Spook Wars

Here's a short story I finished recently.

I can barely remember where it actually came from now... I think the actual script is well over 3 - 4 years old. It was going to be for a friend's anthology book that was basically based on his own book, Frequency. Sadly, the book never really got very far. Scripts were written but not much art was ever completed. I even tried my hand at writing and drawing my own story. I think I only have a page or two left to complete come to think of it. (Draw that is.) So maybe some day I'll finish that one too.

But really, I've got lots and lots of scripts here from writers all over the world. Most of them are writers I'm still in touch with and people I consider friends. And I should point out no one's really asked for these stories to be done. I just kinda felt like doing them. Help the ol' portfolio out too. And my sanity. I can only work on the same thing for so long before I feel like I'm losing my patience. Expect more sometime soon methinks.

One more post about my friend Mike Black's first novel, Grinning White Teeth. It is now available for sale and should be soon on Amazon and the like.

You can find it here.

I've already read some snippets of his next novel and I find it even better than the first. Read more about Mike here.

After what feels like an eternity I'm happy to announce that my first published work will soon be coming out. It's going to be a short story in an anthology collection chock full of creators and of course, comics. (More will be said once I know dates etc.)

But that's not all... I've also recently completed a cover for my friend Mike Black's first novel. It's called Grinning White Teeth and from what I hear he's already started on the second novel as well. Hell, here's a snapshot.



Lots of work on the go, not enough time to do it. So let's see....

I might be colouring another artist's work for the first time. I've already done a trial run but we'll see how it turns out. From what I hear the actual work may not commence until later in the year though.

I've been asked to design a website for a business....

The art book is still on the go but it's slow goin... I think I want to include some more work in it so I'm waiting until I build up that proper material.

I've got one more page to go on a short story by Steven Menszer (him again!) that I'm hoping to complete in the next week or two. And then another short after that by Mike Black that's pretty damn cool.

And then if all goes well, the next pitch to publishers begins with Mister Foe. So pumped for that working with my man, Raph.

I don't think I left anything out... Will try and update more with some progress shots.

Here, one last illo... a quickie Mister Foe piece.

Just wanted to make a quick post to let you all know what I've been working on. I've decided to take a short break to try and complete my art book, Cheap Vodka. It's something that a few people have been waiting for and really, it feels like it's time to try and get it out there. I wouldn't mind finishing it for my Mom's birthday as well but I think that's gonna be tricky. Heh.

So yeah, if you don't see me for a while chances are I'm busy at work on it. I'll be sure to post some previews or snippets when we get closer to completion date. And just so you know, it will also be the first publication from EnemyOne. I'm hoping to have some more titles to announce in the future including what may or may not be an online magazine with a print edition made available. Only time will tell.

Finally managed to finish this sucker.
