Jenny Greenteeth

For the Whitechapel forum challenge to redesign Jenny Greenteeth. "… a figure in English folklore. A river hag, she would pull children or the elderly into the water and drown them. She was often described as green-skinned, with long hair, and sharp teeth." Was chuffed this was chosen to appear on the Bleeding Cool website homepage. 

Judge Anderson

For the Weekly Themed Art Blog. Drawn at 3.30 - 6am after I was woken up by the neighbours downstairs who were playing loud music.

Amazing Adult Fantasy

Contribution from way back to Whitechapel, the Warren Ellis web forum. Brief was to create a cover for Amazing Fantasy (the comic that Spider-Man first appeared in). The idea is that the brief has been lost or there has been a bit of Chinese whispers and the title of the comic is now Amazing Adult Fantasy. 

Axel Pressbutton

Another Weekly Themed Art Blog contribution, the brief being 'Non-2000ad UK comic characters'. I first came across Axel Pressbutton (the psychotic cyborg) in the superb Warrior anthology comic which launched in 1982. Writen by Steve Moore and brilliantly drawn by Steve Dillon. The character first appeared in 1979, created by Pedro Henry (Steve Moore) and Curt Vile (Alan Moore). The full title of the original series was 'Dempster Dingbunger is my name, Sputwang is my nation, the depths of space gob in my face… the stars my degradation'. This image turned out to be so labour intensive I missed the blog deadline. 

Shakara!

My contribution to the Weekly Themed Art Blog. Shakara is no easy customer to draw but I guess that could be said about many 2000AD characters. As time was limited I drew this on paper – far speedier for me that drawing on computer.

The Return of Rico

Blast from the past here. 2000AD art comp entry from a few years ago, on the theme 'Classic 2000AD moments'. Based on the superb Pat Mills and Mike McMahon tale 'The Return of Rico' which really made an impact on me as a kid. It was like nothing I had come across on my diet of Marvel UK comics. The story revealed that Judge Dredd had a clone brother, Rico, who turned out to be a bent Judge who Dredd sentenced to twenty years hard labour on the prison colony of Titan – with body parts modified so he could breathe in a vacuum. Rico then came to take revenge on his brother. Reprinted in the excellent Judge Dredd Case Files 01.
