SWEENEY TODD PANELS
















Some of you may remember I've been working on a Sweeney Todd graphic novel adaptation for quite a while. Well, I've made some headway on the book in the last couple of weeks. About bloody time. Here's some panels from a recent page.

28 Days Later #2 Page 12





















Here's a page (pencils and inks) from #2 of 28 Days Later. I'll show some stuff from #3 soon, but i just wanted to show one more page from the previous issue first.

I remember finding the layouts for this page pretty tricky but was pretty pleased with the end result.

I heard #3 has sold out already. What a crazy, crazy world we all live in.

BICS IRON FISTS

Strangely enough, the most requested sketch of my weekend at BICS was not Infected/ zombie-like characters, but was in fact Iron Fist. I had a folder of Eclectic Micks sketches, one of which being this Iron Fist that everyone likes, so i reckon that's why i got so many requests for auld Danny Rand.

This is probably my favourite one.





















I made a stupid, stupid mistake with this one and drew him with two flowing hands instead of one.
He's not Iron Fists Dec ....you idiot!
















A very noir-y sketch.




















And finally a really loose and rough sketch.
This was the very last one of the weekend, so was a little more rushed, and i was at my most tired.
Sue me.

BICS 2009

Back today from the British International Comics Show (BICS) and have to say, i had a brilliant time. So very, very tired now though. Sold a good few Eclectic Micks sketchbooks and did a lot of sketches. I charged for the first time ever, but i'm kinda glad i did, as i put a lot of work into the sketches and was so tired by the end of the day. Having a bit money in my pocket by the end eased the pain.















So, i would just like to say thanks to all who stopped by the Eclectic Micks table, got a sketch, bought a book, and to everyone who came up to me and said nice things about my work on 28 Days Later. It was very surprising and even more so appreciated.

Above is a photo from the launch party (borrowed from Martin Tierney's Facebook album) with the following Vogue-ing it all up; IDW's ANGEL; After The Fall artist Stephen Mooney, his lovely wife Jacintha, Image Comics' CHOKER writer Ben McCool, myself, DC editor Michael Wright and artist of Boom's FARSCAPE ongoing series Will Sliney

I took photos of nearly all the sketches i did. I'll post some in the next few days. First; here's some bunny-themed ones. Strange i ended up doing 3 bunny-type drawings. First, a sketch of Paul Grist's Mr. Floppsie Woppsie.





















Next; Usagi Yojimbo





















And finally; Zatanna

OFF TO BIRMINGHAM

















Just getting ready for this year's British International Comics Show (BICS) in Brimingham. Off to Brum tomorrow. I'll be at the Eclectic Micks table with PJ Holden, Stephen Mooney and Will Sliney. I'll have original art from 28 Days Later, copies of #1 and the above Eclectic Micks sketchbook (which looks lov-er-ly as you can see above) all for sale. I'll most likely be at the Classical Comic table at some stage too.

Really looking forward to the con. I always have a blast at Brum.

Dec.

PS. I think i'll be charging (a little) for sketches this year, but if ye buy any of the above, i'll do one for free.
