OINK! art! BUSTER cover! And more in my latest art auction

I've just listed more of my original comic art on eBay and the auctions will run until next Sunday evening (26th April). 

You'll see them all at this link:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?sid=graphite47

Remember Pigswilla, the giant robot pig from Oink! comic? There's a two page full colour strip from 1987 awaiting your bids. I know this character was popular, although he only made a handful of appearances so here's your chance to grab this rarity! 

 

In the 1990s, Tom Thug had become one of the most popular strips in Buster comic, and even took over the cherished cover spot from Buster himself a few times! One of those covers (including page 2) is in the auction right now!

It was a pleasure to have a decent run on Pup Parade for a while in the Beano several years ago as it had been one of my favourite strips as a child. One of the strips I drew in 2019 is up for bids!

 

 

Finally, something recent. So recent in fact that the issue I drew it for is still on sale! It's my Daft Dimension artwork from Doctor Who Magazine No.628 featuring the Quarks! In the auction right now. 

Here's the link again. Good luck with your bids!

UPDATE: BOTH PAGES SOLD. 

Special Spring Sale! I've just listed two Tom Thug pages, each at a special Buy It Now price. If you'd like to own original comic art pages from Buster from 1991, grab 'em before they're gone!

Auction ends soon on Dandy artwork

Dandy artwork for sale this week

 

It's been a while since I listed any original art for sale but I currently have two items on eBay this week. The auctions end on Sunday 19th April so not long to go!

There's a Keyhole Kate strip from The Dandy Annual 2021 and a Postman Prat (Christmas theme) one from The Dandy Annual 2023. As you know, I draw my strips traditionally, ink on Bristol Board, and scan them into Photoshop (or other software) to colour them digitally. So... the originals are still black and white but I thought you'd like to see the colour versions (above). 

Please bid if you wish to have a chance of winning these original pieces of comic art. Good luck! Just to clarify; it's the black and white original art you'll receive, not the digital colour versions.

Daft Dimension in progress

I've just sent off the artwork for the next Daft Dimension to Panini UK. I thought you might like to see a glimpse of it when it was partly completed. 

Here's a snapshot of part of a panel after I'd inked it on Bristol Board using a brushpen. After that I scanned it into Clip Studio Paint and cleaned it up and coloured it, then once it was completed I emailed it as a TIFF file to the editor. 

You can see the finished strip in Doctor Who Magazine No.629 at the end of this month.

Lawless interview from 2022

I'd forgotten about this until Joanne Alexander posted it on Facebook today. An interview she conducted with me at the Lawless Comic Con in Bristol back in 2022. Click on the link below to see the video...
