First Blue Willow Egg

I just finished a new painted egg and I'm really pleased with how it came out!

This one is obviously quite different from the mythical creature designs I was doing before, it's based on the Blue Willow china plates. It was a special request and I can't wait to see the look on her face when she sees it!

I've also been working on a set of sketch covers for Dynamic Forces. Some of them will be handed over to Brian and some will be put up for sale at Stormwatch Comics. Take a look:

I should be receiving a bunch of X-Men blanks by the end of the week, so expect some lovely lady mutants in the next batch of comic pin-ups.

Cease & Desist #2:

And in other news, the BBC has found my Doctor Who shirts and has frowned upon them. They will be unavailable for purchase through my Etsy store until this mess is sorted out.

Cloak and Dagger

Just finished the Cloak & Dagger piece I was working on and I'm pleasantly surprised at how it turned out.

Rich Harrington, a fellow illustrator and former teacher of mine, used to say that "Everything looks like the worst thing you've ever done, halfway through" and that's certainly been the case for this image.

I captured Dagger pretty well within the first few minutes, but Cloak continued to look terrible until about halfway through.

Take a look at the animation to see what I mean.
