Portsmouth Sketch Roundup: IX

Back in 1991 or so, I drew a two-page strip for the dummy of an Fleetway anthology called Earthside 8. It never made it to the stands. My strip was called Mister Elephant Head, about a private-eye pachyderm. And here he is, 27 years on – a little thicker around the waist, perhaps, but still looking good.

Another Betty Boop. This one isn't as good as yesterday's – she looks a bit drunk.

This one was commissioned as a gift for someone's mum turning 75 years old.

Weird but fun: someone got me to draw in a Star Wars activity book – the gist being that you're supposed to finish the uncompleted drawings. This would have been even better if I'd actually seen any Star Wars movies in the last 30 years.

I attended the Portsmouth Comic Con last weekend where I had a table with my son (whose two comics, Pinkbeard and The Bog, outsold mine by a healthy margin). I picked up some excellent comics there and met some talented people. I also drew some sketches. I'll be trickling these out over the coming days because that's how I roll; some new surprises mixed up with some old favourites.

First one is an old favourite. I should try this one blindfolded sometime and see how it comes out.
