Well, spooky season has begun, and what better way to kick it off than with The Master of Menace himself, Vincent Price!

Couldn't resist the atmospheric lighting and sinister expression on this one. What an iconic face.

Anyone interested in a super limited print run?

Well, I only went and got interviewed by BBC Essex to talk about art and penguins for Waddle-on-Sea!

My (very brief) chat can be heard here at around the 1:44:00 mark, for the folks that want to hear my estuary accent: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Funny old day!

"Oh, I Do Like to Waddle Beside the Seaside!"

#WaddleonSea is now LIVE!

I'm proud to pull back the curtain on my contribution to this awesome trail by Havens Hospices and Wild In Art

Please tag me in your photos of my penguin!

Happy waddling, folks!

Heck of an evening hosting my (first?) Drink and Draw event - much fun and laughs had!

I'm pretty sure Hopsters sell the absolute best range of non-alcoholic beers in the area, too.

David Bowie.

Copic Multiliners and brush pen on Bristol board. 3.5"x3.5".

I managed to sneak in this last minute commission for Christmas - I'll spare you the low hanging fruit of an Under Pressure joke. Bowie has been on my 'to-draw' list for some time, and was an absolute pleasure to work on.

Tomorrow sees the release of Saturday Morning Cards' officially licenced T2 trading cards!

Proud to have contributed artwork on 9 cards of this seminal piece of sci-fi/action cinema. I pushed myself to deliver my very best work here, so I'm excited to share the results!

Which is your favourite?

A little something from a while back of my all-time favourite comic book character; John Constantine, as excellently portrayed by Matt Ryan.

Something a bit different today!

I was invited to sit for a shoot with Photography students at SEEVIC College as part of their current project and upcoming exhibition; "Creative Essex, Meet the Makers".

Always fun to chat art with such an engaged group. I can't wait to see their work.

Took part in the Southend Urban Landscape Open today. Fresh air and drawing is a combo I could get used to.

Happy #BatmanDay, folks.
