The Nogard
The Nogard is a delightful children's book created by my old friend and writer, Stuart Medland aka Stuart Meadowland. It invites the young reader into the lives of a family who end up with a rather special guest in their home, in short, a Nogard, (dragon backwards, of course). I had the pleasure of producing both the cover and b/w interior cartoons.

Aachan Solvitz The Case of the Missing Playboy
However, all's well that ends well. Even the sheep were pleased with their hair cut!
The cartoons shown were simply a very small section of the full amount produced.

Jumping ahead, our detective helps to guide the long lost son home again, needless to say, at first not all are too pleased to see him...

Aachan Solvitz The Case of the Missing Playboy
The prodigal heads for the busy bright lights of city night life...Aachan Solvitz The Case of the Missing Playboy
As already mentioned, I had the real pleasure of producing the artwork for a second children's story entitled, Aachan Solvitz and the Case of the Missing Playboy, all thanks to Paul Thompson's Digital Dimensions studio. Again we were to see our Philip Marlowe type detective take on the well known story of The Prodigal Son.
The following postings will cover a number of cartoons produced for the script, hope that they provide as much fun looking at them as it did drawing them.
This one shows the prodigal requesting his money from dear old Dad!
Aachan Solvitz intro.
When I was asked by Paul Thompson of Digital Dimensions to work on a new children's Dvd series, I knew that the concept of presenting the well known story of The Good Samaritan as a 1940s detective tale was going to be fun. The main character of Aachan Solvitz was to be based on the famous actor, Humphrey Bogart, as he played the role of private eye, Philip Marlowe in such old movies as The Big Sleep. Whilst for some reason it didn't enter the final finished work, I recall wanting to name his faithful camel, Chandler, as after the great writer himself, Raymond Chandler.
The first children's Dvd called Aachan Solvitz and the Case of the Missing Body is shown for your enjoyment, what will follow this posting will be a number of pieces of artwork from the second Dvd, this based on The Prodigal Son, entitled, Aachan Solvitz and the Case of the Missing Playboy.

Missing Links
Over the past number of years, I've had the pleasure of working on a number of projects with old friend and writer, Andrew Wooding. Whilst producing the Do-Do Man comics, Wooders came up with an idea that wasn't just fun to create, but also would help provide answers to what has become the myth, the legend, even the enigma of what we now call...The Missing Link!
What follows are the five pages which originally appeared in Do-Do Man issue 4. All details are based on true facts and no Links were harmed during the production of this story.

Blind Date Sidney
Back in the 90s when Do-Do Man was co-created by my partner, Sarah Sier and myself, one of the enjoyments was to introduce Sidney into the comic book. Following on from the recently shown four page strip, the character, (co-created by writer, Andrew Wooding and my good self) went on to his next four page strip entitled, Blind Date Sidney. As with Do-Do Man, he exists in the fictitious city of Shefferham, an amalgamation of Sheffield and Rotherham of South Yorkshire. This titanic tale involves our Sidney encountering joke shops, Cilla Black's Blind Date Show to evil aliens. Well, it seemed to make sense at the time! All good fun.

Sidney in Reservoir Sidney.
Welcome to the strange, weird...and of course, funny world of Sidney!
Created back in 1997 by writer, Andrew Wooding and myself, Sidney was based on a very real and wonderful person. There are no rules to the reality surrounding him, but what we would call beyond belief, to Sidney, it's the norm! The following four pages show him in his comic book debut, namely Do-Do Man the series, issue #1, January 1997. As well as appearing in this title, he also went on to appear in other publications.
