One of my favourite places I've visited is the Avebury circle in England. It's more spread out than Stonehenge so you can wander and get up close. I think I can draw a line between the experience and what became the stone monsters in SKAB.
Here I'm perched on ‘the devil’s chair’

An assortment of panels I'm fond of from SKAB Chapter 2.
SKAB Chapter 2 available now for preorder on my website! I'll also be tabling at TCAF again this year and I'll have copies available there.
For every pre-order I'll be including a 6x9 print!
For the first chapter I did a similar size print of Kay looking out in the ruined tower so I wanted to continue the tradition with Mo this time.

For the release of SKAB Chapter 2 I've done an alternate cover!
The story of SKAB takes place over two timelines so with the second cover I decide to expand on this key moment from the story's past.

Front and back of this page. At some point I did a redraw on the reverse side to adjust this panel. Still like the pencilling
Still having fun with this character

Some spectacular pages-in-progress by our studiomate Jack T Cole aka @newjackcole.bsky.social. These are from a story he’s working on. Zoom in to appreciate Jack’s amazing designs and lush penwork.
Something a little bit different from me today. A couple of years back I did these little wide screen studies to try and capture a mood for a story. It's one of those ideas that just doesn't go away. Hopefully I can get to it one day.
