Agent Provocateur: New World Order.

During the summer of last year I received a call from an editor & old pal of mine Brady Webb, asking me if I'd be interested in working on a comic strip series for the cutting edge lingerie manufacturer & retailer, AGENT PROVOCATEUR. Brady laid out the basic premise, that this was to be a story told in four parts, which was to run in the company's four seasonal catalogues over the subsequent 12 months. Despite my initial concerns that it seemed like I would be squeezing a lot of additional work into an already tight schedule, I decided that it was too good an opportunity to turn down, & hey, you only live once.. right.

The story revolved around a squad of female 'superheroes', each of whom wore various AP outfits as their superhero costumes.

I'll not go into the story in too much depth, basically because after completeing the artwork for the first part of it, I decided that it would be best if I pulled out. Some of the minor problems that I had foreseen prior to starting the gig, had started to manifest, & in even more significant ways than I had suspected. So I never saw the whole story, & the artist which followed me didn't either, since shortly after the second part was completed, the whole management structure at AP changed, & as I understand it, the project was pulled, & the completed second part was never even published.

Anyway, enough of such matters, this post is supposed to be a major 'art dump'.. so here it is, everything I can find on my computer relating to the project. From the initial 'warm up' sketches, designs for a spaceship, layouts of the pages themselves, the finished art, & the original versions some pages which after completion had to be changed. Hope you enjoy.
