I painted this Arcade a few years back (and touched it up last year) for @factoryno1bristol and it’s still one of my favourite things I’ve painted.

I might be back soon to add a bit more (not in the arcade).

Hope you like it.

Concept sketching a blank cover sketch I have to do for a Back to the Future comic.

This is my first time using @sharpiepen for colouring.

I had 15 years of working with Posca and so had no need to try out any other products. What colouring pens/ drawings pens do you guys use?

It’s nice to be drawing The Trash Pandas again.

I did promise their own comic, featuring these guys vs AI… and it’s coming! Don’t worry.

Colouring the cover of Issue 3 of @monster_mechas

I’m working with the amazingly talented comic writer and Star Wars author Cavan Scott to create a fake 80s toy line and all the history that went with it.

Cav has a newsletter where you can read all about it…

Not another ‘inking’ one of my comic page videos. Yep. Another!

This is another one of the additional four pages going in to the Directors Cut of Issue 1 of After the Robot Apocalypse, which will also be recoloured by the amazing CF Lum and have a brand new cover.

Can’t wait to show this off.
