David Cronenberg Interview Illustration

David Cronenberg

Another cool thing on the art front is that one of my toons is currently being used to illustrate an interview with the film Director David Cronenberg for the 'Los Angeles Review of Books' website. This is particularly awesome as I have been a fan of David's work for many a year now. The interview is written by Jonathan Penner. Long live the new flesh!

Starburst Magazine (Walking Dead) Relaunch Cover

The Walking Dead Starburst Relaunch Cover

I've been fortunate enough to find myself working for the great Starburst Magazine recently. Starburst was a UK Sci-Fi, Horror and Fantasy magazine that ran for just over thirty years from the late 70's to the late noughties. As a magazine it grounded itself in the best of Sci-Fi, Horror, Fantasy films, tv series, books etc. Starburst was always a great read but what was particularly great about it was that it was more than just a sum of its parts. Starburst was never content with just reviewing the standard sci-fi fare. It is with thanks to Starburst and its then main film reviewer, Alan Jones, that I was, at a young age, introduced to the joys of the work of David Lynch, Joe Dante, Rod Serling, Alejandro Jodorowsky, John Landis, Ray Harryhausen, Goerge Lucas, Harry Bromley Davenport and many more besides. Very odd in a way now to think of a budding 13 year old sci-fi/horror fan who was busting at the gut to see films like Andrzej Zulawski's Possesion or Jean-Pierre Mocky's Litan (a film I'd still like to see if anyone knows of its whereabouts).

The magazine is about to be relaunched (14th February 2012) and this is my cover for the relaunch issue.

This one took a while to do and, if you haven't already guessed, is based on the hit TV series The Walking Dead. I have to admit I had an awful lot of fun doing the zombies on this.

The launch issue above will be making its debut on 14th February 2012 via subscription or speciality comic stores.
