When I turned my attention to the cover design for my self-published novel The Dragons of Bloodrock, I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted: a giant grey dragon speeding over a desert, with a huge wall of red rock looming in the background. I roughed out a few pencil compositions before settling … Continue reading Painting Dragons

Perilous Crossing
Typical, isn't it? You trek through the wilderness for untold weeks, take your rest at an ancient waystation on the brink of a fathomless canyon, restock your rickety wagon with supplies and an unusually large number of oversized firebrands, feed up the strong yet grumpy ultra-oxen ready for the next leg of your endless journey, and set out … Continue reading Perilous Crossing

The Picture Strikes Back
Rummaging through the attic, I came across this half-finished painting. I started it in 1983, but despite an initial youth-fueled burst of enthusiasm, never summoned the energy to complete the damn thing. If you're a movie buff or science fiction fan, you'll see immediately that it's a hodge-podge of ships and characters from popular films including Star Wars, Blade Runner, … Continue reading The Picture Strikes Back
Wasteland Transaction
This sketch is called Wasteland Transaction, but I've no idea what the transaction actually involves. Is the woman who's rolled up in the crazy off-road vehicle handing something up to the guy in the post-apocalyptic lookout post? Or is he handing something down to her? What exactly does that ornate-looking box contain anyway? I don't know, but I have narrowed it down … Continue reading Wasteland Transaction
Lana in Orbit
Sometimes when you sketch you screw things up. This was meant to be a drawing of a ship called Liana, which features in a half-abandoned manuscript that's currently gathering dust on my hard drive. Just before finishing the sketch, I decided to print the name of the ship on those pod-like things running down the side, … Continue reading Lana in Orbit
Stone & Sky Timelapse – “The Push”
Today's sketch is a scene from my 1999 novel Stone & Sky. It shows the moment where, having survived both the eruption of Krakatoa and his unexpected relocation to a strange and inexplicably vertiginous alien world, Victorian explorer Jonah Lightfoot finds that his new companion Annie West is not all she seems. If the drawing isn't … Continue reading Stone & Sky Timelapse – “The Push”
Kurosawa Lander
Here's a time-lapse video of my latest Sunday sketch, which I've called Kurosawa Lander. The title's a total cheat, since the (imaginary) subject isn't Kurosawa-ish at all. Nevertheless, just like last week's sketch, it's inspired by the images still sloshing around inside my head since my recent viewing of the master Japanese director's 1980 movie Kagemusha. This is first time I've tried a … Continue reading Kurosawa Lander
Kurosawa Watchtower
Last night I found myself alone in the house. An unusual situation which, on the rare occasions it occurs, generally sees me frittering away the hours by completely failing to decide what to do with the unexpected me-time. Should I read? Write? Watch a movie? Lie in a semi-comatose state and relish the peace and quiet? For once, the decision came easy. After a … Continue reading Kurosawa Watchtower
