It’s about time I introduced myself again. I’m James, an illustrator, designer and writer from the UK.

My obsessions are cars, my dog Winnie and sci-fi. I’m currently working on a new sci-fi IP.

You can see my nonsense at mrjalco.co.uk or www.youtube.com/@MostlyAboutDriving

Cheers!

Yes, I am still working on this between paid jobs. More colour and detail added. Probably about 50% there now. This is the part where it all looks ugly and you just have to stick with it. It'll come good in the end.
Godzilla artwork. His nuclear is blasting off to the left and the background is full of smoke, fire and ruined shapes of buildings.

EXTREMELY surprised not to win the Mad Cave Lettering Talent Search. I can only assume my envelope got lost in the post.

The bright side is, this means I'm available to letter YOUR book! Hit me up if you need lettering/design/pre-press for your comics project.

For a small country, Wales has a surprising number of very, very cool dinosaurs.

Pendraig milnerae (Pendraig = “chief dragon” in Welsh) was discovered in 1952, not far from where I live, but only named in 2021 after being re-discovered in storage by Angela Milner and Susannah Maidment.

A digital portrait of a dinosaur with long scaly snout and short, coarse fibres covering its head and neck. Its head is shown lowered close to the sandy ground, possibly looking for its next meal.
