My short story, Dust Devil, published in Morpheus Tales Magazine issue XV is due for release in January 2012. I put a a short teaser up in the Writing page and if you like it, you can read the rest by buying a copy or subscribing to the magazine here - Morpheus Tales.
I hope you will and help keep the small press market alive because so many good magazines are closing their doors. Without readers and subscribers, they're running on borrowed financial time so please help out and buy copies or subscribe where you can!
Also posted up some new dragon sketches in Works in Progress for possible paintings to be done some time in the new year. Hopefully I'll be able to do all of them.

Some finished webcomic panels added to Works in Progress and newly published illustrations are up in the Illustrations Gallery. They're part of a batch of black and white interior pieces I did for Dark Moon Digest, issue #5. Was really pleased with how they turned out and the guys there like my stuff so maybe I'll have more pieces to display in the near future.
If anyone wants a look at the magazine or to read the stories that go with my pictures, follow the red link above. Also hoping to have a review up in My favourites at some point, and maybe some different artwork in a new gallery, soon to be added.

Added a couple more eprints to the webshop. Got to make some pennies for this place somehow. Will add more as and when.

My short story, Polar, is now available to read in issue #4 of Black Matrix Publishing's Encounters Magazine. It's a horror story set in a post-apocalyptic ice age and was loosely inspired by John Carpenter's film, The Thing. If you like the sound of that, click on the red text and go buy the magazine. Or subscribe to a few issues of it. It's a good one.
Also been adding some new progress updates to Works in Progress re the gargoyle and dragon paintings I dreamed up earlier in the year. Will be posting a bit more regularly in there as I'm making slow but steady progress on both of them. Might even have them finished by the end of the year...

Also working on an interesting art project which I'll post about soon and keeping up slow progress on my personal artwork. Should be able to update on the dragons in the mountains and gargoyle images soon.
Just finished reading a book by Tim Lebbon which I really enjoyed. Look out for a review of it in My Favourites over the next couple of weeks.

Apologies for the recent glitch with the contact form. Its been sorted and I've just tested it and its working fine.
A quicke note also to say, I've posted a short review of Dark Hoard in Favourites and I'll be adding to that page on a regular basis. I'll also be adding new work to Works in Progress as I'm about to start working on a dragon painting that I've neglected for far too long.
01 June 2010
My first short story is now published and available to read in The Dark Hoard. Its a uniquea anthology of speculative fiction short stories and poetry and all accompanied by fantastically varied artwork. Its a pretty cool looking and very professional publication and I'm chuffed to bits to have my work included in it. Visit the website here or go direct and buy a copy here.
25 May 2010
A quick note to say some prints are now available for purchase in the shop for a small fee. There's also a new page added where visitors can read extracts and comments on anything I've encountered recently and feel it needs a plug. There are links to various websites and or purchasing sites if anyone is interested in buying the books or other works commented on.
Also, The Dark Hoard Project release date has been put off until the beginning of June. The editor has informed us that the final product is still being proofread for any sneaky errors and a print copy is being investigated to make sure its up to standard. Will post more information when its available. Watch this space...
29 April 2010
ts official. My first ever short story will be published in The Dark Hoard project and will be available for purchase from 20 May 2010. I'm chuffed to bits to get into the book. It looks pretty cool and will hopefully make a name for itself. It will initially only be available from Lulu but if enough people show an interest it might appear on Amazon later on. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed on that one. Check out the new website here.
Will hopefully have more illustration and personal work to upload soon. Its been a busy few months and finding the time for art hasnt been easy.
Keep checking back for updates. Will try to get some downloadable prints organised for the shop until I've worked out viable postage methods for international deliveries. Paintings are pretty fragile.
13 November 2009
tJust received word from the magazine Morpheus Tales that I can display examples of the work I've been doing for them. I've posted them in the illustrations section with small descriptions. They'll be appearing in upcoming issues of the magazine over the next couple of years.
Also, fingers crossed! the latest issue of Dark Tales Volume 14 will be out soon. Did the cover art and interior illustrations for it and cant wait to see how they turn out.
Hoping to get started on a new dragon painting this winter, time allowing. Will post in works in progress as and when I have anything new to show.
If you see anything you like, please get in touch or visit the shop. I'll be updating it with new paintings soon.
20 September 2009
Havent had much time for dragons this year. Been too busy with other projects and working on illustrations which has been both challenging and fulfilling.
On that note, I have a couple of pieces due to appear in upcoming issues of Morpheus Tales and also in Dark Tales 14. Will be posting them in the gallery once they've been made public.
Have also started working on a short graphic story and will be posting updates in works in progress and will hopefully be getting back to the dragon painting of which a sketch was posted back in february. So much to do, so little time...

Its the first cover illustration I've done and I have to say, its turned out much better than I expected. I'm also in the development stages of my next dragon painting. Should be a good one, if I get it finished...
