Summer Of Sci-Fi.

Fun Fact: This is my second go at writing this blog post after a sudden Power Cut killed my first try right as I was about to finish it.

I don't think I've actually said what's on the cards so far for 2022 yet, so this update is just me putting that right and letting people know what to expect in the coming months and what art I'm working on.

But first I'd like to give a quick big 'thank you' to everyone and anyone who showed my recent War themed artwork some love recently. It was nice to finally be able to put it out online and let people see what I've been working on. Admittedly the timing wasn't great, what with the War in Ukraine (proving once and for all that I have cursed timing in life). But I have to say I think the work went down better than I thought it would, which is great, and I hope people enjoyed seeing me tackle that genre and doing something new. I do have plans to do more War themed art down the line.

And as for future projects, over the Summer I'll be doing some more Science Fiction themed Art. I already have something on the go right now that I'm enjoying drawing a lot as I get to do giant Space-Bugs and Ray-Guns (which are two of the coolest things to draw). As well as another secret 'Cosmic Horror' pin-up I hope to share very soon. So if you thought you were gonna have an Alien free Summer, think again.

I also wouldn't mind trying to fit in another 'Model And Monsters' pin-up soon too, as it's been a while. But as always, that would be about hooking up with a model who could fit me into her schedule.

Spread Love, Not Germs.

It's that time of year again for that new tradition of buying a big expensive box of fancy Chocolates from the shops and then having to give it a good going over with an antiseptic wipe, because you don't wanna be the arsehole who gave your Mum a nasty case of Covid on Mothersday.

It's the licking an envelope that comes with it that's been sitting out in the open in a public shop that always creeps me out. I wish I could 'outsource' that particular job.

Survive The 2020's.

Considering we're only three years into the 2020's, it's amazing how brutal they've been so far...

What with a deadly plague that has killed millions and can infect anyone. All the terrible storms in recent weeks including the worse I've ever lived through with storm Eunice last month. And now the biggest War in Europe since WW2. These are indeed intense and scary times.

And sadly we're probably only around a third of the way through this decade so far.

The War Folder.

Having to write this update one handed today after finally getting my Booster Jab yesterday, meaning my left arm is now painful and numb and pretty useless for the next 24-hours.

In other news... I spent some time this week uploading my recent War themed Artwork on DeviantArt and even put all my pieces in their own folder, for people who want to locate my War Art in one handy place. 

You can find that Folder here.

Three Years In.

As we head into the third year of this Pandemic, it's creepy how things have changes and yet stayed the same...

I went for a walk around the Park today for exercise. I love how people still just basically break down into two types. Those that freak out when they see they have to walk past you and try and put as much space between you as they can, sometimes even crossing the road or jumping off the foot path to avoid you... And those that just come right up to you and invade your space and breath all over you like you're on a date or something.

Old War Booty.

In a previous post I shared a photo of my 'Stash' of current UK War themed Comics I had acquired recently. So today I thought it would be fun to share this photo. 

While sorting out my Comic Book collection over the Weekend, I came across some of my old War Comics I'd read as a kid back in the 90's (when War Comics were really out of fashion). They're mainly Sgt Fury and the odd issue of DC's The Loser, one of which has amazing artwork by Jack Kirby inside. 

A lot of them I uses to pick up for 30p each in my old comic book shop in an old tucked away Long Box (great days).
