MERRY CHRISTMAS!

LEST WE FORGET

Mission Hero was recently launched to inform today's youth  of the bravery and sacrifice of the war heroes of WW2  using imagery with a nod to 70's and early 80's  war comics such as Commando, Victor and Warlord.

Producing these drawings  took me back to my childhood, as many a day drifted by reading such comics.

And yes, I played with action man toys.

SUSANNA HOFFS NAKED!!!

One of the segments for the soon to broadcast BBC programme, I'M IN A GIRL BAND, required I draw Susanna Hoffs of 80's band, The Bangles, naked. I won't be posting it here though, you'll have to watch the show . I'll post updates of broadcasts on this blog, so stay tuned.

In the meantime here is a head shot detail of a more complete drawing that will appear in the  show.

These drawings are being animated by Sumners who also commissioned me to produce the drawings for I'M IN A ROCK 'N' ROLL BAND, for which they won an RTS award (Royal Television Society).

I have decided to sell most of the drawing produced for I'M IN A ROCK 'N' ROLL BAND and I will post details of when and how they can be purchased in a later blog.

DETAIL OF SKETCH FOR NEW BOOK

Here's a detail of a sketch for a book I have recently completed that will hit the shelves in March 2012.

It's the centaur from The Golden Voyage Of Sindbad, one of my fave films as a kid.

I loved Ray Harryhausen's creations. The guy was a big inspiration and maybe I wouldn't be drawing  today if it weren't for his and other artist's(such as Jack Kirby and Dick Sprang) work.
Here's the cover
