I Believe in Father Christmas

2016…bastard year that it is…took another great from us this month. ProgRock doyen, and progenitor of THE greatest Christmas song EVER, Greg Lake, slipped away from us. I wanted to mark the occasion so I drew this…it's my Christmas Card to you all.
As we coast gently into Christmas remember, as Greg says in the song, the Christmas we get we deserve…so please make sure you earn, emotionally, the best Christmas you can possibly have.
Season's Greetings Planet Earth.

Welcome to The People's Republic of WITTERTAINIA!

In the light of the world's current political meltdown we need a country of our own. Somewhere that represents our values, our interests, our inherent love of Jason Isaacs. The great Witterpedia has the answer…the newly formed island province (probably in the Aegean Sea) of WITTERTAINIA!! I was asked to contribute currency designs (see attached) and I thought I would contribute a "Welcome to..." sign, done in a style to honour a certain "Old Trot"…a political leaning I share with the good doctor.

I hope Wittertainers everywhere take this on board and begin the clamour to gain political recognition for our little slice of cinematic heaven!!

Show we're LOVING THE SHOW STEVE, wondering if it's TOBY JONES OR NO-BY JONES & saying HELLO TO JASON ISAACS!!

EXCELSIOR OUT!!

Save us from Trumpville!!

The final colour piece of my attempt to insult one of the most ignorant, divisive lunatics ever to occupy the Oval Office. God help us all!!!

#NotMyPresident!

In the light of the Socio-Political disaster that we are all currently "enjoying" I cannot stand idly by without comment. So here it is...the rough pencil/tone version of my response to Brexit/Trumpville. Finished version to follow...and may God have mercy on our souls!!

VISIONARIES: Sometimes a strange notion...

Above is the pencil rough for, the first piece, in a project I'm calling "Visonaries". With it I intend to caricature my favourite directors, and their work. 

I'm starting with the great Guillermo Del Toro; in the image he is cradling his latest, multi tentacled, creation which is, in turn, reaching out to others of Guillermo's cannon.

Jason and the ARGUENAUTS

Suggested by a photoshop meme by the devoted Wittertainer @Witterpedia_net, the above piece is a mash up of three of my favourite things: Wittertainment (naturally), Jason Isaacs (hello, of course) and the late, great, Mr Ray Harryhausen.
Hope all concerned get a giggle out of it and thanks to @Witterpedia_net for a kick ass idea.
