Masters Of The Universe: The Next Chapter!

Finally learn what happened to Skeletor after the events of the Masters Of The Universe movie! This was done for the Prince Charles Cinema's "Good-Bad Movie Club" screening of the movie. MOTU was one of the first movies I ever saw at the cinema, closely following the He-Man/She-Ra: Secret of the Sword movie, both of which my Dad took me to (he had to put up with a lot of Greyskull back then). Even though its a little dopey and ropey (and totally steals Superman's intro and theme tune) its still pretty fun and hold a special Gwildor shaped place in my heart.

Ghost Cake!

Another fake book cover for my portfolio at Advocate Art. These were really fun to do and I think they are some of my best work. Certainly my best work featuring phantom baked goods...

The Mystery Of Frankenstein's Vampire!

This is a fake book cover done for my portfolio at Advocate Art, my agents. Unfortunately I haven't written a story to go with it but it sort of writes itself doesn't it?
