Miki: The Original Pitch Bible
In 1999, Brenden Fletcher and I worked on a sprawling comic story called MIKI which would be the foundation of much of our future work. Here’s the original Pitch Bible for you to see, complete with drawn comic pages and script…

ISOLA Volume Two Extras
I’m creating a dozen or so extra pages for the second volume of ISOLA. Here’s a preview…

Judge Dredd – Cover Process
I was asked to do a cover for the new ‘Best of 2000AD’ series featuring Judge Dredd. This is a video of the entire inking and colouring process and there are lots of mis-steps along the way, like bad/redrawn hands, foreground elements that weren’t working, aborted crowd details, etc. It’s all in there for you…

New Project – Design Phase: Characters
I’ve been working on a new project for the past year or so. It’s intended to be another webcomic, released in chapters (or maybe scenes, I don’t know yet). I’m still writing it but I’m getting closer to a place where I can start doing some actual drawing. Here are the very first character sketches.

How To Make Your Panel Lines Look Hand-Drawn
Here’s how you can make your digital lines look like they were drawn by a pen on textured paper and more like they were ruled in by your own imperfect hand.

My Writing Process
I’m pretty new to the craft of writing (formally, anyway). I’ve been immersing myself in the art of story and structure since I was in my teens, so I have a pretty good understanding of the fundamentals, but a lot of my professional writing work has been done by the seat of my pants with…
