Plus my comic book "Now We Are Running" is available to buy at my Bigcartel store now!

OMG I CAN'T WAAAAAaaaaaaaaaiit.

I'm looking forward to going to see Tim and Eric live in London at the end of the month and I've been watching their show a lot lately. Its the perfect blend of awkwardness and insanity. This was fun to do and give it the requisite strangeness that a tribute to them deserves. Great job!

Hobo... WITH A SHOTGUN!

My poster design for the Prince Charles Cinema's Hobo With A Shotgun gallery. The poster is going to be displayed in the PCC bar during the Exploitation Triple Bill event on the 14th of July as well as being displayed at XOYO in London when the movie plays the midnight movie slot on the 5th of July.

More movie poster fun coming soon!

The Continuing Adventures of To The Rescue!

My latest pieces of artwork for the RNLI magazines 'Storm Force' and 'Offshore'.

Liz Lemon.

“One time I laughed at a blind guy eating spaghetti! Sometimes I pee in the shower if I’m really tired! I saw my grandparents making love once and I didn’t leave right away!”

Get Smart.

A sample of some artwork I did for Oxford University Press last year. These were featured in school text books.

Ronin Dogs!

My tribute to Jennifer and Derek from Mark Pearce's Ronin Dogs, an awesome comic series. I had the pleasure of meeting Mark last week at Bristol comic con and traded my POS comics for issue 1 & 2 of his book. Its seriously funny and full of badass artwork of sexy ladies fighting robots and aliens plus explosions. If you get a chance to pick it up I recommend it. Tell 'em Big Jimmy sent ya!

Check out Mark's blog here!

"Now We Are Running..." On sale NOW!

'Now We Are Running...', my first full comic book with words and pictures by me is now available here at my Big Cartel page!

It's a collection of pop culture spoofs n' goofs with a little bad language and violence thrown in because I think it's big and clever.



Inside!

Meet Steven and George, two young-buck, hot-shot directors with Hollywood dreams in their eyes. Finally, learn the sordid (and almost sort of maybe true) stories behind some of Spielberg's greatest films!



Plus!

Discover the legend of the Vangrooover Brothers, three body-building triplets from a German muscle-family who undergo a heroic metamorphosis and then go on adventures with fighting and explosions and that!



The comic had a great debut at the Bristol Comic and Small Press Expo last weekend, I met loads of awesome artists and got con fever so hopefully we may meet at a future show oh dear reader of my blog! (I'll be wearing a flower in my lapel)

Update: The comic is now available at Excelsior! Comics in Bristol (Near to Cabots Circus). Check them out, they rock.

Betty Draper...

The always cheery ball of sixties sunshine known as Betty Draper (aka January Jones).

Ink and watercolour (and a bit of copic marker)

I DONE A COMIC!

My first self-published comic "Now We Are Running" will make its debut on Saturday the 14th of May at the Bristol International Comic and Small Press Expo . I've got a table at the con along with fellow Bristol artist extraordinaries Katie Green, Jess Bradley, John Paul Bove and Rhys Reed so come along and say hello.

After the Bristol con my comic will be available via my blog for all youse peoples of the world so stay tuned for more details!

See you at the party Richter!

Movie night.

Just something I did recently for my portfolio.

Don Draper...

Don Draper (aka Dick Whitman) from Mad Men. Don is a great character because he's still a sympathetic and likeable person despite all the stuff he gets up to. Props to John Hamm.

Water colours, ink, a little marker and some pencil for his Fred Flintstone style stubble-muzzle.

Peggy.

Peggy Olson from Mad Men.

In a tv show full of brilliant well written characters, Peggy is one of my favorites because she feels like a real, three dimensional person. Ironic considering I totally resemble, and live my life like Don Draper...

Water colours and a little bit of pro-marker.

Roger and Mrs. Harris...

Joan Harris and Roger Sterling from Mad Men.

Getting back into using watercolours after a long period of being scared of them (like they were little painty monsters).

Ron Swanson.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into Swansons.

Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman) from Parks & Recreation.

The Vangrooover Brothers...

Say a bicep-chunky Gutentag to the Vangrooover Brothers, three body-building triplets from a German muscle-family. Learn about their iron-pumping adventures in my new comic "Now We Are Running" available in May!

Steven n' George.

Meet Steven and George, two young-buck hot-shot directors with Hollywood dreams in their eyes. Learn the sordid stories behind some of Spielberg's greatest films in "Now We Are Running..." * available in May!

* It's my comic what I drawed!

To The Rescue Strikes Back!

My contribution to issue 104 of Storm Force, the RNLI lifeboat magazine for children. This issue I got the chance to move from one to two pages for the comic story and to continue my RNLI vehicle spreads. My favorite pieces of artwork for the mag yet.

Who died and made you f*king king of the zombies?

One of my favorite films of all time. Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright are always a big slice of fried gold inspiration for me so I gone done this.
