Guinness-World-Records!

I stumbled into this whilst promoting m’ novel at KAPOW! London comic con.

I contributed to this world record by creating the last frame, and after 11 hours 19 minutes and 38 seconds, two new Guinness World Records had been set: the “Fastest Production of a Comic Book” and the “Most Contributors to a Comic Book”.

With more than 60 contributors, the comic-book will be printed and distributed through Marvel’s Icon imprint, with all royalties being donated to Yorkhill Children’s Foundation. Well done to everyone involved!

Cartigan at KAPOW!

Finally, after almost five years my first Graphic novel entitled ‘Cartigan’ with be published by Akileos in June.

Two weeks ago, myself and Writer Dan Willett promoted the novel at KAPOW! London comic con, where the general feedback we received for Cartigan was truly amazing!

As the novel will be published in French first, our main objective was to try and secure a UK/US deal for all English speaking countries.  Again, the feedback from many UK and US publishers was fantastic, and will keep you posted on the outcome. Plus Cartigan will be featured in Bizarre magazine in a couple of months!

Big shout outs to The Establishing shot and the very friendly Den of Geek for their lovely Cartigan compliments.

Stickerbomb 2

Studio Rarekwai’s Stickerbomb was the first to highlight the stickers of ‘street artists’ collected in one big bumper book.

I was lucky  enough to grace the second volume containing fully-peelable stickers. It’s filled with an amazing collection of more than 250 specially-commissioned stickers by artists, illustrators and graffiti writers from around the world, many of whom have not been featured in a publication before. It will appeal to a young market of designers, street artists and illustrators, plus street art fans and anyone who collects stickers.

Stickerbomb 2 can be purchased in all good book stores.

long!

Time has whizzed by without me posting a ruddy thing! So after gathering plenty of new Artwork from various projects, i’ll attempt to show the best bits from 2010 to the beginning of 2011.

DJ Hero 2 was released back in October 2010 with critical acclaim. scoring 9 out of 10 on many online reviews, ‘the best kind of sequel’, etc. I was lucky to have worked on this triple AAA title, creating many characters, costume designs, environments, front end elements and loading screens, many of which will be featured in the concept section and on Freestylegames’s site

I’m weeks away from completing book one of ‘Cartigan’, my first Graphic novel. Book one will be published by the wonderful Akileos publishing in France.

If you can make the KAPOW London comic con on-April 9th to 10th, myself with Partner in grime, Mr.Willett will be there to promote Cartigan. can’t wait!

Until next time-Dx
