Oshiro model terrain, although I don't know if they have been released yet. Might be worth asking him.

First town bases done. I'll start on the next one during the week. A bit amateur in places but I'm happy with it

New commission just painted for a mate, of Belfast Marina/Harbour/Dockyard. I've never been so I don't know which part this is. Longing to visit Ireland and trace my roots.
U2 helped me complete this today.

Painting of a night sky lit by the bright lights of a dockyard. There are buildings in the background, boats and water in the foreground. The water is calm and almost still.

I'm so, so tired of asking people to buy this book. Self-promotion makes me want to vomit. I also don't think it should be my job to atone for the mess my ex-publishers made. What I would prefer to do is fuck off somewhere quiet and write. But I want this book to have a secure life in the world.

THREAD. My new novel will be published on Sep 11th. You can pre-order a signed 1st edition w/free intl delivery here: blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...

All pre-orders MASSIVELY help it get into shops.

IMO it's the best book I've ever written.

At one point, I thought it might be lost forever....

Two black and white cats. One laid down the other sat up a little further away. Both are on a bad and looking at the camera.
