I have no idea who has said what but thank you to you and to all the sudden new followers. I will do my best to make it worth your while and will be going back to full time art stuff in the coming months. Meanwhile, here’s some of what I do…
Colours on the Alien and Predator pieces by Simon Gough!

Xenovember day 21! Getting near the tail end, but this is the coloured (by @simongough2099.bsky.social ) version of one I posted earlier, in tribute to Mike Mignola's iconic Aliens vs Predator cover art from the orgiinal Dark Horse comics.

This is one of my favourite panels from Aliens: Defiance. Few things are as fun as #drawing as #xenomorph infestation.

Xenovember day 19! There's a bit of a story behind this one, because it's pretty much where my whole career took a very solid turning point. Hit the link if you're keen to read, but if not, this is the piece that started it all...

Bit late today, but feeling absolutely rat-shit and been sleeping most of the day.
Xenovember day 18! Queens are rad to draw. They don't make a tonne of sense to me, but they're rad, and still one of the best special effects put to screen.

Resurrection is... not great. Love the idea. Don't love the execution. Romulus is essentially a more "ALIEN" Resurrection and I love it because of that, but I do admire the swings Resurrection took. Like this ugly thing.

Xenovember Day 16 (I think - I dunno, sleep and time have become an abstract concept to me now).
This was the second cover I did for @darkhorse.com's #Aliens : Resistance, once again with #color #art by Dan Jackson.

Xenovember Day 15! Had some pretty great news from editors over the weekend (will share when I can) and I'm on a roll on Event Horizon #5, so I'm keeping this one brief!
This is one of my favourite panels from Aliens: Defiance #6 (I think). More at the link below:

Guys, I'm like... one of the eight dipshits that actually likes playing CoD games for the campaign (I've NEVER fucking played the multi). What's the word on the BLOPS 7 story? Or should I just line up BLOPS 6 which I haven't played yet(because I dug Cold War)?
