Just stuff I've done over the last 2ish years...

The New Policeman ; Bus Stop are copies.

WIzard of Oz ; About a Boy are merged copies.*I don't know if that's a thing, but I copied bits of several posters to make my own*

Alice in Wonderland ; Dragon are my own, not copied at all.

And finally Susan and Death are a Discworld parody of a famous painting, do you know which?..

Been having a wiiiiiiiild time over on Threads. I posted a moderately mardy observation about the ongoing misappropriation of my illustration for ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’. 200 new followers and 700+ interactions later, I’ve discovered people are as pissed off about art theft as I am.

But it’s got me thinking. After 15 years, is it time to lower my guns on this particular piece of artwork? After TKAM I went on to create several international editions, and the cover of Ms Lee’s ‘next’ novel, Go Set A Watchman. I gave talks about it, was featured in the papers and on the radio. My cover’s in the Norman Rockwell Museum, and the original artwork was acquired by Harper Lee’s estate. I also have a precious hand-written note postmarked Monroeville, the content of which I shall never share publicly. And that, quite possibly, is enough.

I wrote a piece exploring why I woke up feeling like this - and it feels like a relief.

I saw a guy wearing a He-Man "'SUP LADIES" tank top at the gym the other day and decided that She-Ra would suit that look much better and that I had to make it happen.

(The She-Ra art is my redraw of a canon publicity shot, so not really original to me. But this needed to happen. It just did.)

Oh ARK... Will you ever stop being just so awful?
