Ninja Turtles 1980s Alley Cover

“I had tons of fun drawing this version of the Turtles. My goal was to capture the feeling I got playing the old arcade game.”

Popeye cover: Olive is fed up

“I love the old rubber hose animation style of the 30s, and felt this would be a good chance to explore that in my own style.”

Chibi Harley Quinn

“I have drawn many versions of Harley, but the original suit is always my favourite. I was asked to draw her in my chibi style for this particular commission.”

Gracie and the Frog balloons

“Gracie is from the graphic novel Neverlanders I co-created with Tom Taylor. This was a birthday present, hence the balloons!”
