The Adventures of a Homunculus

Official teaser for the comic. I finished the pencils today, thirty left to ink.

The bizarre travelogue of a very small man. Marvel at multiple metaphors with mixed meanings (but never mixed metaphors). Howl at the horror of ignorance and the sorrow of wisdom. Sing, run and fly with the Homunculus and a curious cavalcade of characters ~ You will be thrilled, guts will be spilled and brains will be filled.

Coming soon.

Homunculus is Latin for "Little Human".

Black Canary



I finally coloured this old pin-up today as a "break" from pencilling. I did three pages today, woot!

Snake and Mongoose.


I did this commission last year and now that he's finally received it I am free to post. Brief was: "A woman on a chaise and a woman behind her. Make it dark and Victorian." Snake is itching to get away from Mongoose. Mongoose will do as she pleases.

下妻物語

Cards on the table, I have a thing for Anna Tsuchiya and despite regularly turning my nose up at fluff EGL pop manga I bloody love Shimotsuma Monogatari (the movie). This film is vapid, I mean embroidery is a key theme here, but it's so much fun! Look!


Halloween Man vs. Cupid



For a competition at Halloweenman.com: draw H-Man versus any other holiday mascot. Swatting at Cupid like the pesky blood-sucker of a mosquito he is. C'mon, wouldn't we all like to swing a shovel at that nosy wee cherub?

Creeper



Originally inspired by a shot of Brittany Murphy and a low, wracking mood. After I finished this I found out she just died. As Silverstone said, I hope she is at peace.

The shadow of his own loveliness

I was given a copy of Dorian Gray with the cover from the recent film so I undertook my own cover to obscure the former blemish on my otherwise lovely book. It's odd, Dorian is described as having "crisp gold hair" but in all film and comic book adaptations he is a brunette. I used Boyd Holbrook as reference.

dirty pretty stings


You've got to watch out for the pretty ones.

I think the reference photo is the lead singer of Suede.

Un poison violent, c'est ca l'amour


I should clarify that the burning mentioned is not in the sense of passion, it is to painfully consume. From a scene in Une Vieille Maîtresse, which I haven't seen. I have pictures of Asia Argento around and this... well it fitted.
