Oh, he's very popular. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude.

Another comic book cover for the awesome Covered Blog. This is maybe one of my favorite pieces of artwork. I love the zoom effect on that chump at the front being sucked in by one of the tentacles and the slimy texture on the alien looks great (adjusts bow tie).


This was a lot of fun to do. I took a scene from Amazing Spider-Man 50 (circa 1967) and redrew it in my own style (see the original here).
I love the scene because it sums up what's great about Spider-Man; Peter Parker is so resigned to his role as a down on his luck dork-nerd that he's too oblivious to see that two beautiful 'gals' are obsessed with him, and the perfect life that he pines for so much is right infront of his face (if his head wasn't up his own arse). He's without a doubt my favorite comic character because he's so self absorbed that he makes life twice as hard for himself, the kind of interesting character trait that you don't find much in superheroes.
Next I'll do the same with an action scene from another Stan Lee/John Romita issue.
I've got a great job doing the back page comic for Storm Force, the RNLI lifeboat association's magazine. Its a really fun gig, drawing true life adventures of high seas rescues and the like. 

Here's my version of Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man issue 121, as featured on the excellent Covered Blog. Check out the original version of the cover and the rest of the site here.


Here are my character designs for "What Happens..." a brilliant comic book written by Ian Moore. The story follows Jon and Sue, a couple from Scotland that get caught up in a crazy world of super powered meta-singularities, inquisitive extra terrestrials, and a massive robot that smashes New York right up. Above are my first designs which needed a little tweak to capture the essence of the characters...

This took about 3 days. Played with different colours and gradients to get the right feel. Thought I would do some decent film images for my portfolio so this is part one of the 'James's top five movies collection' (actually its my 3rd favorite film but you get it).
