BEE HAPPY




So having done lots of youthwork in Edinburgh years ago - i still miss that kind of work and have ended up working for other organisations that deal with the third sector. Designing and drawing workshops and info leaflets. Here are my bee illustrations for the BEE HAPPY campaign for the fantastic Comic Book Company a southern based info. resource producers. check them out at -






Hip flask is an amazing creation. In a world of comics where superheroes are appearing on screen telling stories that are fifty years old and still feeling stale and over used. Richard Starkings has produced a modern heroic tale. Set in harsh world of genetic manipulation, Hip Flask (now ELEPHANTMEN) cashes in on the history of great old style storytelling, but has the depth of a well written novel and talent pool of creators you can really enjoy swimming around with.


Anyway - he's a nice chap and gave me a typeface i wanted in return for character studies. Here we have Vanity sitting on a time machine staring out over mystery city. I still owe hip and can't wait for him to cash in his chips and use me for something. Check out the saga - http://hipflask.com/

CELPH WIDESCREEN CARDS AND HATING CAR CULTURE.











after that short break from Celph over the summer - I finally got back into her world. The story arc i had wad very large and wobbly. The story just wasn't moving with the pace i wanted and with amount of commercial work mounting around me i condensed the story into eight widescreen cards. Probably the most successful thing i have done with Celph. Mainly, i think, because i took the time to colour it. (which took nearly as long as drawing each one.)




There are still a few packs available from me on request. and printed here are my favs and the editorial, that only made it into a few packs, where i rant on about how i hate car culture. Which i do.
