Sadly I seldom use social media, but I'll be honest in saying that artists have come and artists have gone over the years and the majority of them have produced some incredible artwork for 2000A.D. and the Megazine, but your work is among the very best.

     I've also met Brian Bolland, it must have been around eight years ago at some convention - I forget which one (sorry) and he was nice enough to do a very quick sketch for me which he signed and that is now pride of place in my original art collection.

     As for me, I adore the Dredd character and strips - and even have the Daily Star collections, as well as all of the specials. I've been attempting for the last two years to start writing a A-Z of Dredd, and yes, I'm aware this has been done before, but it would be my own take on the subject, using the original strips and media to produce a book.

     Recent health issues have made the task difficult, but I hope to have those issues resolved soon. Anyway, I've already produced technical artwork inspired by the 2000A.D. artwork - you can see that at my gallery in the 2000A.D. folder.

     I've always wanted to do what you do but simply don't have that specific artistic gene that allows for the creativity, and such easy presentation of the human form in either graphite or ink, which is why by way of artistic compensation, I went for the technical side of things and have been illustrating in that way for much of the last forty years.

     My favorite artists are, of course, Carlos Ezquerra, Kevin O'Neill,  Brian Bolland, Dave Gibbons, Massimo Belardinelli, Ron Smith, Alan Davis, Glenn Fabry, Ian Gibson, Steve Sampson, Arthur Ranson ... and so many more. Heroes all in my book.

     I have from time to time acted as a technical consultant for 2000A.D. related media, although have not been credited for such at my own request nor accepted payment for such projects.
