Finally, after what seems like an age, time has afforded me the opportunity of finishing this tribute. A monster mash up of one and two, it is a labour of love as I'm an enormous fan of both movies.
In point of fact (along with Empire magazine's Nick de Semlyen) I think the sequel is marginally funnier than it's progenitor, with a cracking, gag infested script, great support characters (Max von Sydow voiced Vigo and Harris Yulin's Judge Wexler standing out for me) and Bill Murray absolutely inhabiting Venkman's easy, wise-ass charm.
I hope Ghostbusters fans everywhere get a kick out of it. It is available to buy as a print (and other merchandise) on my Deviant Art site:

After much messing about the above is the final layout for the GB30 caricature. This finished linework will now be coloured, special effectified and the logo put on...and then viola! All when I have the time 'natch!

Here's my first take on the finished design. Elements need refining, I'll try a few others. Baby-steps with this one.

Further work on the "Ghostbusters 30" project, a tonal sketch of the 3 primary characters. Rick Moranis, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts and Sigourney Weaver will follow soon...and the some design ideas.

As promised McBusted fans, here is the finished article. The family and I will be at Hyde Park next Sunday to see the lads rocking' it up...can't wait. Hope to try and get a print of this to them so they can sign it! Anyone know how I can contact them?

In honour of the genius that is McBusted, and for the fact that my son and daughter were entranced by them at the O2 recently, my latest work is a band caricature of those noble chaps. This is just the linework and a possible layout, it will (in the fullness of time) be a full colour extravaganza...watch this space McBusted fans.
Thanks to my daughters persuasive powers we will all be making the pilgrimage to Hyde Park to see them...after thoroughly enjoying Fearne Cotton's documentary about the lads I can't wait.

On Wednesday the 2nd of April my son Thomas was lucky enough to be interviewed on The Colin Murray show, on TalkSport. As part of World Autism Awareness day (Tom has autism) Colin talked to him about his work as a football commentator for Sutton United FC. Tom came across brilliantly, cool, focused and enthusiastic...I couldn't have been prouder of him; especially as the same can't be said of me...nerves had the better of me on the day.
Whatever the future holds for Tom, this moment will stay with him forever. It boosted his confidence and gave him something to aim at. Everyone at the station was wonderful, they made a great fuss of him and were effusive in their praise...all of which made the experience even more memorable.
The above work is my way of saying thank you to all concerned, I was a TalkSport/Colin Murray fan before this marvellous event...I'm doubly so now.
Best of luck in the future guys with your "Average" show!.
UPDATE: As of April 10th 2015 my son Tom completed a wonderful week of work experience on Colin's show. A massive thanks to Colin, Kathryn and James for looking after him.
Excelsior Out!!
