Nearly there...

Wow.

I've been so busy over the past month. Over the past 12 months, actually. Haven't stopped lately.

I thought I'd better update the blog with some of the stuff I've been working on. So here we go. The image above is one of the pages I've (penciled) so far for my book How To Save A Dragon by Annie Dalton, a sequel to Ferris Fleet.

In other news, I saw X-Men: First Class for my birthday on 1st June. What an amazing movie. As soon as I've hit this deadline I'm off to see it again a further 2 times.

I've also started reading Carte Blanche, the new James Bond novel by Jeffery Deaver. I'm quite impressed. It feels like Fleming's world but brought from the 50's to contemporary 2011.

Well. Until next (month?) time!

Mermaid

More from the 'currently working on' section. Thought I'd show m take on a Mermaid. Well. My latest take. I've done some in the past that looked much... naughtier...

Busy Busy Bee...

Hi again.

Late again.

Been so busy lately. It's hard to keep the blogs and stuff up to date. To show 'something' at the very least I thought I'd do as I did last time and share an image from one of the books I'm working on.

This is an image of a cantankerous old 'wizard' who is pretty much an every day old geezer like you'd see sitting at any old bus stop, cafe or bowls court. The main difference being... well. I suppose you'll have to wait for the book to come out.

Catch ya later.

Oops...

Sorry I haven't updated in nearly a month. Been busy cracking on with work and enjoying the joys of spring an a new garden. It really is rather lovely out there.

Well, in the sense of good form, I shall post an image to keep anyone watching sated. This one is from a book I'm currently working on which shall remain hush hush for the time being, save to say it depicts a villain of the piece creeping the hell out of our main character.

Enjoy!

Doctor WTF?!

I wanted to post this cover I recently completed for the anthology, Doctor WTF?!. You can find more details on the facebook page.

Happy Saint David's Day!

Happy Saint David's Day to all my fellow Welsh folk and to everyone else who may want to partake in the one that is not as "cool" as St Patrick's and Robby Burn's, merely because it doesn't involve copious amounts of alcohol and being bastardised by Americans. Ha ha.

And to celebrate, here's a doodle of a (Welsh) dragon.

Kinda.

Now on Facebook

Hi all.

Just a quick note to point out my new facebook page which can be found here. Think of this as an extension of this blog but with less personal output and more just pictures and links.

Memory Lane

Just found something that tickled me on the internet.

I wanted to use my old university building, the North Wales School of Art & Design, as reference for an image I was drawing and found a photo of my work from my time there up on the walls of the corridor.

Very funny.

Hi to New Zealand!

I've been a very busy bee lately, so, as usual, I have neglected my blog. So get something new up I'll post a taster of what I've been working on.

Yeah. The Maori.

On a side note, check out the new trailer to X-Men: First Class that debuted last night. Cool, eh?

Carl!

First of 2011

Brilliant.

I'm now operating from my new office and I've completely moved out of the old paper mill.

I'm nearly set but I am ready and raring to get working from here. Computers set up. Shelves set up. Drawing board. Desks...

Good to go.

I thought my first entry to the blog for 2011 by showing a before and after. To the left is a doodle of the Hulk I did on the back of an envelope. On the right is the same image but coloured in Photoshop.

I had a basic idea of what I wanted to do but ran with it a colour stage.

Keep and eye out for more personal and 'work' stuff coming soon. If I were to make a new-year's resolution, which I don't, then right after "get more exercise" would be "keep on top of your blog this year". Let's hope I can keep that one, eh?

Christmas Card 2010

May I present my 2010 Christmas Card in all it's glory. Now I just need to get it to the printers...
