So, it’s been quiet here, but, some finely tended things are, finally, starting to sprout. Let’s start with:

Phonogram – did a four page “B” side – here’s page 1 of it, lovingly coloured by Steven Denton

Also, did a six page strip for Dwight L. MacPherson’s Interagents. Page 1 is full colour, the remaining are monochrome flashbacks…

Next out of the gate are a couple of things for the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, a six part Dredd strip called “interlude” (ok, it’s not actually got Dredd in it, and it is an interlude, from the main story, but still – it’s written by John Wagner and is important for Dredd continuity)

Following that, is a 9 page Megazine story, part of the new series of Judge Dredd: The Lost Cases, written by Alan Grant. Everyone else is doing there’s greywashed (which I didn’t know… actually, not 100% sure of it, but it makes sense) – and I was asked to do that too, but, like a maroon, I wanted to do it differently … old school ! My episode is called “Contract on Grud”.

Finally, and, most importantly, I’m currently doing a three part series for [Haha! Made You Look!] publisher, written by [Seriously? You looked again!?]. I’m pretty proud of the work I’m doing on it, and ticks a number of wish fulfilment boxes for me, personally. And I’m not showing any of it just yet! Sorry!

The podcast “Everything comes back to 2000AD” is a pretty entertaining way to while away some time while drawing, two comic fans rummage through the archive of 2000AD and start reading from issue 1 reading a couple of issues and reviewing them, then read the most current couple of issues and review them. While drunk. So it’s pretty sweary, but good fun.

Long term readers of this blog and the old blog – of which we will never speak – will know I’ve a mini-obsession about stuff like this – that is, creating your own media, putting videos, podcasts and comics together, for me, all belong in the same area of my head. Comics are easiest – less people, less technology, but, when I can find the time, I like to get involved in other media. So, when they started the podcast, like some desperate 10 year old I volunteered to be interviewed, several podcasts later and it finally happened.

I’m pretty sure I come across as an arse, rather than the charming fellow I am. And I’d also like to apologise to everyone I know. Especially if I said something offensive during the podcast (which I may have done, I’m refusing to listen to it…)

Anyhue, it’s around 90minutes long should be considered NSFW, and it can be found here. Hope you enjoy it.

Hey, I’ve been asked by one of the 2000AD message board crowd if I could supply them with some b&w artwork for a colouring compo, so, and, after checking everything was ok with the Mighty One (thanks Tharg!) here’s the artwork.

Dredd Colour Samples (it’s about 4Mb compressed).

If you’d like to download and play, it’s a cover plus some internal pages of artwork, at 400dpi in Tiff format. If you do colour them, don’t forget to ping back on the blog!

Another goofie strip written by Gordon Rennie (under the alias H. Janus) and drawn by me. One of Gordon’s favourites.
