World Famous Nightwing

I am always trying to improve on my artwork. From concept all the way through to execution and final render. Sometimes I don't quite hit the mark or stick the landing on what my initial idea was but there is always something to be learned from doing the work. That's an aspect I really like about art. 
Mistakes often bare fruit. Such is the case with my latest "World Famous Nightwing" cover.

I love this guy and I really hope I get to do something with him officially in the future.

Valiant Beyond

So I have been very lucky lately to get to work on some incredible books and covers for Valiant and Alien Books. I have been reading these comics since I was a kid and to finally get to do some work on them has been amazing. The great Harbinger team plus the ever deadly and exciting XO-Manowar.

Please check them out below.

Sinners

I went to see the movie Sinners recently and absolutely loved it. It reminded me of so many excellent films from the 90's in all the best ways. With a big box office cast, the film still felt small and intimate. Then all at once the mystical elements came to light and brought even more fun into the mix.

Here is a little look at the process of how I created this Sinners Comic Cover piece.

World Famous Nightwing

Nightwing is always great fun to draw. I love the character and have done a few pieces now with the idea for a story called "World Famous Nightwing". I hope to draw him officially one day.
Until then, please enjoy, another mullet filled piece from the World Famous Nightwing!

Cheers

Thundercats Ho

There isn't a kid alive, that was born in the 80's. That doesn't remember that ICONIC theme tune. 

Even now, looking at this cover I can hear it. I love the Thundercats. I could draw them forever.

I am really enjoying the new series from Declan Shalvey and Drew Moss for Dynamite.

Here is a little sample cover.

Absolute Batman

I love when writers take existing characters and start over with a new story and a new mythology.

Batman will always be Batman. And Batman is cool! But to give him a different story and/or motivations, is always exciting to dive into. I am really enjoying the new run from Scott Synder and Nick Dragotta.

Here is a little process to a fun piece I created after reading the first couple of issues.

Ringo Awards/Superman

I recently went to Baltimore Comic Con for the first time last month. It was my first time at the show. I flew to the show because I was nominated for a Ringo Award in the category of Best Cover Artist at this years Ringo's. I didn't win. I knew I wasn't going to because of who I was up against but it was still an incredible honour to be mentioned in same sentence with such incredible artist. It was a fantastic trip and I am really happy to have had some of the best people in the business look over my Samples and offer constructive feedback.

I feel like I am getting closer to achieving my dream.....

While on the subject of achieving my dreams. I was recently introduced to a fantastic writer who I have followed for quite sometime. Dave Wielgosz. Dave is a fantastic writer and editor and he is killing it on many fantastic titles he has written this year. I have a feeling we will be seeing his name on so many great titles in the coming months. 

I feel very fortunate to have had Dave help me a lot this year. He has allowed me to work on his stories and has also given feedback to where I can improve on my pages and really look at where/what I should be focusing on in order to reach the next level.

Thank you Dave. I appreciate it mate.

Here are my new comic sample pages for Superman: Viral

Spider-Man 2099: Sample Pages

I went to New York Comic Con for the first time last October. It was a fantastic trip and really opened my eyes to the talent that is out there in comic books. I knew the talent was there but there is a really big difference in knowing vs seeing it first hand. I was over to show off my portfolio pages and was feeling confident about them. Boy was I not ready.

It wasn't a great trip in terms of getting work or even getting my work seen but it was great for meeting new artists. Meeting artists who's work I have loved and even showing my work to artists and getting some feedback.

While on the subject of meeting great people. I was introduced to a fantastic writer who I have followed for quite sometime. Steve Orlando. Steve was an absolute gentleman and writes/releases more books than I ever thought possible. When a new book comes out each week, It is no surprise that he is probably writing it. I call him the busiest man in comics. He is writing some of my favourite books out right now.

Steve has been very generous and allowed me to work from one of his previously released scripts for Spider-Man 209: Exodus. 

So without further delay.

Here are my new comic sample pages for Spider-Man 2099

UFO Robot Grendizer

I have been very fortunate to work on some really cool projects in my time in comics. This is one of those projects. The original anime for Grendizer also know as Goldorak was a bit before my time. But diving back into the lore has been so much fun. I love drawing giant robots and would love to do a series of it one day. I really hope to do more of this character soon. I am also very happy to be working with Titan Comics again too.

Cable

I have never drawn Cable but I have always thought that he was one of the coolest characters I have ever seen. I love Rob Liefeld. I think he is a fantastic champion of comic books and he has created some of the most iconic characters we see today. Deadpool, Cable & Profit but to name a few. 
I have enjoyed seeing Cable back in the magnificent X-Men97 cartoon recently. 

So I got inspired to give him a go. 

Guns, future soldier, super powers and a metal arm. 

What's not to love!!
