HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year for tomorrow. I can’t believe another Christmas is already over.

It’s been a weird year of ups and downs for me, this year, with lots of drama. I feel like I’ve got very little done in 2019, but hopefully that’s not true.

My plans for 2020 are a bit all over the place at the moment. I know I’d like to do another Vampire pin-up or two in the coming year if I can get a model or something set up. A pin-up with a very Hammer Horror vibe to it (if I had more time, I’d go into my disastrous attempts to get a Vampire pin-up off the ground this year).

Also, even though they’re probably very out of fashion at the moment, I’m very aware I haven’t drawn any Zombies for a long time now (we’re probably talking years). So I’m not sure how, but I’d love to slip in a quick Zombie pin-up too this year, if I can. As well as some kind of sequel to Silences By Silk.

I do plan to start 2020 off with an usual pin-up that people might not be expecting. I don’t usually dabble much in fan-art, but it’s a famous British horror comic book character I’ve been wanting to draw for years. A character I’ve always wanted to try in my style. So hopefully some people will get a quick out of seeing me do that.

A big thanks for those that supported my artwork this year, and hope you have a great New Year tonight, everyone.

See you all in 2020 (which sounds very futuristic).

The Last Of The Year.

This weekend’s update of Babayka-Lives is both the last of 2019, and the last of its current run. But have no fear, there’ll be more Babayka action in 2020, so keep watching this blog for the latest news.

I also hope all readers had a happy Christmas earlier this week.

Merry Christmas 2019.

A very quick and cheerful MERRY CHRISTMAS, everyone. Hope you all have a good one this year.

I’m very tired from working on a new secret pin-up with a tough deadline recently (more details on that soon, I promises), as well as good old real life problems to really get into the Christmas vibe too much this year, if I’m honest. But I am looking forward to breaking out the booze and relaxing a bit over the next 48-hours. I have a healthy amount of Vodka in my cupboard and a ridiculously yummy looking stollen to keep me going.

It was unplanned, but I seem to be having a slightly Vampire themed Xmas this year. I have Season 6 of True Blood and Count Yorga to binge watch over this week, and then will be very much enjoying the new BBC Dracula over New Year. (Fun side-bet… will 2020 finally be the year I manages to get another Vampire pin-up on the go?)

And also, just a quick reminder for those with any free time over Christmas who want something scary to read, that Babayka-Lives is currently being updated with new instalments this Winter, as the solders hunting Babayka get closer to their prey, but find their prey has a few sinister tricks of his\its own.

A big thanks to everyone who regularly swings by this blog to check out my latest art and shows support for Babayka-Lives. I hope you have a great Christmas.

Double-Ended Witch Fingers?


What kind of monster has double-ended Witch Fingers on his\its elbow pads?

A really sick one, that’s for sure.

A real Super-Fiend.

Scare Tactics.


This weekend on Babayka-Lives, the bones fly, as the trap tightens around Newton, Oleg and the Solders, as they fall foul of mind games and scare tactics.

You Be The Judge.


I still can’t go into any real detail yet about the theme of my new pin-up, but if you look really carefully, there might be a couple of subtle clues you can decode for yourself in this photo.

I’ll give you one hint… I’ve spent wwwwaaaaaayyyyyyyy too many hours this week drawing pockets and pads.

Under Attack.

It’s a very ‘trigger happy’ blog update this weekend…

As firstly, Serrock and Co try and shoot their way out of the bony booby trap they’ve just walked into in this week’s instalment of Babayka-Lives. As they find themselves surrounded by death.

And secondly, I thought I’d share this pistol-packing work-in-progress photo from my latest pin-up. I still can’t really go into too much detail at the moment, but as you can see, the image does contain some good old gunplay. And I will be required to draw a very, very tricky futuristic gun.

I’d still one day really like to draw a Western comic (even though no one sadly reads Western comics anymore).
