more judge Dai and other assorted 2000AD stuff

in an earlier post i introduced my own character Judge Dai. hes a character based on the 2000AD character judge Dredd and inhabits the same world as Dredd but is instead in the apocalyptic land that is wales. after the atomic wars only a few towns survived in wales, abandoned by Britcit it is a town ruled only by the few judges who still live and get by in the town of Megadare. fighting roid boys, chavos and skanks its quite hard to get by but when you got a lawgiver its not all that bad..

G2 illustration cover work

within the gnarled wood something this way comes..

its been a while..a very long time actually to be true so here is all the work i haven't been putting up but believe me I'm very busy at the moment

miners of Caerau pt2

here are some more illustrations for my current project revolving around the miners of Caerau. there are also illustrations with the lyrics from Max Boyce's song "Duw its hard". i feel it really sums up the attitude of people and of miners it was a hard life, and they deserve respect. the first few are pencil drawings and the last ones are watercolour.

dredd aint the only judge..

i was looking into the story behind britcit in the old 2000 ads and found out that there were English and Scottish judges. naturally i was confused to see wales had nothing..it appears they are just nomads referred to as "Gaels" but i thought it right to create my own version of a welsh judge...judge Dai

 judge Dai

 Britcit judge

 Calhab judge

judge Dredd

miner of Caerau

for a current project im in the middle of illustrating the story of the decline of the coal industry in wales. its a sad tale although there are still collierys around there arnt as many as there were in the 19th century. its also a personal story due to my family having come from a mining backround. so heres a miner from the same little town as my family, caerau sittuated in the llynfi valley.
