These are a couple of Brush & Ink sketches that I drew last year for the Manchester Comix Collective site. They're a nice buncha' guys and hold a Drink 'n' Draw meet at the end of the month on a Sunday.
Occasionally, I'll try to draw from a photo to improve my concentration, or something like that. This is from an old Frank Sutcliffe photograph that I bought from a trip to Whitby years ago. Marker pen on cartridge paper.
This is the first comic strip that I did for the legendary UK Comix Publisher, Knockabout. I was 18 or 19 and still at college. It probably shows... But people liked it anyway (Except for my tutors who thought comics were a waste of time. What the hell did they know?.) Rotring Pens, Brush and ink with letratones (Remember those?) on BIG sheets of Daler Illustration Board.
Not a Moleskine, but great for markers & roughs & colour comps. Heaton Cooper have a Gallery and an Art Supply store at Grasmere, in the Lake District (Just round the corner from where Wordsworth used to hang out)
A print of an ink & watercolour cartoon done for the "Arms and Disarmament" theme exhibition of Italy's prestigious international political cartoon show. Don't know why they made a black & white print of it. Apparently, this was the visitors favourite. The Grim Reaper is always a safe bet...
I know you must be asking. Here's the cover for an unpublished comic from the 90's that I wrote and drew. This is a copy pasted into an old sketchbook (The original art is around here somewhere...) It was a good idea at the time. And all the other Blog names I thought of were taken, so here we are!
