Yeah, I've been awfully quiet again, huh? Sorry about that folks - just the way I get sometimes. I have been keeping fairly busy tho - I've been colouring a whole bunch of private commission pinups, and the first book of a great new ongoing project - Butterfly Gate for Improper Books. This promises to be another really nice wee gig - I'm not actually too sure whether it's gonna be published online or in print, but I'll keep you guys posted as soon as I know more.

But I'm not here to talk about what I've been up to. A while back I did a couple of pinups for Patrick Purcell's book, Winter City. It's a great wee book with tones of all those great 80's noirish movies, and from what I've seen so far, it promises to be a damn good read. He's putting issue 5 together now, and that's where you guys come in. He has a pinup by "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" artist Wayne Nichols ready for the issue, but it needs some colour, and he's decided to offer it up as a contest. You can check out the lines here [link] or on the website, and more details about the contest in the links below.

Not bad, sir! Just not been in touch for ages, and was checking up on your OK-ness!
Had a rough time with my old man passing away at xmas, but the daily battle goes on.
Been some drama up the studio lately, so I am giving that place a miss for a while.
I can tell you the gory details sometime...:)

PS
I am wondering if you would be up for colouring a cover sometime? Only if you
are not uber busy over the next months...Drop me PM if you are interested, sir.
Also to give you my current mob contact, etc...

Best regards, dude!

Hehe, thanks man. When I made the basic version I kinda wanted to use it to help learn animation with photoshop, so the plan was always to make special editions. And the new season at the end of the month seems pretty damn special to me! ;D
