Eleventh Doctor v The Alliance
Extermina-lete?! Who knows what the Alliance’s catch phrase would be, besides they’d lose no matter what they chose. Issue 22’s Slamdown!
Madame Vastra v Francesco Calvierri
Issue 21 of Monster Invasion sees two aliens dueling it out over their rights to the Earth. Vastra wins, of course!

10th Doctor v Dalek Drone
He never met them, but we know if the Tenth Doctor had, he’d have run circles around the new Daleks. Illustration for issue 19 of Doctor Who: Monster Invasion
I got to show David Tennant this a while ago, and he beamed, which was as much a reward as I could have ever asked for.

Commander Strax v Roman Auton

To slam or not to slam?
I’ve not posted in a while, and that’s because Friday 30th marked the Monster Invasion team’s last day together. We worked right to the last minute, making sure everything that comes out over the next year is perfect. The magazines will be coming out well into 2013 and I’ll be posting my illustrations as often as possible, up to the 52nd issue.
I’ve not quite finished drawing them all - there are a couple of secrets I’ve yet to find out - but after nearly 50 of them, I think I’ve learnt an awful lot. Hopefully, now that the project’s wound down, I’ll even be able to spend more time developing some personal work I’ve got in mind.
It hasn’t quite sunk in yet that I won’t be back on the magazines, but tomorrow I start at the fantastic design studio, Name. They’re a great bunch of people and I just hope I can live up to the extremely high standards of work that they’ve produced in the short time that they’ve been going!
Breathe!

Minotaur V Sycorax
Issue 14’s illustration. Who knows what the Sycorax’s biggest fear is, but my money’s on Kim Kardashian.
