Avengers Assemble!

This started out as a doodle and developed as the day went on.

I may come back to it at some point.

The Red Bee

Here's a picture I drew of one of my all time favourite Super Heroes, The Red Bee.

Originally, appearing during the Golden Age of Comics (Hit Comics#1, July 1940),

the Red Bee was a powerless Super Hero who fought crime with the aid of a 'stinger gun'

and a trained Bee named Michael. Michael lived in a compartment in the Red Bee's belt buckle.

They don't make them like they used to, eh?

Live sketches: Spitalfields Market.

Happy Christmas 2013.

Well, 2013 has been yet another wonderful year for me. Along side producing illustrations 

for various publications, I have also been very busy designing, teaching, creating personal 

commissions and working in a variety of creative areas. I can't thank you all enough for your 

support and lovely comments. It's all very humbling. 

2014 is already shaping up to be yet another exciting year. I'll be announcing all of my latest

 projects in the near future and I can't wait to tell you all about them (stay tuned, folks).

Thank you all once again and I wish you all a very Happy Christmas 

and all the best in the New Year.

I salute you all.

Enjoy!

David.

Phone Portraits

Whilst queueing or waiting for the kettle to boil, I've had a lot of fun 

creating these portraits on my mobile phone, merely for my own amusement.

Can you name them all ?...

(The answers are in the 'Labels' section at the bottom of this post, 

although they are not in order. A-ha! A game within a game!)

Enjoy!

Live sketch: London Underground Central Line.

Here's a live sketch I drew whilst travelling across the Central Line on the London Underground. I set out with a rough composition in my head, positioned myself at one end of the carriage and drew the various passengers as they boarded and left the train, filling the various positions I had designated in my mind and on the page. Admittedly, it was a very tricky/ testing exercise I had set myself, but I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge. In many ways, it was more about watching, observing, and mentally recording information than drawing. I'm also very thankful that my pen didn't run out :)

Savage Zenith is an exhilarating story featuring two of 2000AD's much loved

 characters, Bill 'Invasion' Savage and Zenith.
