Friends on the net:-
 Fat
Cat Records - My mate Duncan Sumpner records under the name
'Songs of Green Pheasant'. His first official album was released
on CD on the 12th September 2005 on Fat Cat Records. One of my prints
'Archer on the Slopes' has
been used as the cover and I created an ilustration for his second
album 'Gyllyng Street'.
Finkfurniture
is the brainchild of Finbar Lucas, whose training in both
furniture-making and fine art gives a unique edge to his designs.
Whilst working in South-East Asia he found
himself afflicted with a kind of insomnia caused by designing furniture
in his head. "As soon as I returned I was boiling to get started,
and with help from the Prince's Trust I was soon able to leave my
part-time job and launch Finkfurniture as a full-time concern."
Now in our third year, we are growing rapidly
and are planning to move to a larger workshop in central Sheffield
soon. This website is regularly updated with new work, so bookmark
us now to keep informed of developments, and we look forward to
hearing from you soon.

Favourite Illustrators:-
D'Israeli aka Matt Brooker
- Matt is the artist on "Scarlett Traces" one of the best
British Sci-Fi strips published in recent years.
Scarlet Traces was first printed over 3 issues in the 2000AD Megazine
in late 2002. It showcases Matts restrained use of computer colouring
which (in contrast to most fantasy strips) never clouds the drawings
up with gratuitous, sparkly effects.
Yves Chaland -
A French comic artist who followed in the footsteps of Herge.
Rian Hughes - Superb
all round designer. Creates fantastic fonts and his illustrations
always have great colours. If you are not already aware of his work
you will be indirectly as his style has been copied relentlessly
over the last few years.
Max - A spanish
illustrator featured on the site of his American publisher Drawn
& Quarterly.
Steven
Martin - Steven is the author of Terrible Sunrise a fantastic
series based around the events that caused the 1st World War. You
can read reviews of the issues here
and here.
Bruce Timm -
In being responsible for the look of "Batman: The Animated
Adventures" Timm created a mass market product that referenced,
amongst many things, German Expressionism. Pretty good for a cartoon
aimed at the Saturday morning kids TV.
The style of the show also pays homage to pretty much all of the
best comic artists such as Alex Toth, Jack Kirby and the Fleischer
brothers Superman cartoons.
Weblogs I follow:-
Pete Ashton - A promoter
of small press comics (self published comics created by amatuers
& semi-professionals) Pete always has something interesting
to say or recommend.
Number 6 blog - My brothers
posts things about programming in Unix. Goes over my head but I
still read it.
