Got done with colouring up this Metal Gear Solid print for Sean Gordon Murphy, will be available through SDCC. Lot of fun getting the details right, stickler for those me. Now I need to play the game again, never finished it as a kid, best dig out the old ps1 this week.
Oooh, almost forgot about this one. Sean and I did a Lobo card for the Upper Deck DC Platinum series due out end of September. This is the version with blood on the hook, published version was unbloodied. Can't wait to spend all my money trying to pull my own card...
the 2nd of the main covers for 'The Last Driver' #2 (again, due 23rd Sept from Image Comics). Lines again from Sean Gordon Murphy, colours from me.
One of the covers from 'The Last Driver' #2 (due out from Image Comics on the 23rd Sept... also available from Urban Comics in France as well in a collected format). Lines from Sean Gordon Murphy, colours from me. Firebird, in the Camaro... what a dude (you'll find out if you're reading it).
So, The Last Driver #1 (Image/Urban comics) sold out at the distributor level, and has gone to 2nd print. Had to rush out colours for this alternative cover quick as I could today, but Homages basically colour themselves really. Escape from New York homage cover. Lines from Sean Gordon Murphy.
After I finished colouring up the last cover for 'The Last Driver', I had an idea for a cover of my own, so I ran with the idea for a few hours and came out with this. Sean loved it, so it's now a store variant cover for 'The Last Driver' from Image. Go me and my one good idea ;)

I've become my mom... I'm 'cooking' my kids the UK hot day staple dinner of boiled eggs, ham and salad. Let's see if they hate it as much as I did.
The final cover I coloured for 'The Last Driver #1' (Image/Urban Comics, coming soon from Sean Gordon Murphy). A New Mutants #87 homage from Ryan Ottley and myself.
The Matteo Scalera variant cover for The Last Driver #1 from Image/Urban comics respectively (I think this is an Image exclusive cover, not sure at the moment). Lines from Matteo Scalera, with colours from me.
Cover 'B' for The Last Driver #1, from Image/Urban Comics respectively. Lines from Sean again with colours from me. I'll update everyone once we know a release date that's firm.
Last Driver #1 coming from Sean Gordon Murphy, published through Image Comics, and also through Urban Comics in France. 5 issues of high octane driving madness, think Kurt Russell taking Escape from New York in a new direction... but with more cars.

I got to colour up this Shaolin Cowboy cover from Ryan Ottley late last year (got asked to colour the book itself, but unfortunately didn't have the space in the schedule... and it's a dream book dammit, I was bummed at turning that one down!). Maybe next time, Geof has my number now lol 😉

Little morning colour piece before I start pages, the ever welcome Spidey 2099, lines from Robert Atkins.
Eleven years ago I commissioned @amartinezbueno.bsky.social to draw a Karate Kid vs. Storm Shadow commission for me, and this year I asked @simongough2099.bsky.social to color it! Both artists are amazingly talented and did incredible work! www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece...
Ugh, I really need to keep on top of posting stuff from ages back, got endless pages, covers and commissions to post... social media drains me though with the endless grind of self promotion. Anyway, rant over, old Scarlet Spider from, pfft, ages ago. Lines from Kevin Castaniero, colours from me.

Half hour mess about this morning before pages. Thanos, an oldie from Gerardo Zaffino, splash of colours from me.
Showing off the whole uncropped Transformers cover I got to do a year or so back with Sean Gordon Murphy, thought it had got lost in limbo, turns out Hasbro are using it for the 'The Transformers: The Movie Deluxe Edition' hardcover collection. I'm cool with that 😉
