WWE Superstars - The Undertaker

Boy, has THIS one been difficult for me to keep quiet about! As a long-time fan of WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment), I am incredibly proud to be able to announce that I have done the cover art for issue 10 of WWE SUPERSTARS, published by Super Genius! This is something special for me, as not only is it my first ever published cover for an American comic-book, but it's also the UNDERTAKER!!! My all-time favourite professional wrestler! Not only that, but the comic is written by none other than the hardcore wrestling legend MICK FOLEY!!! This is definitely a dream come true for yours truly, and I'd like to think WWE SUPERSTARS editor Jim Salicrup for giving me this opportunity! For more info on this, and other issues of WWE SUPERSTARS, please visit the Super Genius website!

I'd like to dedicate this cover to the late, great William "Paul Bearer" Moody,
who was kind enough to feature some of my Undertaker artwork on his webpage.

SCARdiff!

I am going to be a guest at this year's SCARdiff convention on Sunday, 19th October at the Cardiff Masonic Hall... this is my second year attending this convention, and it's going to be great to be there again! I thought I would do a variant print of my RAMPAGING HULK cover, which will debut exclusively at the event. This variant features the television incarnation of the Hulk (as portrayed by Lou Ferrigno), and is based from an idea I had years ago, where I imagined Bill Bixby's David Banner turning up in a small town called Salem's Lot (yes, THAT Salem's Lot... specifically the version featured in the classic 1976 made-for-TV two-parter starring David Soul and James Mason). This image is based on that idea... hope you like it!

Dethias... Battleborn

Here's another album cover I worked on for a local up-and-coming heavy metal band called Dethias (you can listen to their new track BATTLEBORN here!). I'm really pleased with how this turned out... I tried a different style of colouring for this, and wanted to give it a Conan the Barbarian feel. Big thanks to colour artist extraordinaire Jason Cardy for both getting me the gig, and also for the sky/moon background!
