This week I finally got my hands on a shiny copy of Septic Isle. The printers have done a fantastic job, it's a quality piece of work, it really is. Even if I say so myself! Just don't be put off by my photo at the back of the book. Let me assure you, I'm much better looking in real life. I showed the book around at work today, and all of my colleagues were impressed. Well, they were to my face anyway!
But, if you need more convincing at how great this book is, here is the first review of the book, over at Forbidden Planet International. It's a phenomenally positive review. Things I've been involved in before have had good reviews, but not like this, and it's especially gratifying considering this is the first time I've ever illustrated an entire book by myself, and I'm really proud of it.
So, if you want to buy it, come along to the Bristol Comic Expo (On May 10 and 11th at the Commonwealth rooms) to meet Andy Winter (Septic Isle's writer and publisher) and myself and we'll sign it for you, and I might even do some sketching for you. And you can see how much better looking I am in the flesh, as well.
I'll bung some more of the book's art up soon, I promise!

What a great review - well deserved too, all your hard work paying off! Super!
You should be fucking proud of yourself. It looks fantastic, hope it does you well. but tell me, page 13 did you draw that? page 7, did you draw that, page 28, did you draw that...
Thank you both for your kind words.
Mick, glad you liked the review, I really enjoyed it, just sorry personal circumstances mean I'm unlikely to make Bristol this year to see y'all in the flesh.
