Have you tried to guess who I am from the saloon revellers? A correct guess could win you a copy of NBC#3 with an inside cover sketch by me. (no clues though) Competition here.

Spent a few days struggling with drawing (also doing copious thumbnails) Then spent the last hour on this.

SPIRIT OF HOPE

Jimmy Broxton's Cover

Last month I posted very briefly about The Comic Book Alliance' "The Spirit of Hope" project I have taken part in. A grand project put together in record time I guess considering number of artists and writers and the fact it should be rolling out at the printers sometime next week. (Only having 2 pages for me to do helped their timetable no end i'm sure)

In The CBA's own words

"The Spirit of Hope is a unique anthology of short stories from the world’s greatest creators dealing with the impact of disasters on people’s everyday lives. Creators include Liam Sharp, Henry Flint, Nick Abadzis, Glenn Dakin, Mark Buckingham, Al Davison and Peter Hogan with stories covering all aspects of human life in the face of catastrophe. The collection comes in two editions – one with a beautiful Jimmy Broxton cover and a second with a cool Michael Allred cover. All profit from the title will go to help disaster victims via Second Harvest and the New Zealand Red Cross."

Mick McMahon Week

What a week I have had. At last weeks 2D festival, Rob Davis passed on some of my comics to the legendary Mick McMahon, who, as it turned out, enjoyed them! (Hooray! #1) A couple of days later (tipped off by Rob) Mick McMahon starts a blog where he is posting work, unseen work and projects in progress (Hooray! #2) Then yesterday, I made a rare visit to a pub in town and met him for a few beers! He is such a splendid fellow and I hope i managed to contain my fan awe and not make a tit of myself. (fingers crossed)



Mick McMahon and Ben Dickson's Kestrels, in the making.

Break Time

Been pencilling today so pens out for a change of scenery. Had a new go at Hunch Parsons of the Crash City Police Department. No, I don't know either.

Back to pencils.
