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.

Tha webcomics which accompany the Heroes TV show have been collected into a nice hardback package, & the book was released this weekend just gone.

It comes with a choice of two covers, one by Alex Ross & the other curtosy of the pen of Jim Lee.

I was invited onto the BBC recently, to talk about the show, & what it was like to work on the Heroes strips, here's how the piece which appeared on BBC Look North, turned out.

Interview on Transfans.net

As some of you may know, I used to earn a crust drawing the exploits of the Robots In Disguise in the Transformers UK comic. An what with the release of the mega-budget live action Transformers Movie imminent, now seemed a good time to agree to be interviewed about my time on the comic.

Here is the sketch, in b+w & with a bit of a quick Photoshop colour job.

A New Post

Hi people,

It's been way too long since I have posted anything on here... mostly because I havn't had anything worth posting.

Anyway, I still don't have a mass of joyful news to brighten your day, but here's a Conan sketch I did this week while I was waiting for my daughters Tap Dance Class to finish... riveting, eh?

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

To whet your appetite, here's a double page spread from Batman /Aliens II.

HEROES Online Comics

One of the hottestshows on American TV at the moment is the CBS 'what if superheroes were real' show... Heroes.

To accompany the show, & to fill in some of the gaps between episodes, there is an online comic strip.. & I've been doing a few episodes.

The Path Of The Righteous

Family Man

Judge Dredd Megazine

Those of you who read the Judge Dredd Megazine may have noticed I've had a piece on the cover of the latest issue. This was my first cover for any of the 2000AD family, & I was very happy with how it came out.

For those of you who may not be familiar with how thes things are put together, as well as the final colored & printed version' here is the initial sketch, the rough layout, the pencils, & the finished inks

Bristol International Comic Expo

Well, it's that time again... what time?... Convention time of course! First up is the regular jaunt to Bristol, for what is still the premier comics event in the UK. The Bristol International Comic Expo.

This year the show is being held over the weekend of the 12th & 13th of May, & as usual, it will be held in the British Empire & Commonwealth Exhibition Hall & the Ramada Plaza Hotel.

I'll be doing my usual stints of signing & sketching (as has also become tradition, I'll be levvying a small charge for sketches..£5- Headshot[Stormtrooper sample at left], £10- Three quarter shot), plus , if you're there, feel free to come up & say 'Hi' at any point.

Cable & Deadpool #37

My latest work...or more accurately the next thing of mine which will see print, is a fill in on Marvel's Cable & Deadpool, issue #37. Some of you will know that I did a little work on this title last year, on a couple of issues which tied into the whole Civil War storyline. This issue is free of any such constraints & reads as straight ahead comedy... with Deadpool himself reduced to the size of an action figure by The Rhino, but still able to take down a bunch of super-powered misceants in the local super-villains bar.. hey...it could happen LOL.

Presented here are some of the pencils

Transforce Cancelled

Whoa, first post in a while... & it's bad news.

But first of all, let me wish you a (belated) Happy 2007!

Now the sickener...The Transforce event I had hoped to be attending in March which I mentioned here , has been cancelled. Reports I received from the organisers put it down to financial problems. But they do add that they hope Transforce will return if not later in the year, then in 2008. I'll keep you posted.

On a brighter note, hopefully there will be an event in February to celebrate 30 years of 2000AD. Whether this will be a DreddCon I couldn't tell you, but as soon as I have any definite news I'll let you all know.

In the meantime, here's the cover painting I did on a really old issue of Transformers, & a Catwoman marker sketch from a couple of years ago, why?...Why not!
