Here’s a piece I am currently working on. It’s Miranda from Mass Effect 2 (And hopefully 3). Based on the actress Yvonne Strahovski. Finished piece will be posted once complete.

Last week I saw Seth Green in San Diego giving out free goodies from an ice cream van. Here is a snap of him handing over a tasty treat to me. Thanks Seth, it was just what I needed on a hot day at SDCC!

In addition to appearing in many of my favourite Films & TV shows Seth is the voice of Joker in the Mass Effect series of games which I am also a big fan of!

Here’s a pic of me with Jonathan Ross and Tommy Lee Edwards at San Diego Comic-Con last week. They both signed my copy of Turf! Thank you very much gentlemen

I’ve put together a Preview for Grand Theft Robot which is currently at the printers. Hopefully it will be delivered in time for San Diego Comic-con. I’ve updated the site with a new Grand Theft Robot page to show this preview.

Just like to say again a big thanks to Eliza for updating her Facebook page with a link to my blog! You and all your fans are the best!! Have a great Independence Day!!

 

Woohoo! Eliza Dushku has chosen my artwork “Faith vs Kakistos” for her Facebook page this weekend! Sadly the credit for my hard work has gone to the mysterious Buffy “Anne Summers”

Just to prove I did the artwork here’s a snapshot of me earlier today with the oil painting in question.

To most of you out there you’ll be wondering what the fuss is about, but anyone who is a fan of Joss Whedons Buffy the Vampire Slayer and especially the character of Faith played by actress Eliza Dushku will understand my small Woohoo for the day!

When Faith was first introduced she had a past which followed her to Sunnydale. The ancient vampire Kakistos had killed her watcher in front of her and he was now after her blood. I was inspired to do a Faith painting after watching that episode and this was the result.

Being a Star Wars fan, the Faith storyline was as close to a good person struggling with the temptation of the dark side as you’re going to get. The jealousy, misguided friendships and gradual alienation from her true friends was played perfectly by Eliza and still holds up today as some of the best TV out there.

Anyway – ass kissing almost over. Thanks Eliza for choosing my artwork for your facebook page. You’ve made a Sci-Fi Artist very happy!

Here is a close-up of the main part of the painting.

I have some more Buffy related art gathering dust. Seeing as this one has caused a stir I may dig those out and post them soon.

Here’s the link to Elizas facebook page
 
Update: 04/07/11 – Eliza has now updated her page giving me full credit for the artwork! Many thanks
 

Here’s a digital sketch of Noah building a robot from Grand Theft Robot.

This is an oldie from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer days. I posted part of this image on Eliza Dushkus facebook page for Fan Art Friday. Lori Denis commented that she’d looked through my site to try to find the whole image but couldn’t find it and wondered where she could see it.

The answer is I removed this painting from my site some years ago now as I didn’t think it was a strong enough piece to include in my portfolio. You have to be pretty self critical and cut-throat about which images to show and I feel there are a host of issues with this image which I won’t go into. However here it is for you Lori
