Spandex Black & White

I was recently asked by Martin Eden to contribute to 'Spandex Black & White' – a mini artbook that comes free with issue 7 of Spandex, the comic about a Brighton-based all-gay superteam, written and illustrated by Martin.

'Spandex Black & White' features images by 16 different artists of some of the many characters that Martin has created in the comic. Martin asked me to draw a picture of the Japanese superhero group The J-Team – Harajuku Girl, Salary Man, Geisha, Su Mo, Fuji, Facemask and Mr Tokyo – and I decided to show the team enjoying some time off from superheroics...



Spandex #7, and previous issues of the series, are available to order online for £3.20 (including postage and packaging).

Movillustration – The Final Countdown!

I'm entering into the final few days of my Movillstration challenge to raise money and awareness for Prostate Cancer UK with only 5 days left to go before the end of the month, and an end to my daily drawings of men with moustaches!

Here's an update of the drawings I've done over the last ten days...





















You can view all of my Movillustration pictures so far on my Movillustration Tumblr page, and if you want to donate some money to Prostate Cancer UK, then you can visit my Just Giving page here: http://www.justgiving.com/movillustration. Only five more daily drawings to go...

Blame Canada!

My friends Ming Xien and Arbi are leaving London to go and live in Canada very soon. I made them this card. I don't really know much about Canada...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends! :)

Happy Birthday Ayano!

Last week it was my friend Ayano's birthday. She was away in Berlin for her actual birthday, but I met up with her yesterday and gave her this card which I made...

Movillustration – Halfway there!

I've reached the halfway point with my Movillustration project to raise money and awareness for Prostate Cancer UK by drawing a different moustachioed man every day for the whole month of November... and I must admit I'm starting to get a little bit tired! But I still have plenty of moustaches to keep me going until the end of the month. Here's an update since the last time I posted on here, and if you want to keep up to date with my daily drawings then you can follow my Movillustration Tumblr blog here: http://movillustrations.tumblr.com/



Fifteen down, fifteen to go! If you want to sponsor me for my ridiculous efforts and donate some money to Prostate Cancer UK, then you can visit my Just Giving page here: http://www.justgiving.com/movillustration

Hitchcock sketchathon

Earlier this afternoon I was busy drawing moustaches, when I noticed a tweet from Little White Lies magazine (@LWLies) announcing their latest #sketchathon - one hour to draw a picture of Alfred Hitchcock with the chance to win the Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection Blu-Ray. So I stopped what I was drawing and got to work on a Hitchcock sketch...

While I didn't win, my drawing did get a "Special Mention" as one of the Runners Up. It was a good exercise to take part in and I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for the next #sketchathon...

Happy Birthday Kirsty!

Last night my friend Kirsty had a party for her birthday with the theme "Films From Our Childhood", giving me the excuse to finally live out my life-long ambition to be a Ghosbuster...



I knew ahead of the party that Kirsty was planning to go dressed as Garth from Wayne's World, so I drew her this card...

Happy Birthday Molly!

Yesterday was my friend Molly's birthday and I drew her this card...

The Sigh Heard Around The World

So this morning I woke up to the news that Barack Obama had won a second term as the President Of The United States of America, and the whole world breathed a collective sigh of relief at the fact that Mitt Romney lost.

Following Obama's election in Novmeber 2008, Marvel Comics featured the President on the variant cover to The Amazing Spider-Man #583...



The issue included a story entitled "Spidey Meets The President!" written by Mark Waid, in which Spider-Man... meets The President. It went on to sell over 350,000 copies and had five reprintings.

I guess it's time for a new cover...
