Hi Everyone,

There are some real rareities in my ebay sale this week. Firstly, there are some of the double page spreads from the Batman Aliens II book I drew a few years ago, from even further back (1990-ish) there are two cover paintings from the old Marvel UK Transformers comic & from sometime in the mid 90's there is a Robin pin-up collaboration between myself & the late (& sadly missed) Mike Wieringo.

Dracula Update.

It's been a while since I posted any new art on here... what with all the Ebay nonsense an' all, so here's a quick update of the Dracula adaptation. This is the scene when Jonothan Harker sees the Count scaling the Castle walls, & should give you a good idea of how Dracula himself appears in this version. Hope you guys like it.

Transformers UK: Artwork Preview.

I recently made a return to the stamping ground where mycareer in comics pretty much started. That is to say, I briefly went back to drawing The Robots In Disguise. As you may probably know, the Autobots & Decepticons are much changed since I last drew them in 1990, (much due to the mega-budget live action movie... a hugely enjoyable film it is too,) & as such, they are a complete pain to draw (an explosion in a scrap yard, was how they appeared to me at first) but I am pleased with the finished result.

Anyway, here's a few of the pages. The finished strip is a 10 page story, which has beeen 'digitally inked' & colored, & will appear in issue #8 of the Titan published comic-magazine Transformers. The story's main robot character is Ironhide... who has changed a lot over the years.. when I last drew him, he was a red Transit Van... he's now a mean as f**K looking black 4x4, how times change..

Marvel Artwork on ebay.

This weeks ebay sale, consists of pages from the many titles I've drawn for Marvel Comics over the years. Characters featured include Spider-Man, Doc Octopus, Captain America, Iron Man, The Avengers & Cable & Deadpool.

If you have any questions, contact me here, or via ebay.

Interview on Transfans.net

Original Artwork, For Sale Online.

One of the most often ask questions I receive at shows is.. 'Can I buy your originals online?', & unfortunately, my answer in recent times has been 'No!'

However, that has all changed now. As part of my ComicSpace site, I have galleries of some of the originals I currently have for sale. I will keep the link to the galleries permanently in the list of links in the right hand margin.

Currently there's four galleries (more to be added soon), featuring work from Batman/Aliens II, Spider-Man, Cable & Deadpool & Catwoman.

If you have any questions or if there is a piece you'd like to purchase, email me at staz.johnson@yahoo.com
