By @paulcornell.bsky.social and @ryankelly.bsky.social
Colours by me, last year.

The 1st time I met Paul many years ago I remember telling him how much I had LOVED Saucer Country& Saucer State! Imagine my reaction when I was asked to colour the finale! Over the moon!

If I have enough time to do charcoal erase doodles of Victorian cat babies instead of colouring comics I clearly need more work… Email me (in bio) or DM if you are in need a colourist 👍

Remembering the first page of the first story I coloured for @2000ad.bsky.social back in early 2018.

Judge Death. Written by @leahmoore.bsky.social and art by Xulia Vincente.

Easily the most metal thing I’ve ever done. In life. Ever.

Space crime and punishment.
Wanted to make the space prison look rusted, almost Martian, in contrast with the slick blues and greens earlier on.

VIN-E, from a 2000AD futureshock earlier this year… written by James Peaty, Art by Gary Welsh, colours by myself.

Today’s colour warm up is a digital study of a beautiful oil painting, Marcsi, by Mary Beth McKenzie.
I cooled the colours and exaggerated that crisp blue line that separates the planes. The original (left) is a million times superior in all ways, but I’m still happy with this as a study.

Cover I coloured with line art by the lovely and brilliant @emmavieceli.bsky.social for The Modern Frankenstein. A very cool and dark reimagining of Mary Shelley’s classic character.

Wish I could show you the next page too, but the mischievous fairy inside is kinda not dressed (why would he be?)

Daily doodle…
Summer, I’m done! So ready for autumn now.

For someone who is a bit in love with the 60s, this was a crazy cool job.

Colouring the original 1960s art of Luis Bermejo. Rebellion’s Thriller Picture Library - The John Steel Files.

Great stories with beautiful art. A few years ago but still one of my favourites.

An escape from a prison that is built to bend your mind! The closer you get to freedom, the more twisted everything becomes TO KEEP YOU IN!

Yesterday’s quick sketch kinda reminds me of MadMen!

The pose taken from a hyperrealist (and highly superior) charcoal drawing by Robert Longo in the ‘70s

Because I’m a shameless, scribbly little magpie.

Loved playing around with bold 2D shapes, hard lighting and flattened out planes.

Such a change from the norm and so much fun!

An imperfect mid morning sketch. Reminds me of an apple, so sharing it anyway…

Sharing because I loved using this grungy green and pretty pink combo (plus those cool 1920s hats rock)

Miskatonic with @marksable.bsky.social and Giorgio Pontrelli. Colours by me (couple of years ago)

Sharing my daily wake-up doodle.

Always random, imperfect and fast - just enjoying the rare few moments of peace while my 1 yr old watches tv after breakfast.

Based loosely on a Man Ray photo.
