Antonella Graduated!

After a year's delay due to circumstances beyond her control, Antonella has graduated fro Lancaster University with an MA in Historical research - with distinction, I'll have you know. I'm tremendously proud of her. She's got the diploma framed and hanging on the wall next to her desk, and hanging right next to it is this drawing I did of her in her cap and gown.

She's wearing spotty pink wellies because she spent ages shopping for formal shoes to wear during the ceremony, and then ended up wearing an old pair because they were more comfortable. Just my little joke.

Walt Disney Death Telegram

The telegram sent to Disney offices worldwide announcing the death of Walt Disney just went on sale on Ebay.

Well, I'd buy it.

Little Red Politically Correct Riding Hood

So here's the thing. A couple of years ago I was trying to get some sleep after pulling several all-night sessions trying to meet a deadline. A friend phoned with a problem - he suddenly had a couple of blank pages in his comic, nothing to fill it with, and a print deadline looming. He had an old script he'd dug up, could I draw something quickly? So I did this. Then I went back to sleep.

 

Funny what you can come up with when you're essentially sleepwalking.

Script is by Clive Ward, by the way.

Der Kleine Baron 6

Part six of my Little Baron experiment. The rocket isn't exactly the same as Tin Tin's because I don't want to get sued.

Der Kleine Baron 5

Part five of my Little Baron sequence, introducing our Baron's sweetheart, the aviatrix Amelia Airheart (note spelling). Still no idea where this is going.

A slight re-working of a pre-existing illustration to create a dummy tour guide for Clementina Carosi's website. The Weltron Euroguides series never existed, but if it had, I'd have been sure to buy the complete series just to check out all the great illustrations by Nicholas Miller. Bless you, Les Editions Weltron, for all the work you gave this talented young illustrator!
