Staff Sergeant Tom Rabjohn


On October 3, 2009, Staff Sergeant Tom Rabjohn was killed in action when he discovered an Improvised Explosive Device was about to detonate. Tom had moments to act and shielded two other soldiers from the blast.

Tom's friend, Mark Schweikert, a fellow police officer, has organised a memorial appeal to raise money for Tom Rabjohn's family.
I've donated the original pencilled art to the cover of my sketchbook, and a colour print of the finished art. It will go live on EBAY in 2 weeks... I'll post a link as soon as it's live online.

I hope you'll bid generously... it's going towards an extremely good and worthy cause.

Check out Mark's COMIC ART FANS gallery, and you'll see some of the incredible art donated, that will be auctioned off.

Thanks for your support everyone.

TANK GIRL - BAD WIND RISING - Hardcover Collection out NOW!

Our lovely collection of our mini series TANK GIRL - BAD WIND RISING is out now, in a beautiful hardback collection from Titan Books.

I'm enormously proud of this series, and I think it's a beautiful swan song for me leave TANK GIRL on.

I'd like to thank Sofie 'Danger' Dodgson who coloured the series and really went beyond the call of duty, Steve 'De Nada' White my incredibly very patient editor, Lori Petty for always having the keys to the tank, Nicola 'Bang Tidy' Bell for making me smile, and Christian 'Big Daddy' Krank who is always supportive, a great friend, and coloured the other Tankie series.

Also thanks to Nicole 'Super' Powers for her unwavering support and always banging the drum, Alix 'Foxy McFoxilicios' Fox for being bubblier than a crate of shaken champagne, Sarah 'Hattie' Watson for being Tankie on the cover of Issue 3.

Most importantly, I'd like to thank all of you for supporting us, buying our books, turning up at the signings and Cons, and all the lovely mail I've received. You have no idea how much it's appreciated.

I've loved working on TANK GIRL, it's been a blast.

I'm very excited about the new opportunities ahead... working with Vertigo at DC Comics, doing stuff for 2000ad, designing stuff at ThreeA Toys, and working on my own series, SOLID GOLD DEATH MASK!

You can order the hardback on Amazon really cheap...

In the US/CANADA/Worldwide - AMAZON.COM

In the United Kingdom/Europe - AMAZON.CO.UK

Or if you're feeling lucky punk.... SFXiNow are giving away some copies with an embarrassingly easy question.....

Anyhoo.... back to work for me... I've got a tonne of stuff to draw.

Love and Tanks

Rufus

.... Over and Out

BAD WIND RISING cont.

Nearly finished.... drawn in all the characters... and drew a few characters and details on a seperate level, which I'll patch in on Photoshop.

Drew a new arm for Tankie, with her flickin' the V as well. Seemed appropriate.

This one's dedicated to my good friend Brett Ewins, who editted/drew/started DEADLINE magazine, Tankie's first home. Without whom etc...

Love to you Brett. XXX

BAD WIND RISING



Here's a sketch for a Pin Up I'm doing to celebrate the launch of TANK GIRL - BAD WIND RISING in the UK on Jan 27. ( It's already out in the States... so go get it! )

It's a hardback collection, and a book I'm very proud of. I'd like to give extra thanks to my friend Sofie Danger Dodgson for her outstanding colouring and help on the project.

We're getting great reviews... check them out here, here, and here!

You can preorder on AMAZON and save 40%... how's that for a deal?

This is the last series Alan and I will be doing together, so enjoy it while you can, Tank fans!!!

Love and Tanks,

Rufus

Happy 2012!

Well..this account has crawled out of the grave... so I'll try and post up new art, and news about stuff I'm working on..
You're welcome to ask questions, say hello, or send a message.

I've finished working on TANK GIRL for the forseeable future. I've done 6 series... THE GIFTING, VISIONS of BOOGA, SKIDMARKS, THE ROYAL ESCAPE, WE HATE TANK GIRL, and BAD WIND RISING.
I enjoyed all of them, but it's time for fresh challenges.... and happily... I have a whole bunch!

I'm starting work on some stuff for VERTIGO, DC Comics premiere line of books. I'll be a guest artist in THE UNWRITTEN series, and then hopefully move onto other Vertigo projects.

This is a sketch of Mr Bun, the hitman trapped in a rabbit's body, and 'Alice', wearing an unfortunate fox...

I'll also be working on some new 2000ad stuff, which I'm really looking forward to, as 2000ad will always be Alma Mater.

A Psychedelic Judge Dredd sketch...

I'll be posting new art and sketches on my TUMBLR account, so follow me on there!
You can get TANK GIRL prints and original artwork here... ARTDROIDS



I'm available to do commission pieces, and also go to a lot of conventions... I'll start putting up dates soon!
