Hi Martin,
Thanks for your beautiful artwork over at Interzone. Loved what you did with "Needlepoint" and have just seen the illustration for "Lady Dragon & the Netsuke Carver" which is spot on. Thanks for getting the scar in the right place too!
All the best,
Priya

comicbookart [2012-04-17 11:46:05 +0000 UTC]

hey great work!

I am currently looking for independent comic book artists to sell their work through my website www.comicbookart.co.uk the site only recently launched but has had a number of requests for me to source original art alongside the framed comics I provide and I am currently looking for excellent artists to join up and sell their work through the site.

I am looking to be dealing with all the print, marketing and customer supply myself so only need artwork and artist profiles to get started, would be great if you fancied contributing please get in touch!

all the best and keep up the good work.

Henry

I've got plenty of ideas for 2000AD related pictures as well as some of my own,either based on Bal Sagoth characters or twisted versions of existing things.

damn - your art is so great... Btw - I've done some Bal Sagoth logo stuff. If you have some seconds have a look at them in my gallery (one of it was also featured in the re-issue of "The Power Cosmic"
Cheers,

Greetings! I was wondering where I could find an image of the artwork used in The Power Cosmic digipak. I've been looking for it for a while, with no success. It's really one of the cooler characters you've drawn!

MartinHanford1974 In reply to UncloudTheSky [2012-01-27 07:43:19 +0000 UTC]

The Power Cosmic digipak?,that would be the either The Angsaar Trilogy or the Armoured Caylen Tor (The one under the disc),I don't have the Caylen Tor artwork anymore as it was for a T shirt and I don't know who has it,I'll ask around if that's the one you mean.

UncloudTheSky In reply to MartinHanford1974 [2012-01-27 15:24:57 +0000 UTC]

Yep, that'd be the Armoured Caylen Tor. Many thanks in advance!

I've asked around and nobody involved with it knows where the original is,it was done long before I had the right sized scanner so I don't have any scans of it,I do have the original drawings before the helmet was added,sorry about that.

Great coincidence, today I see my old disc of Bal Sagoth's "The Power Cosmic", search your name for your incredible cover (one of my favourites ever) and here you are, with 2 weeks in DA

Sorry my english, and welcome

(I hope to see that cover, to give it my fav)

I've only just realized it (The Power Cosmic) isn't on here,I'll add it asap probably with some of the original sketches.
