| Introduction | I am a hard-working British Comic-Strip artist and writer. I have also branched into movie work, having produced concept art and storyboards for The Hughes Bros. Movie, "The Book of Eli". My career began when I studied for a year as an apprentice with Don Lawrence, by the end of which I had secured paid work on the major British strip Judge Dredd for 2000ad. My work in the American comic-strip industry began with Swamp Thing during Mark Millar's time as scriptwriter. I have since gone on to be published in The Invisibles, Starman, JSA, Lucifer, and The Authority. I have also worked on The Filth and Ministry of Space. The former a creator-owned series written by Grant Morrison, the latter a "what if?" limited series written by Warren Ellis which saw Britain winning the Space Race. Outside of comics and film, I have occasionally produced record sleeve artwork and toy designs. More recently, I have been working on "The Twelve" with acclaimed screenwriter, Joe Michael Straczynski, and made my own US comics writing debut with a prequel to this series entitled "The Twelve: Spearhead". |
