Argh! Zombies!!!


After just having finished writing a 4,500 word short story about zombie shelf stackers for my Creative Writing MA, I was pleased to receive the first page of art for another zombie related project I'm working on with Neil Alexander.

It's a four pager titled 'Dead Beats' which involves a group of zombies sat in a pub, chatting about the good old days when it was all lurching and shuffling and there wasn't any of that silly old 'running around an' chasing folk' business.

Anyway, enjoy the preview.

New Marren Kane Strip

Just finished lettering a brand new Marren Kane strip, illustrated by Tony Suleri. Hopefully it'll be appearing in Bulletproof Issue 4.

This strips a bit darker than usual, since Tony was working from a script I'd written (rather than our usual Kane method, which is for Tony to draw all the art first, then send it to me to put some words on). Still, it has Death By Spoon in it, so there's plenty of light hearted moments in there too.

Hope you enjoy the preview, and I'll post some more art from other projects later in the week.
