Hi all,

I'll be at the London MCM Expo on Friday 25th-Sunday 27th of May with copies of TFRG1 #80.5 if anyone is interested in getting one!

Draw the World Together will be raising money for the Make-A-Wish foundation and you can pick up a copy for a £3 donation to this fantastic cause! We will also be sketching and having a raffle prize-draw for MaW (and our money boxes provide a handy place to get rid of loose change!), please come by the DtWT table if you're attending the show! ;)

Thanks and hope to see you there! :)

Hi everyone,

just a reminder that it's Free Comic Book Day on the 5th of May at your local comic store!

Here's what is available-FREE STUFF!!

With all the hype surrounding The Avengers, it's worth noting where these characters and ideas originated.. the comic industry needs your support! ;) Even if you're not a comics person, please try picking a free one up, you may like what you find!

I'll be signing at Orbital Comics, London (WC2H 7JA) together with the rest of the Transformers Regeneration team (Simon Furman, Andrew Wildman, Stepen Baskerville, John-Paul Bove) as we launch the series this Saturday, yep the first issue (#80.5 from the old Marvel line) is FREE in comic shops this Saturday!

We will all be charging £1 per signature but every penny will be going to the Make-A-Wish foundation via the Draw The World Together charity fundraiser, organised by myself, Andrew Wildman and Kat Nicholson.

Hope to see you there!

Feb 2012 Update

3 min read
Hey all,

thought I'd post an update to let y'all know what I've been up to (since I've been far too quiet - apologies!). Last year was very strange in that the diversity of work I ended up doing was unbelievable but I loved tackling all the new and varied challenges! :)

2011 Highlights included -

• Launching "A Midsummer Night's dream" with Classical Comics.
This was a 130 page Graphic Novel that I had been drawing and colouring with my partner :iconkatcardy: since 2009! It was great to get it finished and launched at an event.


• Illustrating a set of cards for the UFS game Red Horizon (a big thanks goes out to Jascogames!). The set is now available to pre-order at the above link. :icongenzoman: came up with a Blazblue/SNK-esque look for this and I really enjoyed working on it.


• Being part of the art team on the Need For Speed : The Run "motion comic" (on Nintendo 3DS/Wii). Had to draw this in a US comic style and you can see my illustrations at the beginning of this stage (this is the Wii version- the panels were meant to be displayed one after the other with pieces moving in 3D, but the Wii version is static and the producers laid the panels out like a comic spread. There's no 3DS footage on youtube!).


• Being asked to colour covers for Transformers Regeneration from IDW. A massive honour to work on the continuation of stories that I read when I was a kid! :)


• Performing the first ever Transformers-themed DJ set at Auto Assembly (Europe's biggest Transformer's con), mixing up samples and tunes from almost 30 years of various shows & films. I was thrilled that people liked (and danced) to it! :)

• Colouring the Incredible Hulk vs Death's Head strip, drawn by :iconsimon-williams-art: - one of the last and best strips the Marvel UK crew put out.


As for the here and now, I'm producing another UFS set (this time using the official King of Fighters XIII license!) which I'm having a blast with! :) I hope to be able to show you some of the work when the game is released.

Finally, :iconkatcardy: and I will be sketching for our charity fundraising project Draw the World Together at the Cardiff International Comic and Animation Expo (26-27 Feb) and the MCM London Comic Con (25-27 May). Hope to see you there! :)

Thank you for reading and have a good day!

Jason

Hi All,

just dropping a quick note to say :iconkatcardy:, :iconstressedjenny: and myself will be sketching to raise money for the Everychild charity at the London MCM Expo (ExCeL London) on 28-30 October 2011.

As usual, we'll be at the :icondrawtheworldtogether: stand.

Hope to see you there! :)

Cheers,
Jason

PS. If any of you plan on coming to one of these shows would like buy a print/s of anything in my gallery, drop me a note and I'll try to get them sorted and bring them with me! ;)

Hi Everyone,

just a quick update-

We (at DrawTheWorldTogether) are selling off sketches that various artists have kindly contributed for fund-raising, with ALL proceeds from the current set of sketches going to the Everychild charity.

The auction ends this Sunday at midnight and you can see the sketches on ebay here-shop.ebay.co.uk/drawtheworldto…

The next auction will feature a variety of sketch cards and will start immediately afterwards with ALL funds going to Pakistan flood relief.

Even if you don't bid please consider spreading the word or sharing the above link with your friends! :)

Many thanks!
Jas

PS. Hello to anyone I saw at Auto Assembly a few weeks ago and thanks to those who bought prints & sketches at the show! :)
