Miserable - Page 2
I'm probably going to post the first 5-6 pages of this story and that's it for this one. I don't want to spoil the story or reveal too much.And I'm going to have to change panels 7 and 8. Doesn't look like an airbag is going off inside the car...or does it? Probably not.

This is slowly starting to come together. I got all the thumbnails for this story done fairly quick. Now I have to pencil and ink the whole thing out. Gonna take me a while.Script by Richard McAuliffe, of course!

XMas card
A commissioned Xmas card for Mrs. Browns Boys.The idea was simple...Brendan wanted the same as the Halloween/Bible cover but Xmassy.
This is just the basic colors etc before I go in and add shade and other xmassy things. This will be my first ever printed/published Christmas card.
Woohoo!

Happy Halloween!
I did this Halloween parody pic based on the bible pic I did for 'Mrs. Browns Boys'. What's really cool about this for me is...my wife did the initial colors for it. She's getting better and better at photoshop...look out all you color pros out there!

Zuda Comics
Okay, it's been a good while since my last post.So, here's the explanation. I decided to submit a comic strip to Zuda. Zuda is owned by Warner Bros. (who, in turn own DC comics). I went to their website....downloaded the necessary info...and decided, what the heck, I'll give it a try.
I've already got the 8 screens pencilled, inked and lettered...I just have to color them.
And that, folks, is why I've been slow to post on the blog.
I've got tons of work to catch up on when the Zuda strip is complete.
I got the Caretakers Uncannily Nasty Tales to finish, a Mrs. Browns Boys Halloween pic (need to work on that this week), Heroes Exposed and a few Thugs pages! Also, got to follow up on the kids comic, 'Hiccup!'
And maybe I'll do a few paid commissions!
No rest for the wicked.

UltraMaiden Mock Cover!
Ta-Daaa!Done!
A mock UltraMaiden cover! It's actually a re-creation of the cover to Wonder Woman 288.
Not bad...now that I'm warmed up...time to get some real work done!
Test Animation - Mrs Browns Boys
Heres a twenty seconds rough animation piece for Brendan O' Carrolls ' Mrs Browns Boys' animated series.
Flint Lockjaw - Universal Hero
Here's a quick snippet of some test animation I did with a few 'friends' a good few years ago.
The designs are by Robert Islas (hence the co-creator credit...though it should just be a design credit.) but are actually based on my drawings. Robert is an incredible designer.
I'm currently revamping 'Flint' and going back to basics.
Ultramaiden Warm-Up!
As I've been away for a couple of weeks...I've been a bit rusty. So, I decided to lossen up a bit and get abck into the swing of things by drawing a cover re-creation of a Wonder Woman comic...of course it has my own slant on things and features the one and only UltraMaiden from the Thugs! strip.As soon as I get the whole cover done...I'll post it.

Mainstream
While I'm sorting out my business/drawing schedule for the coming weeks...heres an image I did for a comic book I created back in the late 80's....'MAINSTREAM'.
This was the cover for Issue 2. I was 19 when I drew it. Not bad...but I think I took the idea from an old DC book...can't remember!
When I'm stuck for something to post...I'll put up my old garbage. My old garbage is quite interesting when you comapre it to my new garbage.
The character in the vampire choke-hold is 'Vex'. Vex storylines dealt with the supernatural and were very X-Files before the X-Files....If you know what I mean.

SWAG!
Alrighty!I’ve been away for a while, two weeks to be exact, so I haven’t posted anything in that time. Now that I’m back, I’ll be posting regularly.
Anyhow, my trip back to my home country, Ireland….went really well, personal-wise and business-wise. Hopefully I’ll be able to reveal more details business-wise over the coming few months.
Anyhow…When I was back ‘home’ I picked up tons of swag…what you see in the pictures is a small representation of what I brought back to the US.
I brought over around 7 volumes of the Hardcover faithful reprints of the Original ‘Dan Dare’ strips.
A good few Hardback volumes of ‘Viz Comic’ …Hilarious non-pc stuff.
A few copies of the ‘Eagle’ comic from the 80’s relaunch. Yep…you can see the first issue in the pictures…it came with a free space spinner!
A few copies of some real old school war comics…'Battle.'
A few copies of one of my favorite IPC titles ‘Scream!’…you can see the first issue in the pic and that came with plastic ‘Fangs’.
Bought a couple of the 2000ad fanzine ‘Zarjaz’ (and other various 2000ad stuff) and the British comic fanzine ‘Crikey!’.
Got some ‘Dandy’ and ‘Beano’ stuff including a hardback reprint of the original 1939 Dandy Annual.
And as you can see…I gots me some cool Doctor Who toys! I love the good Doctor. I got a ‘Sonic Screwdriver’, a remote controlled ‘K-9’…two remote controlled Daleks…a Cyberman and the good Doctor himself!
And I got the missus…A ‘Jack Skellington with interchangeable heads’…she loves that movie!
Not a bad haul…I still got tons of stuff up in attic of my folks house. Maybe next time I’ll manage to bring most of it over to the US.

OOPS!
My 200th post!Woohoo!
This is a drawing I did for the CGS forum. It's a caricature of Bryan Chrisman...aka Pants.
The guys on the CGS Podcast are always using 'Pants' as the butt of their jokes. What better way to counteract that by giving 'Pants' his own fan club.
Go Pants, go!

What If...Superman was born a Girl?
NSFW! and definitely NOT Kid friendly!!!!Final colors on this one. I plan on coloring the other two What If's as well and I'll only post them when the colors are final.
Had a lot of fun drawing and coloring this.
Rich's scripts are so funny and offensive at the same time.
Caretakers Tales
NSFW!This is the Secret Project I posted about a awhile back. It's the Caretakers Uncannily Nasty Tales.
Hilarious Script by Richard McAuliffe.

Zombie Homies Ruff Pencils!
Did this back ruff in '06...and I posted a really garish color version! (It's what the client wanted).
I reckon some time over the next few months I'll re-color this to the way I like it. Just thought it would be interesting to post the rough pencils.
Click on the label below to see the inked and really messed up color versions.

Old School Flint!
This is a 'Flint Lockjaw' page from the late 80's.Yep...it's kinda crappy. I just hope I've improved from this...even if it's a slight improvement.
Oh...and the big statue in the background is of Cuchulainn.
Cuchulainn one of Irelands greatest mythological heroes. The drawing is based on the statue of Cuchulainn that you can see in the GPO on O'Connell street in Dublin.

Jonah Hex
'...But as any man, woman or child knows, he had no friends, this Jonah Hex...but he did have two companions...one was death itself...
the other the acrid smell of gunsmoke.'
Man, I love Jonah Hex.

If you haven't yet, git yer ass out and buy Showcase: Jonah Hex and the current trades by Palmiotti and Gray...you won't be disappointed!
THUGS Update!!!
