- by Andrew Cheverton. An art meme appropriated from Mr Douglas Noble, and which I have done simply to feel better about the lack of comic work I managed this year… January: The Whale House. A wraparound cover sketch I provided for series artist Peet Clack to work from. A slow start to the year. February: Doctor Who. The tenth Doctor on a birthday card for my son. March: The Shadow. A trading card sketch (2.5” by 3.5”), done for swaps with other artists. This one went to Shadow art collector Alan Henderson. April: Flesh. Character designs for ‘Claw’ Carver and Earl Reagan, done for Will Kirkby’s 2000AD fanzine NU Earth. The deadline was too tight for me to manage all five pages, so I switched to… May: Slaine. From my one-page story in NU Earth. There’s talk of a NU Earth 2, so I hope to get the Flesh story in that. June: Boba Fett. Done as an ink sketch during the Bristol SPExpo convention, for a kid wearing a Boba Fett T-shirt. I was hoping he’d come round again so that I could surprise him with it, but I didn’t see him again. I later finished it off with grey marker. July: Pictures Made of Light. A character from a 16-page comic that I’ve been working on for a million years. The end of 2010 was far busier than the start, so this has been delayed. Should have it done for the London Comic & Small Press Expo in March. August: West. A sketch of Jerusalem West done for a mail order customer who bought one of everything. Also good practice for the story I’m drawing in West: Stray Bullets. September: Attic. A 2-page strip written by Jason Cobley for his Bulldog Clips collection. This was shaded in pencil, and was a bugger to work with. Can’t say that I’m unhappy with the results, though. October: Charlie Chaplin. From a comic review I did (with some help from my daughter) of the DVD of City Lights, done for Electric Sheep magazine. November: Black Dog Rib. A 3-page strip (based on my Elephant Words short story) published in Rob Jackson’s Gin Palace 2 anthology, and  about which Optical Sloth reviewer Kevin Bramer said, “…a story about a black dog rib that flew right over my head…” December: Martian War Machine. Drawn for my daughter after we’d greatly enjoyed seeing Jeff Wayne’s musical of War of the Worlds Alive on Stage.
