My name is Brian, an artist who goes by the handle of Burky! I am a Dublin illustrator based in Belfast, N Ireland. I like to work on characters based on pop culture and other niche interests.

Since everyone is sharing art of Spike Spiegel - here are a couple of mine. One of my favourite characters to draw!

Re draw from a frame of Spike in the Swordfish from Session 5 "Ballad of Fallen Angels." From Cowboy Bebop.

Spike from Cowboy Bebop poses with his right hand rubbing his scalp while casually holding a cigerette. He is wearing a trenchcoat and bathed in cool lighting.

This reminds me: I also had a (mini) stroke a few years back, and one incident increases the odds other being another. So, please keep an eye out for these warning signs with me (or anyone else you might know know): www.cdc.gov/stroke/signs...

I can't help but compare all those American right wing accs on Twitter getting exposed to operating outside the US to that of those fake tech support scammers that would call claiming to work for Microsoft.

Same type of brain falls for that same kind of trick, I guess.
