Private commission. This is the client's own character, 'Nightghost'. I believe he may be using this as a variant cover for his comic's Kickstarter campaign.

This old Baroness sketch has been bugging me for years, so as a warm up this morning I decided to change the face & hair...

Lady Sith, pencil sketch for #revengeofthe5th

Just got this in for May The Fourth #maythe4th #maythe4thbewithyou

A quick pencil sketch for today. May The Fourth Be With You. #maythefourthbewithyou #starwarsday #Maythefourth

Thumbnails for a private commission, which would you choose. The first three are variations of the very specific brief the client gave me, the last one was a slight twist on the theme I thought I'd throw in there.

It's kind of a bleh day, so today's #FCFCoversLiteracy Spotlight is on some pretty ladies to brighten your day up with covers from @terrydodsonart.bsky.social @corinnehalbert.bsky.social @mikehawthorneart.bsky.social and @stazjohnson.bsky.social! Bidding ends THIS SATURDAY at the end of FCBD 2026!

Damn! Apparently pencil sketches of a superheroine character in her spandex bodysuit is considered 'adult material' on Bluesky. 🙄

Thumbnails for a new private commission. This is the client's own character for their upcoming Kickstarter. Which would you choose?

Betty vs the Space Monster

Betty goes into space, & I go to bed.

Space girls a-go-go...

Another late night Space girl.

Happy ALIEN day everyone...

Here's some of the pre-clean up artwork for my Hook Jaw strip in the ACTION Anniversary Special.

I got fed up of waiting for a comp copy of the ACTION 50th Anniversary Special & nipped round to Morrisons to get one.

A thing...

Another old school space girl is my last drawing today.

Got my copy of HEARTBREAKER: The Lost Art Of Sean Phillips, it's crazy how good he was at such an early stage in his career. @seanphillips.bsky.social

Another old school space girl is my last drawing today.

Happy Saint George's Day everyone... I must get this sketch inked one of these days.

Love staz's work 🤘🏼 Really need to get some of the awesome prints of his I've snagged up on the wall...

Wow!

I love a good spacegirl!

Another Wally Wood-esque space girl for a cool down sketch tonight.

A quick 'space girl' sketch, & that's me done for today.

Thumbnails for a private commission of one of the Sisters Of Battle from the Warhammer 40K universe. Which would you choose?

I never seem to get bored of drawing these ladies...

I have to do a sketch (possibly two if I have time) for a charity auction to benefit Epilepsy Action. Give me your suggestions for who I should draw... broad appeal would be preferable, but not absolutely necessary.
