Angel 41 Preview

Angel issue 41 lands in funnybook stores throughout the land next wednesday the 26th of January. it's the first issue of the book that I've drawn in over a year, and working on it was like slipping into a favourite old pair of shoes, like I'd never been away. The script by David Tischman and Mariah Huehner is excellent, and lovely to work from. Well worth a read, I promise.
Above is my variant cover for the issue.

Please check out the preview HERE

More Angelverse work coming from me very soon.... it's good to be back.

Irish Times Christmas Illustration

A piece done for the BANG magazine supplement in today's Irish Times. Please pick it up! It's a great read.

Eclectic Micks Volume 2 Sketchbook launch

I'll be signing at the launch of the new Eclectic Micks sketchbook this coming Friday, at Forbidden Planet Dublin from 5-7pm(weather permitting! Lotta snow round these parts). Please drop in to say hi to myself and the other Micks in attendance(Dec Shalvey and Will Sliney so far), and maybe pick up a copy of the new book. Each one comes with a headsketch of a character of your choice, ala Watcher-Wesley here done for an Angel fan at the NYC con in october.

Willow and Spike

So it's been revealed that I'll be joining úber-scribe Brian Lynch on the second half of his new Spike series, and believe me, the script I've read so far is brilliant. A certain guest-star appears(Willow!) and she is so very mired in-character, it's a joy to behold. This is the Willow we know and love. I'm only a few pages into my first issue(5), and already I'm having a ball.
I'm taking over from the amazing Franco Urru for a few issues, as he's had to duck out for personal reasons. I'm sure he'll be back soon though, as you can only keep a man like that out of the game for so long!
This isn't the only project I've been working on for our editor, Mariah Huehner(this lady knows her stuff, class act all the way). Keep your eyes peeled for some other Angelverse artwork at some point soon...

Great to be back.

Angel

This is a cover I contributed to an upcoming issue of Angel. Didn't realise how much I missed working on the character until I drew the big lug once again.
I've been out of the Angelverse for too long.... lets see about rectifying that.

New York Comic Con

The Micks will have a table at next weekends NYCC, number R-12 in artists' alley. Please do drop by and say hi. Myself, Dec, Will and Len will be there representin' the auld country. We'll be hawking the new Eclectic Micks sketchbook, and also will have a very limited quantity of the first volume with us.  They're both super-aces.
Can't wait to get over there, always a blast and a half. Join us, won't you?

Here's a Shadow piece that i drew as part of an art swap at the con with Angelic Nick Runge. He's good people.

Moonstone Process

Here's the pencils and inks for the piece I did for this week's blog post over on the Eclectic Micks site, Moonstone of the Thunderbolts. You can see where I fixed/tightened up a lot of aspects in the inks, and then in the colours.
