I got this in the post today. My cover artwork, some terrific new strips by the likes of Steve White & David Roach & some really fun classic British strips.

Thanks Shane, not sure how much my artwork had anything to do with it winning though.

It would appear that 'Bruce Dickinson's The Mandrake Project' comic that I worked on alongside Tony Lee & Bruce Dickinson himself has won the Best Collection award in the Tripwire Awards 2025. Pretty cool.

Every time Staz drops one of these drawings I think "oh man! someone should hire Staz for a [character] series!"

If I was in charge Staz would have to be chained to his desk.

Not in a kink way.

Too kind Lee.... not the chaining to my desk part though, yikes.

Recommended to me by @marclaming.bsky.social a few years ago this movie has become a staple of my 'run up to Christmas' viewing. So here we go again.

It would have been Boris Karloff's birthday today. I think this was the first I drew him as Frankenstein's monster, back in 2010 , for some kind of charity sketch cards, if remember correctly.

I have argued that this live action Batman is the most accurate version of the comics, given that it was based on those light hearted (mostly) Dick Sprang drawn stories of the 1950's & early 1960's. Also, it has the BEST Batmobile.. hands down.
