MORE FAN ART - THE O MEN!

I know I said that I wouldn't be doing anymore fan art for a while but I didn't bank on the O Men making a triumphant return in the pages of Spandex #5 (thanks Mart!). I was so thrilled that I just had to draw a little picture. It's based on a panel from page 14 of the latest issue of the O Men. Wanna know how they compare? Well, you'll have to buy Spandex #5 won'tcha?

Definitely the last piece of fan art.

FAN ART - THE ABNORMALS!

So here's my rendition of Grant Springford's The Abnormals, with a slight nod to his previous comic Pest Control. A cast of strange characters uncovering even stranger phenomenon in the UK. Copies can be ordered from theabnormals.co.uk.

Right that's enough of this fan art marlarkey, I've got comics to draw!

FAN ART - SUGAR GLIDER!

Recently picked up issue one of Gary Bainbridge and Daniel Clifford's Sugar Glider from Orbital Comics and loved it so much I just had to do some fan art. I do like me some UK super heroes, especially when they are based in different cities across the country and not just London. Trouble Bruin is based in Birmingham and Sugar Glider is set in Newcastle. It would be nice if all these titles could be published under one roof: a distinctly British super hero comics universe to rival the Americans'.

Anyway, check out the Sugar Glider Comics Facebook page for more info.

FAN ART - TROUBLE BRUIN!

Here we go, Matthew Craig's Mighty Midlander - Trouble Bruin! (with apologies to Frank Miller). This book is one of my favourite small press books of the last few years. It's a really touching story and better than a comic with an aging teddy boy and a kid in a bear suit has any right be! Copies can be ordered from thematthewcraig.com

SMALLVILLE

So long SMALLVILLE, I may have fallen in and out of love with you several times over the last 10 years but I'm still gonna miss ya. C'mon Warner Bros. surely there's room for a Smallville/Justice League spin-off movie?

FAN ART: MIKE NEVILLE VS TEDDY SCARE BEAR!

Some more fan art for ya, this time of the thrilling first meeting of Teddy Scare Bear and Ben Clarks adventurer/crime fighter/local broadcast legend MIKE NEVILLE! Ben is the creator of many crazy funny comics, such as Mike Neville, Punchasaurus and Griefbringer (among others). He's got loads of them up on his blog - magicbeanscomics.blogspot. Check 'em out, your ribs are sure to be tickled!

WORLD WAR BEARS!

Currently working on completing other mini comics but fret not, Teddy will return next year in the comic book event series to end all event series - WORLD WAR BEARS! (with respect and apologies to those whose work I've re-imagined for the above pic). And I'm sure he'll pop up in some of the fan art pieces I've got planned for the next couple of weeks.

I made use of some Computones plug ins I have in Paint Shop Pro to fill out the background on this piece. Not sure how people feel about the use of this stuff outside of the usual grey tones but I don't really have a problem with it. As long as it all looks good it's fair game, I think.
