Just resharing a cover I made a few months back.
It's unofficial but was a good warm up for drawing again.

Hunt out the Ultramega graphic novels, they are pretty stunning.

This super villain is 15 years old! General Pandemonium from Boy Zero a series of books by author Peter Millet - great books to illustrate!

My dream involved mainly walking up lots of stairs in a venue, some of the time holding a pint that cost £8.40 which I’d reluctantly bought from a bar in a student union. I recall being somewhat outraged by the price (‘in MY day, student unions had cheap drinks!’ etc.)

The BBC are screening a 90 minute cutdown of the Jon Pertwee classic Doctor Who story The Sea Devils in December...

Numerology, the Bible, Pixies references, Doctor Who & a few silly animals - very much like a slice of my life really... ‘And if the devil is six then God is seven...’

Right @mbalazo.bsky.social has informed me that in his hometown there's an English-themed pub called Bollocks. This would be like someone here opening a US-style diner and calling it Jerking Off or something.
