I'm Spartan..no..I'm Spartan!!


Actually I'm an Athenian or at least my father is..and Geordie on my mother's side..but in days gone by my family were Ionian..near Ephesus..
enough history..more action...
As any learned Roman historian will tell you...the Roman's stole most of their civilisation from the Greeks..Oh! I thought the Romans invented the phalanx and the shield formations of the tortoise...nope..Greeks...Where the Greeks stole it from is another matter...
Here is some work inspired by 300, Spartacus, Gladiator and err..Roger Rabbit... that's right you heard Roger Rabbit.. the product of a wandering mind...if you look carefully you might even find a Mr Incredible..

Mark Jobe of Quay Studios www.quaystudios.com who is kindly lending me the mac with which I am writing this very blog and scanning and manipulating the artwork which you see before you..had a most excellent idea. That I should create a virtual exhibition space for some of my work...(specifically an old photography project that has been lying in My mam's attic for many a year..)...a 3d environment gallery space with some 2d artwork contained therein..Brilliant idea...definitely going to get on that...as soon as I've finished this infernal comic...I'm easily distracted by new (and old) ideas...

Been testing (or playing depend on your perspective) with Manga Studio to ink up the pencilwork..have to say Manga Studio is the greatest program ever to have graced the rectangular shaped display unit that self projects all manner of wonders into my eyes..It's the greatest..in a Muhammed Ali way.. Manga Studio is king...(in a world of software for inking pencilled drawings..)
