DONNA SUMMER & ERNIE CHAN R.I.P

When i was a teenager many many years ago i would read my comics playing music on the radio or tape recorder , i loved Donna Summer's music , her look, i really thought she was ''HOT STUFF'' the times my friends and i would disco dance to her music and enjoy the beat , such fun and energy back then happy care free days .
so sad to read this week that both Donna and Ernie both have passed away to cancer , my thoughts go out to their family and friends.
Ernie Chan was a brilliant inker, painter and artist his work on Conan, the Incredible Hulk, Batman shows how great he was, my brother used to collect Savage Sword of Conan , and Conan the Barbarian and King Kull which regularly had Ernie's stamp on them , he had a fantastic inking style and he worked really well with the masterful John Buscema .
I would spend hours looking and reading those wonderful comics dreaming of  far off places.
Donna and Ernie thanks for the entertainment and for being part of my life growing up.
God bless

H.P. LOVECRAFT'S PICKMAN'S MODEL JAMIE DELANO STEVE PUGH

A while back i was asked by my friend Steve Pugh if i would help him on a short story for Self Made Hero books the story was H.P Lovecraft's Pickman's model
for THE LOVECRAFT ANTHOLOGY VOL 2
Steve needed to keep to his deadlines with HOTWIRE for Radical Comics, i said a big yes! as it was a chance to work with Steve, you see I'm a big fan of Steve's work on SHARKMAN and HOTWIRE.
Steve asked me to draw character designs and layouts based on Jamie Delano's script , i enjoyed this as well as i had never worked with Mr Delano just read his work over the years so this was a challenge.
Steve ok'd things with the Editor Dan Lockwood and we had lift off .

So here's my character designs and page layouts 10 pages altogether although in the printed version there are 11 pages , Steve managed to still use my layouts as a guide to tweak the extra page .
It was decided in the end not to show the monster's whole image like the old Hammer films , you use your imagination to see the true horror.

i have just bought a copy of the book and must say it's a great package so very proud to have helped out, the book is available to buy from comic shops, book shops and  amazon.co.uk/Lovecraft-Anthology-II

Thanks Jamie, Steve and Dan for allowing me to join the party.
