Blast From The Past! Beano and Dandy Library Books.

My first introduction to the world of DC Thomson & Co. was way back in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Apart from getting the chance of working on the weekly Beano comic, I found myself involved with the Beano and Dandy Comic Library Books. The digest sized comic series format was 64 pages per issue, this featuring full solo characters of themed stories. It was a wonderfull chance to get to draw a variety of the characters ranging from Desperate Dan, Minnie the Minx, Korky the Cat to Roger the Dodger, Bash St. Kids, Smasher, etc.

Yet another Blast from the past!: SHAUN THE SHEEP.

Whilst I honestly loved working on WALLACE and GROMIT, I found drawing SHAUN THE SHEEP a mountain of fun. Even now, I try not to miss any of the Tv series, a really amazing character. Therefore, I've taken yet another liberty of posting a number of my comic pages for thy enjoyment!

Yet another Blast From My Past!: WALLACE & GROMIT.

Some 18 years or more, I had the joy of working on the WALLACE and GROMIT daily cartoon strip which appeared in the THE SUN national UK publication. This continued for three and a half years, with the added pleasure of working with fellow artists, BAMBOS GEORGIOU, JOHN BURNS and JIMMY HANSEN. I've taken the liberty of posting some of my original pencils, plus a number of the finished cartoon strips for your entertainment.

CHARLIE the Dog Detective.

Way back in the 1980s, I had the pleasure of not only meeting writer, ANDREW WOODING, who during the fellowing years would become an old friend, but apart from working together for many years on a Beano style kids comic entitled, PLUS, we equally had the fun in producing three books based on Wooders (as I've always called him) creation, CHARLIE THE DOG DETECTIVE. These can still be obtained, proving a good children's read.

Adventures of RATTUS HOLMES.

A few years ago, I had the pleasure of working yet again with friend and publisher, Ed Chatelier, of The Edge Group, in producing a series of three books based on the RATTUS HOLMES character. House pet to the famous, Sherlock Holmes, the books followed his wild adventures. What really pleased me was that all three books were connected to UNESCO and WaterAid.

Yet another Blast From The Past!: DUCKULA.

Duckula was and always will be a fun time of my 50 year involvement in the comic and cartoon industry. Having enjoyed producing artwork for the Duckula comic, I must admit to having equal fun for a brief time in producing storyboard artwork for the Duckula Tv series, Cosgrove Hall Productions. Therefore, I've gathered together a number of storyboard pics for your enjoyment. Wishing you my best.
