Woke this morning to an email from Mere Mortals, the LA based rock band and the results of a project I worked on a while ago. The Japanese release of their album, entitled ‘Rebel Radio’, will be out on November the 4th sporting the above album artwork by myself.

Daken: Rising Son

KLJ3 — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 22:11:00 +0000

With Norman Osborn holding a Dark Reign over the Marvel Universe I’ve been introduced to the character of Daken, Wolverine’s son. Aside from his pheromone-based emotion manipulation powers, I love the idea of the character having fallen very far from the tree. Daken is a young man of wealth, culture and breeding (no pun intended, his name is Japanese for mongrel). I would love to see him written as a Bret Easton Ellis character, part charmer, part snob, all sociopath. This is where this image was born from.

40 Days and 40 Nights

KLJ3 — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 00:36:00 +0000

Give or take a few days but I like to feel this has been some kind of blogging related lent for any one who visits this site. This blog will hopefully fill in that month and a half gap and assure you I have been busy. First all if you aren’t being fed this through a web syndicator then you’ve probably noticed the redesign from the standard template which was more than over due.

Back at the beginning of February I was approached by indie horror director Stacy Davidson to…I’ve said too much. Here is a link to Stacy’s film company Odyssee Pictures and an article on his blog and below is the trailer to his latest film Sweat Shop. Just as tantalizing tidbits.

After spending almost three years as an idea somewhere in the back of my mind and on various scraps of paper around my desk I have finally started work on Obscura. This is a small comic I hope to finish and self-publish before Bristol International Comics Expo in May. Here is a glimpse at some of the early artwork.

As if the above wasn’t good enough. I’m also going to be contributing artwork to AccentUK‘s 2010 anthology Predators. I’m providing the artwork for Mark Clapham‘s words. It is a really great story entitled The Beast Within with an equally great script and I can’t wait to get started. It’s going to be so much fun.

So there you are a pretty busy and productive forty or so days. Told ya.

PS. Kevin Barry has started up a blog over at http://www.kmbarry.blogspot.com. He has posted some of the intial art for his comic Undying Faces. You really should take a look.

Heavens To Betsy Braddock (Psylocke)

This is a piece I did of Psylocke as a cover concept really. It was spotted and I have been invited to contribute to a project but more on that later.
