A few more bits & pieces.

As I said in a recent post, I have started a Tumblr blog. I mentioned at that time that it was my intention to post here on Blogger everything which was also posted over on the Tumblr platform. However, posting everything twice seemed a bit nuts, & way too time consuming, so I have now decided that, for now, I'm going to revert this blog to the role for what it was originally intended... new material, announcements of convention appearances etc, basically, new stuff., & keep the Tumblr page there to dump older art, & other unseen material. If anyone has a particularly strong aversion to Tumblr, but still wants to see that older artwork, let me know & figure out a compromise... maybe a once a month mega-post of whatever has been tumbled.

So for now, & until further notice, here's the last of the posts of the Tumblr material. Stuff from: All Star Western, Usborne's Beginners Plus: Special Forces, & G.I. Combat

More old stuff.

Everything I've worked on recently is covered by one embargo or another (either official, or self imposed), so as a result there's not been anything I can post. To stop this blog grinding to a complete halt, here's some scans of old pencils that I had on my hard drive. When I say 'old' I mean scarily old.. as in over a decade old... jeez.

Iceberg Art Dump

Iceberg??? Yep! The body of work that most illustrators produce is like an iceberg, in that the bit most people see (the tip of the iceberg) is only a minor part of what actually gets done. To put it simply, that core goal of this blog from day one was to show that portion of the iceberg which usually stays below the water line.

So presented here, is a bunch of stuff I found in a box kicking around my studio. I almost never throw any sketches & prep work away, but by the same token, I don't keep it all nice & neat & in some kind of order.. they just get thrown in a drawer, or a box or something. So in this particular box was sketches from work I did fairly recently, alongside material from almost 30 year ago.It's presented here without individual explanations, if anyone sees something that they'd like to know more about, then ask in the comments section & I'll do my best to answer. Not that I'm expecting too many questions judging by the pitifully few comments this blog attracts on the whole.. ya bunch of ingrates!!.

Here's the art..
