The Marvel Stadium Walk of Legends comes alive! Inspired by iconic walks of fame, this installation at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne celebrates Marvel characters through a series of commemorative plaques. Here’s a look at how I adapted my original plaque designs into fabulous full colour.

In early 2025, I was asked to create ten Superman artworks for Upper Decks DC Legendary deck building game. Here is how I approached drawing an icon who has to feel powerful, human and hopeful. Published by: @upperdeckent #DC #Superman #UpperDeck #Comics #Illustration

Superman in the Fortress of Solitude I wanted him to feel iconic against the towering crystal forms, with the icy environment making the red and blue of the suit really pop. At the same time, I wanted to suggest that beneath the bold exterior is someone thoughtful, sensitive and deeply caring.

IN A WORLD OF HER OWN (2016) Acrylic on Canvas - 36" x 48" This painting arose from musing on an interview that Stanley Kubrick gave in 1968, a source of inspiration I have gone back to over the years, revisiting comments made by the director. 1/3

Heading to the cinema to see Paprika tonight. I've not seen it before, so I'm excited for the trippy, mind-bending visuals on the big screen.

A few years back I drew this Galactus & Silver Surfer piece as a private commission and after seeing the new Fantastic Four movie, it felt like the perfect time to share it again. #Galactus #SilverSurfer #FantasticFour #jackkirby #stanlee #Marvel #PencilArt

I had the pleasure of designing an official Deadpool X Wrexham artwork for Marvel Stadium in Melbourne. The mural itself was painted up by Apparition Media. This was a fun project, mixing Marvel mayhem, football energy, and the chaos of multiple Deadpool variants plus Wolverine on the pitch. ⚽

New artwork I created feat. DAVE BAUTISTA as Jake from AFTERBURN, inspired by the just released trailer for the upcoming film! The movie is based on the Afterburn comic series I concepted and illustrated for Red 5 Comics in 2007. Watch the official trailer now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=whiD... 4 m
