I seem to be gathering followers at a nice pace - & not all from my industry either, which is nice.
Anyway, I figured I’d introduce myself after a year & a half on this platform :)
My name is Dave & I make comics with The God of Horror, John Carpenter. I also draw the odd poster, eat food & sleep.

Sketched another one.
Always liked Donny. While everyone else was piggin about, he was always tackling the problems.

45 years since that rotten old Empire struck back.
My Dad told me recently he had to take me out of the 4th or 5th showing of the film that he’d taken me to because I kept loudly stating ‘Got him! Need him! Haven’t got him yet!’.
I still do that.

For some of us, every day is Star Wars Day.
May the Force be with you.
Always.

Good Lord, I’m really enjoying s2 of #andor
It’s climbing the charts of my favourite shows of all time. There’s a shot in ep.6 of Kleya simply turning to camera that’s one of the most beautiful shots I’ve ever seen.
Anyway, here’s an old sketch I did when s1 arrived.

Yessss! Great stuff, mate! Love it :)

Dave Kennedy @cherrysheriff.bsky.social · Mar 8

I keep seeing a bunch of lovely #firefly art in my feeds this week, so I’ve dug out an old piece from a few years back so it looks like I’m still cool. ‘I am a leaf on the wind…’

It’s gorgeous isn’t it? I can only dream of handling inks like that.

Dave Kennedy @cherrysheriff.bsky.social · Mar 5

You guys will dig this, I think. Staz Johnson did something similar for Jaws a few years back. This looks awesome:- stazjohnson.tumblr.com/post/6309759...

Staz Johnson's comic art Tumblr blog

JAWS. My imagining of what the first page of a Jaws comic adaption may have looked like in 1975 if Marvel had done one. Pencil & ink on paper, digital colour & text. Lettering by Jim Campbell.

I am unsure as to their designated name elsewhere in the UK, but Jubbilies were THE frozen snack here in the north west of England. Cheap plastic cup filled with Vimto with a lolly stick in so it can be hoisted from its mold when frozen. Still head & shoulders above any current offering.

A little detail from a piece I have in the upcoming Ultraman Art Book from the good folks at @printedinblood.bsky.social - which will be hitting Kickstarter today I believe, over at ULTRAMANBOOKS.com Drawing the big fella was a real treat as my son is a big fan & I like it when I look cool to him. 🙂

New #fantasticfour trailer on its way calls for a midnight sketch.

Yep. That's how I feel.

"In off the cushion".

Dave Kennedy @cherrysheriff.bsky.social · Jan 30

My thoughts exactly.
Kid managed to bypass nappy security by firing through a small temporary opening, thus concentrating the velocity enough to bounce off the arm of the sofa and into my back pocket. Granted, it wasn’t really solid so he’s no William Tell, but in my mind he’s on a par with Spidey.

Finally! Someone uses my nickname.

Dave Kennedy @cherrysheriff.bsky.social · Jan 30

No problemo duderino. I'm always at the desk if you ever fancy a "I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT CAME OUT OF MY CHILD TODAY" chat. My son once managed to poo in the back pocket of my jeans, whilst sat on my lap. Skill levels - off the charts.

Totally get it, dude. The arrival of our imp threw me into a whirlpool of melting clocks and insanity. I'm sure the good folk who await your books with relish will be happy to wait for you to get back to firing on all cylinders.

Great. Now I’m hungry.

Had a couple of hours sketching today.
Tried to remember what the ‘Boomers’ from Bubblegum Crisis looked like. Probably not like this.
