September Commissions II
Apparently I misread the brief on this one, so I'll be having another crack at it later in the month... in the meantime, this version is available through the web store if anyone wants it.

September Commissions I
Here's the first of the current batch. A few of the pieces I'll be posting here over the next few weeks are for Thought Bubble on the 23rd & 24th of September; the rest have been sitting on a list for quite some time, for which I apologise if you're one of the intended recipients. I intend to have the backlog cleared before the end of the month.

Zoot Lives!
Been a bit quiet on the blog recently. Time for a catch-up. There are a few things of note to report:
• The new Zoot! arrived from the printer this morning and it's a beauty – forty pages of black-and-white comic-bookery under a painted cover. It's now available from my web store. (I will also have copies for sale at Thought Bubble in September and at the Nottingham Comic Convention in October.)
• I've just turned in a short story for Archaia's Labyrinth 2017 Special. It's sort of a David Bowie tribute. That should be in stores in November.
• Criminy, a Max Fleischer-inspired project which writer Ryan Ferrier and I have put together, has found a home with a major US comic book publisher. More on that in a while, once some of the details are worked out. Suffice to say it's all rather exciting. A few sample pages from our pitch document are shown below; Ryan showed these on Twitter a month or so back, which led to the project finding a publisher.
The blog should become a bit more active in the near future, as I'm about to start working on a run of commissions that have been waiting in the queue for far too long.

Kirbyesque
It would have been Jack Kirby's 100th birthday today. I'm a huge fan – especially of his 1970s work, which is as personal and unique as anything the underground comix were coming out with at the same time. So, to mark the occasion, here are a bunch of Kirby-themed sketches and commissions I've done over the past few years, all in one place.
Happy 100th, Mr Kirby, wherever you are.
