Good fun drawing a load of 1990s LP covers this page!

I thought I'd photograph a few stages of my inking process this week.

Panel borders, lettering, and pen line work done.

Laying down borders for blacks spotting, using Paper Mate Flair pen.

Blacks spotted using brush and ink.

FOR THE RECORD INKS: Cassettes

Forging on with trying to get a page done and finished every weekend.

THAT COMIC SMELL: Science Fiction

The latest episode is out now. 

The first of two featuring science fiction comics.

Have a listen here.

Today's pencils. Trying, and failing, to purchase the Grand Canyon soundtrack on LP.
