Knee deep in pages on 3 projects, but had to break away yesterday morning to spend 30mins on this mess about. Nothing crazy, just a Penguin from Jonathan Glapion. A warm penguin, and a cold penguin because i'm indecisive.

Quick little 1 hour piece from the other night before bed. 'Boxer Conan', lines from Gerardo Zaffino, lovely as ever. Splashes from me.

Just saw IDW have posted this Rocketeer cover I did some time back with Sean Gordon Murphy on lines. The story was in tribute to Amelia Earhart, hence her being in the image, need to get a copy to read it myself. Fun times on this though, always loved The Rocketeer design.

Looking to stack up the pin-up/cover/commission pile again. If anyone has anything, or knows anyone who might, drop my name in a hat by all means. Busy with page work, but just filling gaps as they come up.
Thanks guys.

Little kickstarter just started up for the Volume 1 of Voiceless, a cool fantasy indie I coloured over Gioele Filippo. It's italian, but i'm sure there will be multiple translations offered digitally. Should have #2 out later next year as well.

Ah, an oldie I forgot to post last year, from the Zorro Kickstarter as reward for the top tier backers (they had their mugs placed in the photo frames after I had finished!). Lines from Sean Gordon Murphy, with colours from me, obvious Days of Future Past homage... obviously!

I had the pleasure of my first Marvel cover a while back (through DC, so still not officially worked for them on paper). So yeah, got these lines off Sean Gordon Murphy, and went to town. Batman/Deadpool #1 variant cover, due out Novermber 19th!
Yes, that's not Batman, I am aware it's Lobo lol!

Cover colours for the upcoming Battle Beast #6, from Image/Skybound (Invincible spin off series from Kirkman and Ottley). Lines from Sean Gordon Murphy, colours from me.
That was a lot of 'from's'.
This was a lot of fun, loved how this came out.

Coloured this a while back as a personal piece, lines from the ever impeccable Gerardo Zaffino, with an appreciative nod to Mike Spicer for letting me have his flats file as I was being lazy.

We've spent two issues building up the tension and the danger for the Crew of the HMS Thunder Child.
So we are not messing around in issue 3 - it's carnage from the outset as seen here.
