There hasn't been much action on the DrawBridge Blog recently. Everyone is pretty busy. We'll have to see if we can give the old thing a kick soon.

I was at the Big City Dare2Draw last night and had a good 2 hours of life drawing plus various other diversions. The female model was 2 minute poses and the male one was 5 minutes and a couple of 10 minute ones. That guys back was kind of fascinating.

In keeping with the spirit of the man I got all minimal with this one.
It's under 10Kb !
Remember when filesize used to matter?

A great character, perhaps somewhat ill used.

So I was in the Getty Museum in L.A this afternoon and they positively encourage people to draw from their paintings. They give you paper, a board and one of those cool sketching stools. I couldn't help myself.  So here's a painting of some old saint guy begging to some Roman emperor ( who looked a lot like Napoleon) . If I had thought for a second I might have written down the name. Anyway the drawing is pinned to the board at the museum now, so I can now say I have work in the Getty collection.

So the fabulous MTVGeek website is now running Lilly Mackenzie & The
Mines of Charybdis in it's entirety. This will be the extended 8 part
version that saw print in the Judge Dredd Megazine last year. In
addition there will be an extra 9th Chapter that will be the 12 page
'When Lilly Met Cosmo' prequel story that I did for the ACT-I-VATE
Primer last year and has never been online before. MTVGeek use the
Comixology engine to display comics so this version will be the
absolute best quality that the internet can provide.

Here's the link

In addition there is an interview with me about the genesis of Lilly
that is 100% brand new.

I know that if you follow my blog you have probably already read all
this stuff. So please feel free to pass it along to someone you think
might enjoy the story. Spread the word!

I've been very lax with my commissions in the last few months. I need
to get on top of this again. Sorry to all those who are waiting. This

This is so fabulous I felt I should draw it to your attention. Drawn
by Tom Berry ( Radiator on the 2000AD forums and @TheRealTomBerry on
Twitter ) it's nearly the entire recurring cast of The Adventures of
Nikolai Dante. Not even I have drawn ALL of them at once! Spectacular.
