SOCKET!


I found the original of this on Shane Oakleys blog a wonderful example of his art and the skill he has of putting together these solid fiendish lumps of villiany.

The characters name is Socket and it was this beautiful pencil sketch of an Uncle Fester/Frankie Stein type with an enormous lightning bolt on his chest, I couldnt help myself and had to do an EL INDIO remix of it!

Thankfully I got the Dark masters blessing... so my next child wont be born with a club foot!!!! PHEW!

R.I.P John Hicklenton .

I have just been told that John Hicklenton one of the artists involved in the final wave of genius to seethe from the pages of 2000ad back in the late 1980's has passed away at the age of 42 after a long battle with Multiple sclerosis.
He was the subject of a moving documentary shown on More4 last year which came and went with minimal coverage or fanfare from the comics community which I think is pretty poor show really.
I can only dream of conjuring half the madness he was capable of putting onto the page, wherever you are now John I salute you.

The MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.

Im a big fan of certain Newspaper strips, the use of just three panels to convey a joke, an ongoing adventure or something more profound day in day out for decades is a real art and the masters deserve their dues.
Its something I like to dip into every now and again just to sprinkle a little bit of my sickness into the continuum,these one offs go under the moniker of the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE....in this episode we see Dogface and No neck meet God.

SEXY EGGFACE.

Heres a little something I cooked up for my old mate Phil, its called Sexy Eggface and came into being due to one of the many deranged text messages we send one another to keep ourselves sane during the interminable boredom of the working week, His never fail to get my freak on.
Phil has a Spike Milligan style nack for insane names and scenarios (he has, like Milligan, also spent a few periods in the bughouse) which then fly through the ether into my mobile and then onto my brain, at some point I want to put a book together written by Phil and illustrated by me just so his talent for the totally absurd isnt wasted

SEX PISTOL


Way back in the nineties when I was designing flyers for Bound and gagged I put together a line of marital aids to amuse myself.

Here is one of them that I found in the EL INDIO archives...the Sex Pistol.
Im not entirely sure how it works but I have a hankering to draw the character who wields this debauched weapon!

All hail the Teeth of Zac Efron.

Not so much a monster at work as a musing at work about the horrible twists and turns about to beset one of my all time favourite comic characters at the hands of SONY executives...as if they hadnt fucked the mythos enough with Spiderman 3.
I tried channeling the artistic powers of the mighty Breandan McCarthy with this one...and he's not even Dead!

The Eve of the Warmachine.

This is very naughty of me but I just got this in my inbox from young Dave West, a coloured panel from issue 2 of Stephensons Robot that Dave is busy working his way through right now and its a beauty so I thought I would share the wealth!

I have been illustrating for over 30 years, I work as a full time tattooist and a part time freelance illustrator. I have had many of my pieces published by AccentUK and I have been lucky enough to work with some fantastic people such as Andy Bloor and Owen Johnson as well as being offered work by 2000AD.

I only have a small selection on here but I have more pieces available. I have chosen pieces that show a variety of styles and although I am predominantly a 'black ink on paper' kind of guy, I also use programs such as Photoshop and Illustrator to achieve vibrant colours and finishes.

Feel free to contact me and I will answer any questions you have.
