Glorious technicolour!


The first fruit of some photoshop colour tuition...reckon this is at least up to greetings card standards!

We've all been approached buy urchins asking us to buy them booze, haven't we? Well, one day, the urchin may come in handy!

Signing off, Alex.

Method Football


Another cartoon that emerged from a brainstorming session with my mysterious collaborator, the sinister bureaucrat Noor Salik.

This ended up having a bit of a retro feel, probably because the players (and ball) look a bit old fashioned...it seemed sensible to put in an industrial looking background.

DaVinci vs Dragon's Den


This is the result of a brainstorming session with a friend, during which the theme 'invention' came up.

Hope this works and makes sense...if you're not sure re the invention, google 'DaVinci's flying machine'!

The Free Rangers


A new Free Rangers...was thinking here about how they might respond to the recent riots in London.

For a couple of previous Free Rangers strips, see earlier in this here blog (late 2009).

U2 in a U2



The strip manifestation of a silly idea I had featuring everyone's favourite Irish rock behemoth.

I've done two versions of this, the second being a result of some messing about on photoshop.

First Storyboard


Another bit of Storyboard, this is a whole scene so a better example of 'shotflow' (if that is a word!).

First Storyboard...


Recently worked on a storybaord for a short film, which is, I am reliably informed, going to be screened on TV at some point this year.

Here's a page of storyboard.
