One Man Army show photos

Hey folks, here's a few snaps from the opening night of my One Man Army exhibition, thank you SO much to all the good folks who came down on the night, it was extremely cool to see you all! A very special thank you also goes to my bro, who curated the show for me, and did a spectacular job. All that, and he'd only accept beer as payment! Cheers Bobby!

We were totally blown away by the response to the work, with about eighty percent of the show having sold by the end of the opening weekend. The exhibition runs until the 24th April.

BIG news coming very soon for all you sketchbook fans!!!

One Man Army opens this Friday (26th march)!

Hey folks, a little sneak peek at a couple of the paintings I've been working on for my show.

These are in- progress shots, so they weren't quite finished when these snaps were taken, but I hope you like 'em anyway! They're just under A1 in size, and are acrylic, gouache, ink and marker on wood. They'll all be framed and under glass.

Right, I hope to see any of you folks who are in the area on Friday, the night runs from 6pm - 10pm at the Weapon of Choice Gallery here in Bristol.

See you there!

Lorenzo!

Show blurb:

"One Man Army unceremoniously opens up the bizarre mind of comic book artist Lorenzo! and spills it all across the walls of the Weapon of Choice Gallery. Featuring a series of graphic portraits of individuals who fall comfortably into the category of "best left alone" this cast of miscreants are a visual snapshot of Dark Pop for the post-Gorillaz generation. Alongside the seven big new paintings are a series of exclusive ONE OF ONE prints, restored from the archives and splashed with all the colours in the paint box that the other kids were too scared to use. Expect robots, monkeys, robot monkeys, the undead and the soon-to-be-dead. This is Uranium at Lead prices."

9 days until show opening!

Hey folks, another of the prints from my One Man Army solo show opening Friday 26th.



Enjoy!

Lorenzo!

Twilight Comic News!

Okay, that title may be SLIGHTLY misleading. The Twilight in question is actually Anakin Skywalker's Starship, but that doesn't make it any less exciting!

Yes, it's Clone Wars time again, with a tale written by me and illustrated by the ever excellent Tanya Roberts!


It's a new month and a new adventure for the intrepid Jedi as Anakin and Ahsoka (ably assisted by Rex) respond to a distress call from a stranded Trade vessel. Unfortunately for our heroes, nothing in deep space is ever quite what is seems...


Issue 6.5 is in the shops (and supermarkets!) now so grab yourself a copy before stocks run out.

GO HERE - to subscribe to the comic and never miss an issue again!

It’s the 1st of the Month and it’s a Monday, which can only mean one thing - BIG PHAT CHUNKY COMIC NEWS DAY!


Regular readers of this blog, and our former studioblinktwice blogspot, will have heard tell of numerous book deals that we completed last year. We’ve already announced our first volume, Monkey Nuts: The Diamond Egg of Wonders (more exciting info on that one coming soon) but today is NEW book day!

We are currently to be found embedded in our little Bristol studio, working side by side and living off a diet of tea, coffee, cream soda and toast as we painstakingly produce page after glorious page for our next sequential adventure - a bande dessinée format graphic tale to be released as part of the 2011 DFC Library line-up.

Entitled BAGGAGE, it tells the tale of … oooooooooooh! You almost tricked us there! No, this is one story that is best savoured in small delectable slices and as such we will be drip-feeding you exclusives and teasers each month. Trust us ... you’re in safe hands...

To whet the appetite (lot of eating references today ... must be hungry!) here’s our first teaser pic. Paint your desktop with this bad boy and spread the word. The BAGGAGE is coming home...

5 Weeks to One Man Army Exhibition!

So, the clock is ticking away, and it's now just under 5 weeks until the opening of my Solo exhibition One Man Army here in Bristol. As mentioned before, the show will feature 7 new paintings and a series of new prints, all limited to truly exclusive runs of ONE. That's right, there'll be just one of each of the prints, so if you get one, you know it's properly exclusive, and yours will be the only wall it'll be hanging on! Today's web flyer features one of these prints, enjoy!

Details of how to get to the gallery can be found HERE

To misquote Han Solo ... I have a GOOD feeling about this...

Calling all Star Wars fans, young and old! I'm proud to announce that the latest issue of Titan's Star Wars comic, featuring a ten-page tale of action and intrigue written by me, has finally landed! In 'Droid Deception' the inimatable Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu lead a surprise attack against a battleship workshop located in deep space. But when dealing with the seperatists, nothing is ever as easy as it first appears...

For a sneak peek of the story, beautifully illustrated by Andres Ponce, read on.

Keep your eyes glued to the blog for more Star Wars news. There are many more heroic tales to come!
