I recently received from Paul Kautz, a paperback copy of his book Trail Tales #2 - Superior Hiking Trail

A collection of humorous short stories about Scout, a young hiker taking a long backpacking trip with his father. They encounter a variety of talking animals and discover what predicaments they can get themselves into.

This is the second of Paul’s books that I have illustrated (The first was SHT4U2NO), I was responsible for the cover and all interior art of this hiking tips book.

The book can be purchased directly from Paul or from Amazon (where a Kindle edition is also available)

A couple of panels from Menace in Space, a two page comic strip I drew for Spaceship Away.

The Magazine is a full colour fanzine initially based on the British comics space hero Dan Dare and now also covering similar British pop culture.

The publication was inspired by The Eagle, a boys' illustrated magazine, published in the UK from 1950 to 1966.

Menace in Space was written by Brian Berke and appears in issue 61 (Autumn 2023 - Available now).

The Magazine is published three times a year, Brian and I should be contributing a strip every issue next year.

The black and white line art for this drawing of the classic Vaughn Bodē character Cobalt 60 was originally made for British comics magazine Eagle Flies Again.

An old scan of the art was cleaned up using the vector tracing abilities of Adobe Capture. Once converted back to raster it was coloured using Clip Studio Paint on the iPad Pro.
