Original art for sale. CAPTAIN WALLY! COMBAT COLIN! DOCTOR WHO! BRICKMAN and... CAPTAIN AMERICA!

I'm selling more of my original artwork on eBay this week so I hope that those of you who missed out last time will find someting to interest you here. 

There's one of my earliest characters here as a page of Captain Wally is up for sale. This strip appeared in Marvel UK's Spider-Man Comic No.649 way back in 1985! Not only does it feature Captain Wally but it's also the very first appearance of my Macho Man character when he was a villain, before I rebooted him as a hero for his own strip in Secret Wars comic.

Next, there's a Daft Dimension strip from 2017. The original art for the episode that appeared in the official Doctor Who Magazine No.508, featuring three Doctors! As a bonus I'm also including my initial roughed out idea for the strip plus a full colour print of the final version.

Last but not least a very unique item from me. Back in 1997 I was asked to draw a page for the Jack Kirby Quarterly magazine and was sent a photocopy of a Jack Kirby pencil sketch to ink via my lightbox. The result is me doing Kirby-style art of Captain America and Brickman!

That time I inked Jack Kirby

Back in 1997 Chrissie Harper asked me to do a page for the Jack Kirby Quarterly, a magazine dedicated to the work of the King. I was sent an A3 photocopy of a sketch that Jack Kirby had done years earlier. A stat of his pencils showing Captain America and his nemesis the Red Skull. My brief was to ink the image but change the Red Skull into my character Brickman, yet retaining the Kirby style.

It was a very enjoyable job to do. As I only had a photocopy to ink I used my Lightbox to do the job, inking it on good quality Bristol board. I was happy with the result...

When the image was published in Jack Kirby Quarterly No.11 (1997) Chrissie had added some tone to enhance it. I liked the effect! 

This is the issue it's in, if you're ever searching the back issue boxes at conventions...
