Here it is, the website is finally up!, The Skeleton Queen part 1 mini story is featured in DMC's New Ground comic book issue 10B and will be available at Armageddon Expo in Auckland on the 25th October. Thanks to Chris Corboy my editor for this project and publisher Jeremy Bishop from DMC ;)



Next year in October will be the release of my first comic book, Space Chronicles Universe, issue #1 will introduce you to the Valkyrie Team and the start of an on going series. Can't give out too much details yet as I am still sorting out bits and pieces (publishers, retail etc). But for now I've launched a teaser page, check out the new updated logo :)

I am pretty busy now with several contract work, there will be updates on those soon, including Mighty Ape concept art, which should be online early November.
