It’s been fun revisiting some old pieces while I’m busy with new work I can’t share yet.

Today we’re looking back on some fun I’ve had colouring @colemancomicart.bsky.social ! A fun fact, Ruairí is the reason I am making comics today. One of my most frequent collaborators and favourite people!

Revisiting some more older work again because I can’t share any of my current work, today we’re looking at some stuff by the great @maxdunbar.bsky.social I loved doing.

Dunbar’s fantasy work and character design really is on its own plane of existence. I’m always in awe of him.

Unfortunately I have had to go back to posting on Instagram again… as much as I hate their AI policies, I kind of have no choice from a business perspective.

I will still be keeping up with here and Cara too.. hopefully things don’t get bad enough that I have to go back to Twitter 😂😂

I grew up reading the ‘90’s X-men.. so I really wanted to do this. To add to the ‘90’s vibes, I used Julie Bell and Boris Vallejo’s fleer cards from the ‘94 for some inspiration…

Been a while, so here’s a recent cover I inked over @skootsart.bsky.social pencils for a book called Halloween Reborn. Got a few more covers in the can just waiting to be shared.
