James Bond week Part 1

So, a few years ago I was commissioned by Penguin Random House to work as a concept designer for a new James Bond title. I wasn't brought on to create the final cover, I was working purely as a concept artist. I had absolutely no brief other than to come up with some ideas for what I thought a Bond book should look like. This has to be one of the most enjoyable corporate jobs I've ever undertaken, I knew immediately what I wanted to do: tap into Bond's vintage crime fiction heritage!

Over the next few days I'll show you the results, here's the first few...

Next Week is BOND week!

Oh, and remember we're at the Nottingham Comic Convention tomorrow! See you there!

The Illustrator's Guidebook - now funding on Kickstarter!

So, you may remember 21 Draw, the artbook I was involved in last year which became the most funded art project ever on IndieGogo.

Well, the 21 Draw guys are back with The Illustrator's Guidebook, a staggering new book of in-depth tutorials from the world's best comic, game and animation artists, covering topics including anatomy, perspective, character design, composition and landscapes, to name a few.

The list of artists involved in this project is unbelievable, and I'm so proud to be among them, this really will be an unmissable book for any creator looking to learn and improve FAST!

The book only has three weeks left on Kickstarter, so GO HERE and order your copy before it's too late!
