The long anticipated DFC is launched in just 23 days. Although our amazing FRONTIER strip doesnt appear at launch we will be having online content to get you in the mood and that will create back story to take you up to Part One.
The whole DFC thing is going to be an amazing UK cultural event and will herald something not seen in British comics for many many moons.

Check out the dfc website and more exciting info at lovereading4kids

See you in there

A new project and a new direction for me. Part one of FRONTIER by Jason Cobley and myself is now complete although you wont see it for a few weeks. A taster above and more info on the Frontier website, the place for all the news about the new comic strip , soon to appear in the DFC.
Frontier is a story based on the recently discovered diaries of Daisy Adams from 1866. Its WEIRD, it’s WILD and it all happened out WEST.
Dont miss it. More soon

Ok. So it goes like this.

On this blog (and I have far too many of these things) I am going to post news about my work in comics, games etc and over on Blogger I will post all sorts of general stuff and nonsense.

So what’s going on workwise? Well not a lot with Transformers at the moment. No big bots in my life (other than my own!). The Games work is going great guns. Concept work for NiK NaK on the Wii games we are making based on the Ologyworld books. First up from those will be Dragonology. Pretty much all the concept work on that is done. The latter stages needed help as I was overloaded with concept work on Wizardology so we drafted in the services of David Millgate. His background in comics made him perfect for the job and he a thoroughly all round decent chap, which always makes life easier

Other work at the moment is the very nicely progressing, Frontier with writer Jason Cobley. Great to be doing a western (with a difference). Check out all the breaking news on that one at the Frontier blog. I will be putting up posts about how the art is progressing and the techniques I am using (coz it’s a little different). More news about the release date of that one soon.

In case you haven’t heard Draw the World Together are producing a sketchbook of City of Heroes characters. All the breaking news on that one on the DtWT site. This is going to be a very limited run so if you want one ya better get in quick. They will be on sale at the Comicexpo in Bristol in May.
Also for sale will be some Transformers toys. With a difference Each toy will have at least one exclusive ’sketchcard’ included. These will be original sketches by Transformers artists. Nick Roche and Klaus Scherwinski are doing the cards. Oh and there are a few by me, and there was me saying I wasn’t drawing Transformers anymore

More soon

Just to make my life easy (always a good thing) I am now going to be blogging from Blogger rather than here at WordPress. Nothing wrong with here and it works well as a portfolio site but Blogger is, well, easier.

Check it out and see ya soon

The previously mentioned new project that is being put together by myself and writer colleague, Jason Cobley is now underway. Just to whet your appetite here is the first character design sketch. Full colour art is being done and you can see more of this stuff as it happens over on the brand new Frontier Blog.
See ya there

Stand by for an announcement.

If you want to take a look at the NCsoft video of the goings on at Memorabilia 2007 where Mike Collins, Jamie Sims, Neil Edwards, Kat Nicholson and myself all sketched to raise money for charity just click the pic below.

Wot? Like a Graphic Novel?
No. Some of you may know that I play in a band called Cooper Black. Well, after much using up of spare time we have finally produced an album and have a launch gig coming up.
For news of the gig take a look at the Cooper Black website.
If you want a free listen to the album click HERE. Copies can be ordered through me. Just drop me a line
