No I actually just did ghost work wnen Mal was still alive. I left DCT soon after he died. I did a few strips years later for Beano max. it wasn't that close to dave parkins style though

Hi jonny I only ever ghosted for billy. The first ones I drew where about 18 years ago and they were ghost jobs of the original style . I think I drew maybe no more than 20 but can't be sure. they reprinted some in classics of comics. last year I ghosted a few for Euan for beano max in and attempted...

Nice one Euan ! Have a great time on the golf course. Remember the last time we played :) ? your son's friend lost half his teeth or at least ahem that's how I seem to remember it. I've have known you for over 20 years and thankyou for all your support my friend. I wish I was closer so I could go bu...

Call me a fool but I dont see uglier, seperated, style's, wev'e wer'e, wev'e anywhere on the site so where do you see those spelling errors

Plate board is also pretty good for oil painting too I find

ask for Plate bristol board, its more expensive but thats the one Ken uses , it has the shiny
surface you mentioned. can be hard to find sometimes but strathmore do it in pads.

Funny you should say that about Ken H I met ken with A Dan in hand and it had the biggest white out on it covering a third of the page and I remember saying wow what a patch but you are right most of the pages I saw of Kens had no whiteout, I like making mistakes just so I can splash it on

Gilliot 303's are are good nibs.( you can order them from Scribblers) im sure Tom P told me he used them or something similar, I dont think hes a brush man. I might be wrong the conversation was 18 years ago . Steve Bright uses the 303's. Markers and brush pens are pretty great these days I love mic...

Lew I just realised why. its because I'm from near Liverpool , thats how they pronounce it
