Ra-ra-rasputin
Here's what I came up with to accompany a new book project being touted by the mighty tv producer-cum-historian Pete Walter. S'all about bringing history to life without inducing a boredom-infused coma, relishing the bizarre lives of some our cherished (or infamous) icons. My main inspiration was Boney M's Ra-Ra-Rasputin for this, as the more perceptive amongst you might guess. Couple that with his oft-told refusal to cark it and his penchant for seducing anything with a pulse and you have the well-rounded sociopath we all know and love.

If there are any publishers out there, get in touch and I'll pass the manuscript along.

Drawn From Life


Joe Sacco meets Gerald Durrell in my first forray into comics journalism. Only instead of braving a bullet-strewn West Bank, I was faced down by a herd of hungry heifers. It's featuring in this week's edition of Lancaster Farming, one of the biggest agri-business journals in the US, apparently.Click here to visit their site.

Ok, so I've been a little lax with the posting of late, mainly due to being back into the breach at CCS. Behold! A poster for my work in progress graphic novel on the Great Plague of London (marvel at its inappropriate Epithet). Click on it for a larger version. And yes, I did indeed redraw a 17th century map of london. Squint and you can see some of the bloody rafters.

I've been working on some illustrations for a scouse limerick book, soon to be yanked to the presses by Beauclair books, which I'll stick up here soon by way of a premature valentine treat.
