Gerry Adams seemed the obvious foil to Dr P. I was struck by how much older he looks since the last time I drew him. Ian too, for that matter.

Today (or really yesterday as it is now way past bedtime) was a day to start with some new political caricatures. I haven't done much of this since that last batch of mugs I designed. Please enjoy as I present the force of nature that is Dr Paisley.

Some more caricature work. This time I have rendered the sketches completely in Illustrator. I find I get lost inside my own head when working on stuff like this. A great feeling of accomplishment to think I still get so engrossed.

While I am in the mood for posting antiheroes here is Gotham's Finest.

It seems somehow right that as I am posting Mega City's top Judge here that New York's finest - Judge Judy - is on television in the background.

This is all done in Illustrator and, unusually for me, all done onscreen. Usually I scan a thumbnail sketch first. But since I have grown up with Joe Dredd here since this month 29 years ago, I suppose I know him well enough. The best Dredd artist bar none is Ian Gibson. I hope you can see his influence here.

Late night here & the urge to create has taken over. I decided to flesh out a thumbnail sketch I did the other night. About an hour's work in Illustrator.

I like working at night. The telly is on as background noise and most everyone else is probably asleep out there in The Oul' Sod.

In viewing other blogs it seems that a lot of fellow artists find it a good place to post their sketch work. Seems right to follow suit then.

This character you will be be seeing again soon methinks. He is the nasty little piece of work known as Po Boy. All genius and all bad.

I visited Prague as part of my honeymoon.

On the Church of St Vitus there were some incredible gargoyles.
Thanks to a very good Zoom lens & my trusty Canon EOS I caught some in mid - well - gargoyling.

A little Photoshopping later and here you are. A tad Heavymetallish but there you go.

About time I started a blog. Not sure what I'll find myself saying as this progresses but I'm sure I'll pick up momentum as I go along.

Meet fishboy.
