Introduction

I'm a freelance illustrator with a fierce (and frankly, dangerous) imagination. This blog is where I quarantine my creations long enough to deem them safe to move on to my website.

If you think I can help with your project, want to offer words of encouragement or simply say hi, feel free to get in touch.

If you want to be updated on my undertakings, then subscribe to this blog using the little box belowand you'll be informed every time I trap something and haul it (screaming and from time to time, kicking) into reality.

JUDGEMENT DAY

While its been several years since i picked up a copy of any of 2000AD's titles I cant deny that they were a staple part of my cultural diet throughout my teens and a stack of well thumbed issues still reside under my desk (Its been said that I'm something of a hoarder), too loved to throw away.

Its often said that the best characters can be identified from nothing more than a silhouette. While this maybe true, its possible to create a character that is identifiable through far less than that, Judge Dredd being a fine example.

Taking this into account I wanted to try and convey the strength, brutality and utter lack of humanity Dredd possesses with as little info (and time) as possible. That said and done, I think I could have gone far more minimalist and still delivered.

Lets hope Hollywood manages the same. This time.
