Covered - 2000AD - Strontium Dog

Just had a cover re-interpretation shown on Covered.



The original was by the great Carlos Ezquerra. He's one of those guys that I wholly took for granted reading 2000AD reprints as a kid but now I'm that bit older I can really appreciate the sheer quantity of pages he churned out, especially for massive twenty-something Judge Dredd epics such as 'The Apocalypse War'.



If he was a movie director he'd be someone like Don Siegel, you may not see him up on the podium at the Oscars, but he's consistently knocked the ball out of the park.

This is a recent piece I've finished. It's in pencil, watercolour and ink. Decided to really ramp up the bold outlines. Pretty happy with how it turned out though made a cock-up inking in the loops of the crown of thorns. Someday soon I'll get it all right.

The original artwork can be bought on Etsy here, go on, christmas is coming!

Lazer Love

This is a piece I've worked on lately. It's in ink and water colours. It's hard getting a bit of weight with watercolours and I think I may have went overkill on the final black outlines. Though I think it's healthy sometimes to sit down at a blank piece of paper knowing you don't have the luxury of 'undo', especially with something like watercolours which needs a considered build up with no going back over your tracks.



Here's a few details from it:

Here's a few sketchbook pages from a holiday in Greece in August.

They depict images from Meteora in Northern Greece, studies of passengers and sights on a ferry from Samos to Athens and also sketches from a visit to the National Archaeological Museum in Athens.
