Stan Lee's Superhero Kindergarten

Growing up a comic book & movie fan, I don't have words to describe how happy/overjoyed I was to get to work on a project with two of my childhood/adult heroes. Stan Lee and Arnold Schwarzenegger. I come from a very small town in Ireland. And I got to work on a show from two of my heroes all from the comfort of my small town studio. It is madness. I even got to draw a young hero with 'spider' type powers :) 

Unfortunately this was the great Stan Lee's final production before his passing but that makes it all the more special to me.

Jumpsuit Johnson: Hard Charges

I am delighted to officially release my new book Jumpsuit Johnson: Hard Charges. It is the first volume in a 3 volume arch. This book is very much a love letter to buddy cop action comedy's of the 90's. But it is set in my hometown of Carlow, Ireland. It features many friends and places where I grew up.

If you fancy picking up a copy, please head over to RogueComicsIreland.

Nova Unleashed

They say "if you want something, you put it out into the universe". Well here I am again putting these things out into the universe. I have drawn this guy more than I draw most people. Except for maybe Spider-Man or the characters of Ocean City. One day I will get to do something official. Until then, here is another sample cover for your lovely eyes.

Butts in Seats: The Tony Schiavone Story

I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to work on a chapter for the very popular Graphic Novel "Butts in Seats: The Tony Schiavone Story" by Dirk Manning &Tony Schiavone. 
Published by Source Point Press.

I have worked with Dirk and with Source Point a few times now and it has been great getting to create worlds and covers for their books. 

Here are some pages from Butts in Seats.

JG and the BC Kids

Here is the featured film poster that myself and Morgan O'Brien created for the upcoming Animated Feature film JG and the BC Kids. I worked on the film and a Design Supervisor lending a hand to all areas of the production that I could. These areas included animation, character designs, background painting and poster design/illustration. I can't wait to see it in cinemas soon.

Sam Vs Sam (Nova Vs Cannonball)

Nova is one of my favourite characters to draw. I enjoyed the series of both Richard Rider and Sam Alexander. But Sam was my first experience of Nova, so he is who I associate with the character of Nova. 

I have been drawing a lot of Nova and Champion covers lately. So I decided to do a little short story for my portfolio with two very talented people. Rob Jones on letters and Gillian Dempsey on Editor duty.

Nova and Cannonball, or as I call it Sam vs Sam.

Optimus Primal

In 2007 I was sat in a box room and while I watched the first live action Transformers film, I told myself that I would work on Transformers 1 day. Well many, many years and many comic book covers later. I can finally say that I have worked on Transformers. Thank you to Jazmine Joyner for selecting me for the project. I am delighted to show this off.
