Web Of Fear.


Again, a big thank you to people who showed our SLASH-UPS: Nature Runs Amok Easter pin-ups some love over the last week. It was great to finally get them out there.

I don’t usually post many of my thumbnails online, but here’s a quick look at a couple for my 'Silences By Silk' pin-up, just to show some early drafts of the basic concept. It was always going to be Amy being swarmed by spiders, and then the idea of being cocooned by webbing slowly started to work its way in there.

The idea of a 'Web-Gag' came much, much later.

In More Detail.

Just a quick reminder for anyone who wants to see my new pin-up, ‘Silences By Silk’ in more detail. Just head over to my Deviantart page now, where it has been posted for all to enjoy.

You can see the Black-And-White linework here.

And also the coloured copy here.

Hope people enjoyed our new SLASH-UPS pin-ups last weekend, and a big thank you to anyone who showed them some love with a nice comment, feedback or a Fav.

Let us know if there’s a horror sub-genre you think we should be tackling next.

Nature Runs Amok This Easter.

Nature Runs Amok this Easter, as SLASH-UPS returns as we happily unveil two new killer critter themed pin-ups this holiday weekend.

While Zombies, Vampires and Werewolves have been around for a while now, surely the Animal Kingdom is Man’s earliest fear (and unlike Zombies, Vampires and Werewolves… are actually REAL). How many of our ancestors found themselves the victims of Cave Bears, Saber-Toothed Tigers or Titanoboas in years gone by? An inbuilt unease of Mother Nature is second nature for most people in the modern world.

So settle back this Easter, as things get primal, and mankind is back on the menu. Although anyone with Arachnophobia or Molluscophobia might want to skip these two new scary offerings.

‘Silences By Silk’ is the tale of a young Arachnologist named Amy, who heads into the deepest darkest part of the woods in search of rare spiders in Andrew’s pin-up. Things don’t go as planned, though, as she soon finds herself prisoner of the arachnids, as she can only watch in horror as they work together to entomb her in their communal web.

And pass the garlic butter, as Escargot strikes back, in James’s pin-up, as Paris comes under attack from a giant gastropod from hell in ‘Attaque D’Escargot!’. Trapping its victims in a river of slime to stop them escaping, can anyone flee the wraith of this colossal continental sucker, or will it be Bon Appetit for the classy diners of France in this nightmarish image.

A massive thank you to Amy Crosby for taking time out of her super busy schedule and modelling for SLASH-UPS again. It’s always a thrill and pleasure to have her onboard. When she’s not wearing a Pith Helmet and hunting rare spiders, you can find Amy and her work at her awesome website.

Below you can see both pin-ups posted together. Enjoy and have a great Easter, everyone, and watch out for more SLASH-UPS pin-ups and SLASH-UPS: Volume 2 related news happening later in the year.

Little Shotgun Guy.


Another 'before the magic happens' shot today of a drawing in progress.

This time a tiny little guy shooting off his shotgun while standing between a very sloppy pair of legs.

Falling Shotgun.


Channelling my inner John Woo this weekend with this photo.

I put this in my pin-up as a kind of background detail, but now I kind of like it.
