 50 mini-comics of this so chances are you may not have seen it) and a new 6-page INTRO plus an extensive sketch book section. The dilemma I have is that I can't decide to do it myself (with no distribution channels OR go the POD route. Print On Demand apparently allows a book to be listed on Amazon etc, the downside it that I don't have a clue if this approach actually WORKS. Does anyone out there know?

If you reply to this post could you send it to my workd email

dhitchcock@derbytelegraph.co.uk

as I am having problems with my yahoo account.

Adios!

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?.

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!
