Two very talented artists.

A few people have expressed interest in my comic work (not publishers or anything, just peeps), and while I have no finished product to show you - and reams of script would just be dull - I have shanghaied some artwork from two of my friends whose work I really admire.

The first one is by a guy called Matt Boyce, he has been studying artwork for years both foreign and domestic and is steadily cultivating his own style, a blend of mainstream/animation/indy/european/ashleytemplewoodsmith ( a style which I like to call proto-ART-prog...bwah hah hah).



Anyway, he is a great guy and lots of fun to work with as he has crazy assed ideas.

The second artist I really like is Stuart Cattell, I think he has all the skills it takes to make it in the mainstream comic world (Marvel and DC), except the time to draw and someone paying him to do so.
This is page 3 of a comic we created called Dates for Capes, about a Superhero dating agency, it follows our protagonist who fights crime whilst searching for a date. Its quirky, campy and doesn't take itself too seriously. This unlettered, uncoloured page highlights an oh-so-brief battle between our hero, and two villains called Loan Shark and City Hall. (I'm sure you can figure out which is which).

Stuart doesn't have any website, until he finishs drawing this issue. When he does (and not a minute before), I will get a website up and running showcasing the entire first issue of Dates For Capes, and his other artwork.

I agree, but its the piece Stuart wanted to show, his call, not mine. I think he likes it because it tells a story without speach-bubbles.
He has done better, but I think this was a sequential story-telling thing.
