INSIDE OUTSIDE book teaser... coming on 16th July! I'm really proud of this project, which has been on my mind for a long time, and has actively consumed me for the past year or so. It's exciting to finally be at the finish line! youtu.be/likgLb5pUH4

INSIDE OUTSIDE is nearly with us… the book proof has landed! It’s exciting to finally hold the results of over a year’s work (and 30 years of obsession). Here’s a sneak peek of INSIDE OUTSIDE: Deconstructing David Bowie’s Gothic Hyper-Cycle

Here is the first of a (long) three-part conversation between myself and Tokyo-based dystopian fiction lecturer and musician, Marc Lowe. We discuss my upcoming book on David Bowie's 1.Outside album and his wider work in the 90s, plus several diversions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lejk...

It's happening... soon! Anyone interested in my Inside Outside book, I will be announcing a publication date in the next week or so, but it is likely to be early July. Later than planned, but hopefully worth the wait! I'm really proud of this project, and can't wait to get it out there!

My current projects: 📖 Inside Outside... a book about the making of David Bowie’s 1.Outside 🎵 Mutate 2.0... an expanded reworking of my 2019 album, Mutate 🎸 A new collaboration with @steveogdenart.bsky.social 💿 DVD cover designs for Reeltime Pictures 🎨 A very special artwork commission...

Both @oldsixie.bsky.social and @nicolabryant.bsky.social now have copies of 'Blackpool Remembered', a book that myself and John Collier are so proud of. I guess this was a small way of giving something back. We hope you enjoy the trip back in time!!

A cardboard box found in a collector's "ramshackle" collection of vintage films contained two episodes of Doctor Who that have not been viewed since airing in the 1960s. #DoctorWho www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This month sees the first anniversary of my book, Evolution of the Toy Dalek, a project embodying 40 years of obsession and collecting - and a contribution to the Doctor Who community that I'm so proud of. telos.co.uk/shop/doctor-...

I’m setting up a mailing list for anybody interested in my forthcoming book about the making of David Bowie's 1.Outside album. As I’m entering final stages, it’s just going to be an occasional email update of progress and publication details, etc. Join here 👇 forms.cloud.microsoft/r/Hk0cV3UaBX

Today is the 4th anniversary of my album Aspects, which remains my personal favourite. It was the moment I finally landed the sounds and atmospheres I’d been chasing and it pushed my mixing and production to a new level. I’m still incredibly proud of what came together here. push.fm/fl/hehi2rji

The Twisted Road - concepts During the concept stage of @simonkewin.co.uk's cover art, having settled on a Möbius strip-shaped space station, I produced several rough sketches for composition and different iterations for a station design that defies the laws of construction.

In the March issue of "Odyssey" we feature the amazing artwork of Alex Storer from his recently published book "First Light." Drop me a line if you'd like a sample copy of the magazine. #Odyssey @thelightdreams.bsky.social #art #scifi #books

Today we're thrilled to be taking part in Elsewhen Press' cover reveal for Simon Kewin's upcoming sci-fi THE TWISTED ROAD, due for release 27th March. Artwork by Alex Storer Find out more: tinyurl.com/munf65dj @elsewhen.press @simonkewin.co.uk

Here's my cover art for the The Twisted Road, the first book of @simonkewin.co.uk's new science fiction trilogy. I really enjoyed working on this and discussing the various aspects with Simon.

Absolutely delighted to see First Light reviewed in the latest issue of Odyssey, the magazine for members of the British Interplanetary Society - I couldn't ask to reach a more perfect audience!

Very sorry to hear about Lorne Martin's passing. John Collier was regularly in contact with him when we produced our original ebooks on the classic Doctor Who exhibitions. It was a pleasure and an honour to have our work met with his approval really meant a lot.

New cover commission for @simonkewin.co.uk is going well - my first illustration with a new Intuos Pro tablet (having realised my trusty 15-year-old Intuos 4 wasn't compatible with the latest Mac OS!). Looking forward to sharing the results soon...

Got my first cover art concepts for The Twisted Road from @thelightdreams.bsky.social. Really wonderful. I felt quite emotional seeing this book and setting that's been in my head all this time rendered as an actual book cover in the real world. #scifi #booksky

My upcoming #scifi book The Twisted Road, to be published by @elsewhen.press, is going to have original cover art created by the awesome @thelightdreams.bsky.social. Very cool!

Coming this spring, INSIDE OUTSIDE, a deep dive into David Bowie’s 1995 dark concept album, 1.Outside. The book explores the album, its origins, the 'Leon' recordings, the subsequent tour and more, in what remains one of Bowie’s most creatively fertile periods. This project is a real labour of love!

Between 2020-2022 I alternated releases between dark, heavy thematic albums with red & black cover art, and lighter, more contemplative albums with black & white cover art. These four are some of my best work. I was considering continuing the red/white theme indefinitely (I didn't, and wish I had!).

‘I’m delighted to say that we will be beginning another year of full moon releases under the name o\i. The songs are a mix of thoughts and feelings. I hope you like them.’ - pg

Cover reveal! 💥 My next book, Inside Outside, is a deep dive into the making of David Bowie’s 1.Outside; an album that still fascinates and inspires 30 years on. Too often overlooked and misunderstood, it remains Bowie's most artistically fearless work. Out this spring. Stay tuned for more... ✨️

2025 creative countdown #4 Another book! Released in November, First Light brings together the best of my science fiction art and book cover illustration and design from the past 15 years. amzn.eu/d/f9JwH5X Tomorrow, maybe a cover reveal...

2025 creative countdown #3 My instrumental album Málverk was released on digital formats and CD. The album combines my fascination with Iceland and love of 1970s/80s science fiction art. thelightdreams.carrd.co

2025 creative countdown #2 Self-published in May, Blackpool Remembered is a vibrant illustrated history of the classic Doctor Who exhibition – a real labour of love for me and John Collier. Bringing together a definite paperback version of our 2020 ebook was really rewarding! amzn.eu/d/585IZ6D

2025 creative countdown #1 March saw the publication of my book Evolution of the Toy Dalek. A history of Dalek toys from the 60s to present was a joy to write and design, and a long-time ambition. Being published by Telos was the cherry on the cake! Really proud of this book. amzn.eu/d/4G2vqpW

THREAD. A collection of photographs of excellent trees I have met on walks. You will find the captions to each photo in the alt text.

Work on the Bowie book is going really well. The bulk of the content is drafted, but I'm still hoping for a couple more contributions. Diving deeper into 1.Outside even after 30 years, has been so enjoyable. Cover reveal coming soon!

"His locales are often vast in scope, bringing to mind the viewers landscape-position of John Martin, where humans form just a small part of a world building scene." - this really is a greater compliment than I could have hoped for! downthetubes.net/in-review-fi...

First Light: The Science Fiction Art of Alex Storer downthetubes.net/first-light-...

Awakening (2011) is one of my earlier digital paintings but the one which really kickstarted things, when it was chosen for inclusion in Brave New Worlds: Utopias/Dystopias in London that same year. This piece and many more are included in my new retrospective book, First Light. amzn.eu/d/6fqtox3

The final scenes of the TV show of 11/22/63 destroyed me & explain my obsession with Sam Cooke's 'Nothing Can Change This Love'. If you love SF with high stakes, compelling characters & impossible love, all rolled into one, then check out my novel! @elsewhen.press 📚🪐 #timetravel #sciencefiction

Here's a quick flick through First Light - a personal best of the past 15 years of science fiction illustration. Shipping worldwide! amzn.eu/d/1JCQlsKw

Delighted to see Evolution of the Toy Dalek still sitting comfortably in the various categories on Amazon: currently #25 in Antique & Collectable Reference, #38 in TV References and #46 in Antique & Collectable Toys, Games & Models. A perfect stocking filler for Dalek fans! amzn.eu/d/jh2nS4z

The works in First Light unfold across a series of thematic realms: cities, stars, worlds, environments, and book covers. Richard Hayes’ commentary invites the reader further in, enriching each piece with an added sense of adventure. amzn.eu/d/3tC3snx
