Movie Poster Covers – Sherlock Holmes
One of the hardest parts of doing my illustration thing some days is finding inspiration to put pencil to paper. I was having a great time doing scribbles for the Lunch Doodle theme over on Twitter. It is my hope that the new muse for me is illust...

I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas! How will Abe recover from such a mean gesture?!? Be back here next week to find out!!! Related posts:Prof. Abe Decker and the Horrible Fishman Pt 4 Prof. Abe Decker and the Horrible Fishman Pt 3 Prof. Abe ...
Prof. Abe Decker and the Horrible Fishman Pt 4
CLIFF HANGER!!!! OMG only four pages and we already have a cliff hanger!! What is it that has Abe so stunned!?! Is it the mysterious horrible fish man? Is it a lava throwing rock troll hell bent on stopping Abe from confronting aforementioned ho...
Prof. Abe Decker and the Horrible Fishman Pt 3
Decker Snr was actually a last minute addition to the storyline, originally it was just going to be a random on the street that would give Abe the information but I thought it might be cool that his father has a barber shop downstairs. I’m not...

I know it has been ages since we last talked about this but I freed up a little time and am ready to tackle the awesome’st garage part two. For those of you who are new this was the ultimate awesome garage part one: And since there was so much d...
Mystic Ninja in Sharpies
I will admit that Mystic Ninja was actually one of my least favourite of the characters that I created for the Goodies and Baddies card set. I don’t know what it was, I probably just couldn’t put a back story to the character (they were...
Where’s my money – featuring Tiger Cub Girl
I’m really enjoying my ban on drawing licensed characters, not that I won’t go back to drawing them given time but the character creation and exploration is something that is quite fun at the moment. The above is a standalone piece, it...
Spider-Man illustration plus the tools I used
If you follow my Posterous account (and honestly why wouldn’t you be?) you would have seen the Sharpie illustration/scribble of our friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man the other day. I hadn’t drawn him for a while and even though I can...
Win my Hulk in the Rain piece over at Sigmate Studio
A little while ago I was featured on the Sigmate Studio blog with my “Hulk in the Rain” piece: Hulk by Lee Sargent Step by step Hulk by Lee Sargent As part of my feature I offered the original artwork to Sigmate Studio to give away in a...
Iron Man enjoys a cup of joe
Coffee and capes – Tony Stark edition? Well it’s not really an official coffee and capes but I think it kind of fits the piece nicely and I always enjoy this kind of pose for Iron Man / Tony Stark. The armour is no actual model armour, it...
Do not adjust your screen – it just is that awesome
Click the image to blow your mind and make the image larger. When you are done crying liquid rainbow tears of joy leave a comment, if you don’t leave one I’ll just assume your face has melted like in Raiders of the Lost Ark. I’m no...
You decide what goes into the next ultimate awesome garage!
A while ago I did the illustration above, the most awesome garage in the world. I stand by my choices in this piece, these are the three cars I would most love to have sitting in my backyard and I’m pretty awesome so I know this stuff. Of co...
Defendor – I’m actually really looking forward to this
No one was more surprised than me when I discovered that I was eagerly awaiting not one but two Woody Harrelson films coming out later this year (hopefully, sometimes these things can be a little sketchy here in Australia). The first film is Zombie...
Final notice: Big Trouble in Little China sequel
Dear Mr. Carpenter: Final Notice: Big Trouble in Little China sequel According to our records we have identified that despite repeated requests for a Big Trouble in Little China sequel you have chosen to ignore these requests for the afore-mentioned ...
An awkward moment at the bus stop…
I imagine this would be an awkward moment. I put the black and white ink only picture up on my Posterous blog. Remember to share it around if you like it!! Related posts:Sometimes experiments don’t work out – illustrationsX-Men artist t...
A Star Wars scribble
I’m reasonably certain that the flu has completely stripped my immune system away as I am still wasted only a couple of hours into my day and so you can imagine how I feel come home time! OK, end of sick whine (I just wanted to explain why all ...
Fin Fang Foom
Now into day four of the horrible captain trips illness that has left me quite utterly useless and bedridden. I did manage to sit up long enough today to sketch out one of my favourite comic book villains, Fin Fang Foom: Like chocosaurus, Fin Fang...
Iron Man Wednesday – Mark VII
I thought it might be ironic showing Iron Man on a don’t do drugs poster. I always felt that the red and silver armour was the most corporate stooge of any of the other armours, designed specifically to look flashy and appealing. Even thoug...
Wednesday Iron Man – Mark VI the recovery armour
It is apt that last week Rol pointed out that the image of Iron Man was reminiscent of the Demon in the Bottle storyline that featured Stark’s battle with alcoholism because the armour in question was indeed the model during that period. This w...
X-Men artist trading cards
I really love the Artist Trading Card (ATC) format, you have some high quality paper (generally) and a tiny space to put some big stuff. It actually works for me and I like working in the snapshot style that I use for my ATCs. A while back I did some...
Custom Moleskine cover featuring Goodies and Baddies
I’ve been a fan of the Moleskine notebooks for a long time now, I probably like them a little too much because I’m always a little hesitant to draw in them or write in them as I know that I’ll want to hang on to them and so I only w...
Iron Man Wednesdays – MK V – take two
Last week’s Iron Man Mark V armour was not as well received as it could have been (for rightful reasons that I do accept and appreciate) so this week I’m staying with the Mark V but reminding everyone that it isn’t always easy being...
Illustration mashup: Star Wars Fight Club
It’s been a while since I did a new mash-up and I know you guys like them so here is the latest Star Wars / Fight Club inspired one. I have no idea why I wanted to show C3PO getting all bad ass on someone but there you go. Originally I thou...
Iron Man Wednesdays – MKV Armour – ‘The Classic’
Wow I almost didn’t make it in time to get this up for Iron Man Wednesday! I actually got distracted with a mash-up illustration that I’ve been thinking about and of course I know you guys like the mash-ups! Anyway this is the classic I...
Sometimes experiments don’t work out – illustrations
I posted this picture on my Posterous blog that I only recently resurrected. I’ve been posting the inkwork on there prior to the colour pieces showing up over here. When I posted this picture late last night I hadn’t coloured it yet and...
Iron Man Wednesday: Mark 2
The golden avenger armour or mark 2 is possibly my favourite which is really weird as I’m sure I’m the only one! With this I really wanted to give a retro feel to the illustration. I wanted it to fit in the era that the armour was app...
The most awesome garage in the world
I’ll post the ‘making of’ sketches in the next couple of days. No related posts. No related posts....
Iron Man Wednesday: Mark 1
This is the first in a series where I will be drawing the complete set (as best as I can work it out) of Iron Man armours. Starting with of course one of my favourite suits of armour, the Mark 1. No related posts. No related posts....
