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.

I hasten to add that I consider this time well spent. One of the many weekends was spent at the Bristol Comic Expo. This was the first time I have visted the convention and I have to say it will definitely not be the last. I had an amazing time. Attended some talks, got some books signed by Andy Diggle and Jock, spent way too much money on more comics and saw Coraline 3D which was spell binding. Apparently the event was scaled down this year but this didn’t stop me from being overwhelmed and very star struck. I assure you the last three months haven’t just be used to gallivant around the country, I have been working.

The first of these projects to bare fruit is an article I wrote for AlertNerd.com for the fourth issue of their PDF zine Grok. This time it’s all about Extra Life. Head over to the link above to download your free copy.

Secondly, I’m still working on the art for Mark Clapham’s story The Beast Within for Accent UK’s 2010 anthology Predators. And then in 2011 the Victoriana anthology will contain a story by myself entitled Aspirations & Appirations. There is an artist attached but I’ll post more on that as it happens.

Black Sol is now called Singularity and is moving forward faster than the high velocity star it contains. I have also created a one and done comic which I’ll post up here over the weekend. Yep that’s me kind of saying I won’t leave it so long next time (again).
