Here's some of my black & white art from the forthcoming Judge Grrr strip written by my good bud @nedhartley.com Ned Hartley. It'll be in this month's Judge Dredd Megazine. This was very much out of my comfort zone but so glad I had the chance to do this.
LAWMAN OF THE FUT-GRRRR!

When Dinosaurs Ruled...
Done for fun. I was thinking about one of my fave pieces by Frank Frazetta, the cover for Savage Pellucidar with Dian the Beautiful and a sabre-tooth. This sort of fell into my head.
Finished the final piece for the shark book - the electric ray Eotorpedo zapping a sand tiger in the Early Eocene. That concludes 80 pieces generated for the book. Got me a sore right hand that smacks of RSI so going to relax then get back to doing some commissions and a bit of art just for fun.
The one on the left is definitely mine!
The comic they tried to ban is back! Celebrating 50 years since the first issue of the controversial ACTION, Rebellion are publishing an all-new oversized Special in April. Stories by Garth Ennis, John Higgins, @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social @stazjohnson.bsky.social Mike Dorey @paddyg.bsky.social & me.
April sees the release by Rebellion of the Action 50th Anniversary Special, a super-sized issue with I was asked to do one half of cover for. I am honoured to be sharing it with comics legend and good friend John Higgins!
Three images includes the finished art of the cover and a work-in-progress.
Piece for upcoming shark book. Male meg grabs the pectoral of a resistant female amidst a baitball of Alosa (shad). Meanwhile, a flock of Spheniscus megaramphus (extinct large, long-billed banded penguin) and an extinct toucan-billed booby, Ramphastosula, go fishing. Pisco Formation, Miocene Peru

Been a quiet year in terms of social media as the shark book has dominated my time so not had much to post but looking forward to flexing my creative muscles next year.
THIS WEEKEND!

I'm doing my part:
Thanks!
The Treasury of British Comics Annual arrived today with this fun strip by me and my BFF @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social.
What if Gums was in Action Comics?
Spotted all the way over in Hong Kong!
Oh wow!! That's great!
Picked this up from @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social at Thought Bubble and it’s excellent. Digging (biting?) into the dark reality of what happened to Quint’s USS Indianapolis. Very recommended.
Churchill apparently declared that the British Government was ‘entirely opposed to sharks.’
Thanks, Rob!
Sorry we didn't get to chat much!
I missed Godzilla's birthday! Best wishes, bud!
Had a great time doing this!

Got around to framing up this awesome @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social Transformers piece that I commissioned a while back, Steve’s been involved in two of my childhood passions via Transformers and Dinosaurs, so it’s a real honour to have original art by a legend in the industry. Such a talent!
Oh no!
Go!
Mesozoic Art II was delivered today. What an amazing book @tetzoo.bsky.social and @sharkbitesteve.bsky.social !
