A brief CV of my work in comics
 |
I've produced strips for numerous publications including VIZ; BEANO SUMMER SPECIAL; BUSTER; OINK!; FUN-SIZE DANDY; FUN-SIZE BEANO; SONIC THE COMIC; WHITE DWARF; GHOSTBUSTERS; TRANSFORMERS, and national newspapers DAILY STAR and SUNDAY SPORT. I've also written articles on the history of comics for publications such as 2000 AD,THE COMICS JOURNAL, and the BBC website.
In 1989 I illustrated the short story "The Glut", written by Dave (Watchmen) Gibbons for Knockabout's SEVEN DEADLY SINS book.
Over the years, my characters have enjoyed long and popular runs, such as ten years for "Tom Thug" in BUSTER and four years for "Combat Colin" in Marvel's TRANSFORMERS comic. I was also a regular writer on SONIC THE COMIC for seven years.
The past two decades have seen major changes to the UK comics market, but I have always adapted to maintain regular work in the industry. Having worked for publications for all age groups, my work has appeared in such diverse titles as CiTV TELLYTOTS and LEGO ADVENTURES for the nursery market, to VIZ and SWEET FA for the adult reader.
In recent years I have expanded my work overseas as well as the UK. In 1997 I created THE SUBURBAN SATANISTS for Egmont where it ran for 10 years in the Swedish and Norewegian editions of HERMAN HEDNING comic.
2005 saw the publication of BRICKMAN BEGINS for the Los Angeles based publisher Active Images and since 2006 I have been creating a regular BRICKMAN strip for the monthly ELEPHANTMEN comic published in the USA by Image Comics.
My current regular assignments include:
Script and art for Team Toxic in Toxic fortnightly magazine.
Script, art, colouring on Mini Marvels for Spectacular Spider Man.
Script, art and colouring on Brickman in Elephantmen for Image Comics.
Script and artwork on various strips occasionally for VIZ comic, including Felix and His Amazing Underpants and Suicidal Syd.
Artwork on a new series for The Beano (more news soon).
