New art I'm working on for a promo piece.. Gotta get it coloured tonight...
Art's on 2 layers...
Tg, and Background... so I can manipulate balance and contrast more.

Well pleased to see some enterprising souls played our board game in this month's Megazine issue..I'd suggest turning it into a drinking game..
Slainte!

Alan and I will be doing an Interview with our friends at BIZARRE magazine soon..so just doing some doodles..
I was listening to XTC.. and dressed TG accordingly.
Sgt Rock being one of my favourite songs, and comics.. Joe Kubert is such a huge influence.. in both his art, work ethic, and just as a gentleman.. He embodies all I love about others.
My Dad used to buy me Sgt Rock comics when I was little.. I remember him buying some from a PX in Tokyo..I was so happy. Thanks Dad. x x x
Right...enough gushing..I'd better get back to work..
Move out Easy Co. ..There's a war on!

If you have even a remote interest in freedom of speech, self-expression...
... Art, or dare I say it, Comics, then you need to be aware of a very serious and dangerous act that is being pushed through Parliament. More information here: http://www.comicshopvoice.co.uk/index%2002.htm
The Criminal Justice & Immigration Act 2008 came in to effect in January 2009, and Section 49 of the Coroners and Justice Bill is currently being reviewed. Both of these Acts could impact on the creation of comic books and how they are sold, both have the potential to land innocent people in court, on the sex offender register or in jail. We ask that the PM and the government as a whole respect the concerns of artists, writers, publishers, readers and retailers all over the UK and include a specific clarification in the law that ensures that no innocent comic creators or owners of comics can ever be prosecuted unfairly by a mis interpretation of the current laws.
These laws actually extend to ANY form of image making (paintings, sketches, doodles, etc) and not just the comics media, so EVERYBODY will be effected by it. Basically the government wants to legislate that any DRAWING they deem "inappropriate" is tantamount to the same laws as a photography, thus preventing you or I from DRAWING certain things. If ever there were "thought crime" laws, these are it!
Please sign the petition below.
http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/Protect-Comics/
Please pass this on to as many people as possible. Any of you who are in the press and media please write articles about this and highlight the dangers. We need to educate the public! If we don't stop this now we will have thrown away a huge freedom of expression. This is the thin end of an enormous wedge. The consequences of which could ultimately be a government deciding what is "approved art" and what is banned. Hmmm... sounds a lot like 1930s' Germany to me.
Love and tanks...

A huge thank you to all who came down to the big Forbidden Planet signing. It was a huge success!
We were joined by special guest Brendan McCarthy, one of my childhood heroes!
L to R... Brendan watching me ruin a perfectly good book.. in BG, Henry Flint (Artist) and David Bishop (writer)
Alan and I will hopefully be doing another big signing in London later on this year, to coincide with a Tank Girl art exhibition. More news on that closer to the event!
