Dr. Who, The Tardis, Space and Time

Space and Time

The Tardis is about space, time and a little bit of math.

This is available on my Society6 page

Chewbacca

Chewie

Here's my take on everyone's favourite fuzzball.

I remember loving Star Wars as a kid, then hating it around 1999 (Not you Liam or Ewan, you've done what you can with what you had been given).
There is a new hope that I will love it again in 2015:)

Quick Draw

This space cowboy, possibly pirate... shoots first, second and even third.

Another character design from my one day down the road comic. 

I've posted this artwork to my society6 site.

Doctor Who - Tardis

Traveling through time and space

Like a lot of scifi geeks out there I love me some Doctor Who, so what kind of fan would I be without a Tardis in the mix? As a Whovian, but I prefer the term Wholigan... (can't believe that never stuck), here is my rendition of the Doctor's Tardis spinning through the vortex of time and space.

Geronimo!

I also made these available on society6.

Daring Escape

A little daring adventure scene of two characters from my somewhere down the line self published comic.
I tend to draw these scenes and fill in the blanks later when it comes to the story. So I guess this is a panel from my somewhere down the line self published comic.

I wonder how they got into this predicament....

Space Ape

Space Apes are classic.

What kind of scifi junkie would I be if I didn't include my take on a monkey from space? Short answer, a bad one.

This fearless space explorer will live as a character in my hopefully one day self published comic.

RIP Ray Bradbury

Another drawing from my vault.

When Ray Bradbury passed away we, as well as the world of science fiction, lost a great voice and imagination. 

This illustration was used in an article published after his passing. I tried to incorporate as many of his stories as I could in this piece. We have The Illustrated Man pouring out some Dandelion Wine while holding a copy of Farenheit 451, and even The Martian Chronicles can be found in the tattoos. 

Thanks for the inspiration.
RIP Ray.

Marching Robots

Here's a before and after of a robot design I've been working on for a bit. The original was a doodle ink on paper that I then scanned and turned into a silkscreen tee, found here http://www.geekssociety.com/

I've always liked this robot and I wanted to use it for a character in a comic I'm working on... so here he is, new and improved.

ZZZZZAP!

A little retro pulp ray gun action.

Dick Tracy

I love the old pulp style, so here's my attempt at a classic. Created by Chester Gould here's my version of the original no-nonsense police detective Dick Tracy with the famous 2-way wrist radio.

Adventure has a name

Indiana Jones!

Originally a drawing for an article on the future of archaeology, I've reworked this concept to be a one colour silk screened tee and print.

I've made this design available both on my page on society6

It's Superman

Came across this 2012 illustration that I did for another article at work. Drawn after an Alex Ross Superman pose.


Now Screening

Here's a little illustration I did for an article about screening films. Not much but always a bonus when you draw for your pay.

Random character sketch

Something I'm working on... not entirely sure if this weirdo is creeping up behind our space gal or teamed up with her.

After TCAF 2013

I want to draw comics.

I went to TCAF, met lots of great people and I was inspired by everyone who is following the dream, their dream. It has rejuvenated my passion to draw comics. It hasn't ever really gone out, there's always been a spark deep down but its become a small spark over the years. That flicker of fire always seems to get pushed aside by one thing or another. I just always figure I'll get to it, next week, next month, next year.

No more.

I'm making a go at this whole comics business. Fingers crossed. Wish me luck:)


Future Uncertain.
