MARVEL PREMIER

6/17/2014

Now MARVEL PREMIER, That's where it's at. So to be head hunted by UPPER DECK Cards alongside such greats as NEIL ADAMS to produce an Exclusive range of Sketch Cards for their FLEER MARVEL PREMIER Sets was joy.

So when I received the go ahead from UPPER DECK asking if I would like to work for them & do the cards in my style however I want, it brought a smile to my face.

Thsese cards are not like any I have seen before, these are not standard Sketch Cards. Instead they come as whole raft of Cards with Individual Characters names on, Pictures, Bio and stats of that individual Hero or Villian!

There are gate-fold cards, triple gate-fold cards, quadruple cards, I can't wait to show you! No sneak-peaks though, I'm just not allowed!

I LOVE MARVEL COMICS!

MCM LONDON COMIC-CON

5/7/2014

Ok, so now its that time of the year when we are heading into the Big Con. You may wonder which I am referring to, but be in no doubt, with Record breaking attendance at the last show, and over 88,000 people passing through their doors, it is one hell of a Big Show!

In just over 2 weeks I will be there from the 23rd of May until the 25th Sketching my proverbial Butt off. I was going to say 'Ass' but it seemed rather Rude. So I will stick with Butt.

Ok so what's the deal? Well I sketch what you want, whatever that may be. But with numbers of 88,000 and growing, it really is 1st come 1st serve. So this is your chance to jump the queue & Pre-Order. No waiting around, no wondering if I can get it done, Just click & collect, & what could be better than that?

To Pre-Order a Sketch simply go to the COMMISSIONS section of this Website along the Top Bar, Click what you are after & pay by Paypal. It couldn't be easier.

WINTER LFCC REVIEW

10/9/2013

Although the Saturday was slower than I expected, the Sunday seemed to pick up and had a nice flow throughout the day. There was time to chat, draw and have a few giggles with the banter than was on hand.

One of the sketches I did (opposite) was for Mike DX, which featured himself with his favorite Autobot Optimus Prime. What was nice was to see how happy Mike was with his sketch. He actually looked quite taken aback, and proclaimed "Its even better than I could have ever imagined!" Which brought a smile to my face!

Another of the covers I produced was Batman/Superman, (Below) which I really enjoyed doing.

(At some point I am going to have to gather all these cover images together, Gallery Anyone?)

As usual I had the mix of Transformers, Superheros, and a steady request for the Merc with a mouth himself, Deadpool. To see more images of sketches just join in with my twitter/facebook/instagram feeds.

One Awesome Frenzy.... oops Rumble ;)

A taxi ride to New Street. An hour and a half to London via virgin trains. Three stops through the London Underground and then one Overground stop, and still I get there before 9.00! I think I must of had a bit of practice at this.

Early starts and sketching on the train put me in the mindset for the show, now how was this one? For a start We were located in a different part of the show, instead of the central row we were on the far left, which I am sure affected the footfall. Although not as busy as the July show, which is to be expected. The numbers seemed up on what was previously known as EMS.

This did give me a bit more time on the sketches I produced and more time to talk to each person I was sketching for. Which was a nice change of pace for me. Sometimes the intensity of the Big Shows can get to be a bit much!

Also it does seem as though Sketch Covers are starting to be starting to become the flavour of the day. Which I do find quite fun, as they are always tricky to do.

I think what I have come to realise after this show more than anything, is how much I enjoy these shows. It's not just the banter or sketching, or even some of the crazy things I get to see. It's the friendships I make.

These shows have such a friendly vibe to them, kids, teenagers, adults, All there just to have fun. Its Almost an escape from the usual attitude of negativity that many people can posses. Everyone I seem to meet is there for one reason. To have fun, smile and enjoy themselves, which is something I really like.

Its almost a feeling of being one large family, where not everyone agrees on everything, but everyone does agree on one thing. Lets just have fun!

I think this last photo says it far more eloquently than I ever could. A whole family of Transformers just out to enjoy themselves. That's right, check out that baby Optimus Prime! :D

"I was given this as a gift from a little fan so I promised it would be on the website'":D

Transformers Day Out :)

The 1st CARDIFF FILM & COMIC CON

9/3/2013

Not long back from the 1st Cardiff Film and Comic Con and now in recovery mode. This wasn't the 1st show I have attended in Cardiff but it certainly was the biggest. I heard estimates of attendance of 20,000 which honestly wouldn't surprise me. Many people I spoke told told me queues snaked all around the Motorpoint arena.

I had a great time at the show and met many great people. Lot's of 1st timers plus many people I had met before at one event or another. I also had the chance to catch up with a few of my Artist and industry buddies which is always a pleasure.

Speaking of other Artists I had the chance to meet up with longtime Pal and sometime collaborator Simon Soul-man Williams and his new mate the Hoff. Yep that's right David HasselHoff.

Simon is working on a new book with the the Hoff, for more info check out here:

Over the weekend I had many requests and top of the list were sketch covers. Which is Something I enjoy doing as you never know what requests people may come up with. Below are a few samplings. Overall I really enjoyed this show and hope to be back for the next. Thanks to All for making it a Great one!

For more sneak peeks at my Art come & join me on Facebook. ;)
