Here's my card for the Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair Garfield collaboration for the MTG Secret Lair CATS ARE THE BEST superdrop!

Various video game illustrations made back in 2024 for Lost in Cult's book, The Console Chronicles.

The Ghost Machine - from pencils, to inks, to digital colour.

You can see in this picture, I took a lot of bold steps early just making broad shapes for the composition, and then I’ll add shading, details and foliage as I can in the inks.

I think this was inspired partly by 80s space lego and From Beyond (the colour as much as the theme of communicating with things that can’t be seen).

Going through these archives, I can’t believe how much time slips by, and just how many different bits are on different hard drives and old computers.

I’m hoping to get a bit more time to collect everything together into a central archive.

The Return - process

I've been going through my archive looking for sketches and preliminary drawings for a project, and I wanted to share how I build up my images. I realise it's something not everyone sees all the time.

It marks 10 years since I started making these giant drawings. I remember starting them in a slump and they ended up becoming the thing I was most known for. I hit a block but allowed myself as much time as I needed, making these images purely for myself.

The poster for the Green Man Festival 2026 line-up has been revealed with my work on it.

I’m redrawing an old image from over ten years ago based on the arcade game Final Fight.

I'm struggling with the minutiae of colouring this image.

It's taken a long time to work on in my spare time, but it's getting there. It's not finished yet.

Over a decade ago I was going through a terrible time, and I couldn’t draw, but I had a compulsion to mark make for months. I wonder if it was hypergraphia?
