Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker (1979)

When a man is born, he is soft and pliable.  When he dies, he is strong and hard. When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable.  But when it's dry and hard, it dies. Hardness and strength are death's companions.  Flexibility and softness are the

Dr. Illuminati! Goose! Shark fist! Kid Danger! Oh MY!

Finally got a chance to colour some of Nathan Wahl's artwork! I've been a huge fan of his style for a few years now, and he posesses a seemingly endless well of cool character names and designs. Clockwise from top! * Dr. Illuminati * Shark Fist * Bug Boy?

Galaxy Warriors (5 stars!)

Without hesitation, my second favourite film of 2023 is Galaxy Warriors. A tight script, great characters, and so much heart and FUN! Thrilled to have this poster going up on my wall signed by the film's writer Janet Heatherington and movie poster artists Ronn Sutton and Geof Isherwood!

Stan Lee

This was a phenomenal weekend. I met Stan Lee. Yes, THE Stan Lee, who is responsible for co-creating and promoting the stable of superheroes of Marvel Comics that was my playground as a boy. At almost 90 years old, Lee looks great and is still as sharp as a knife.

Colour Deconstruction - an in depth look at atmospheric perspective

Last week, Dark Horse Comics released the book Chronicles of Conan Vol. 21: Blood of the Titan. I coloured issue #166, and think it was some of my finest work! Here is the opening splash page, and I think it's possibly one of my favourite colouring jobs I&

Amazing Spider-Man Masterworks vol. 13

Below is a page that I did colour restoration on from Amazing Spider-Man Masterworks vol. 13, on sale this week! I handled the colouring on Amazing Spider-Man #130, which was ridiculously time consuming. Ross Andru's art looks simple enough, until you start working on it! That last panel,

The Chronicles of Conan Volume 20: Night of the Wolf and Other Stories

Dark Horse Comics have posted preview images of my work on the next installment of their Chronicles of Conan series! I still get a kick out of seeing my name in the credits at the bottom of the first page up alongside such greats as Jim Shooter, Larry Hama and
