Night Breed Marvel Comics/Epic 1992/93

My First official WFH in mainstream Comics. I was hired on first to compleat an unfinished issue of Clive Barker’s Night Breed, #20 : Circle of Vengeance pt3. It was the fastest I ever drew I think, did 19 full size [11×17″] pages of art in 10 days.

Amazed me and impressed the editors who a month later asked if I’d like another. That was ‘THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY’ in Clive Barker’s Night Breed #23, a 32 page storey. This one also went fast and i’m still very pleased with a lot of the art i did on it.

These are partial sets, to give you a peek at the orriginals.

Likenesses & Portraits

I enjoy drawing portraits! I’d like the opportunity to do yours or one of someone close to you.

It’s a exceptionally effective gift, my B&W ink portraits of your loved ones, make very affordable investments in future fally heirlooms! A quick sketch of yourself, a distinctive profile pic for social media!

Here’s a selection of portraits and likenesses I’ve drawn for both private and commercial clients in the past.

As a freelancer I take some pride in being pliable and diverse, rather than holding a very rigid style.

I enjoy adapting to the work and evolving, and exploring my own interests when I can.

Lifestyles & Love

I’ve done a fair bit of illustration work depicting lifestyle themes.

I’m good at generally appealing aesthetics and embedding narratives to help frame your ideas.

Here’s a selection of illustrations for past clients, focused on lifestyle and consumption themes.

Science & Technology

I wanted to be a Scientist as a kid, art won the race but i still love science and technology. And drawing diagrams can be fun!

I think I bring a lot of strengths to this kind of work. It presents some challenges. Both in capturing the subject matter well and communicating with it’s clients. My personal fascination with STEM subjects and attention to detail I think suit the job well!

Eek the Cat!

[image error]

My first job at Nelvana Animation Studios was to be honest, insanely easy and fun!

I drew backgrounds & props as a designer for Season 5 of Eek the Cat.

The job entailed drawing in a prescribed “child like fashion” which took me a few days to get into the swing of, and then enjoyed a great deal.

Not much more to say about it other than that. Here’s some of the work I did!

Waynehead

I worked for part of the 1st season on Waynehead as a background & prop designer at Nelvana Animation Studios.

Had a fair bit of fun on this show, I did locations and props, clean ups of designs from another studio that were messy, and some background art for Key transition shots.

The Ally I drew on my first day on the job is in this clip, along with those still images in the interstitial. Many of these drawings were used for those.
