Firstly.. another page covered by our dear friend Christian for the titan release of Tank Girl – Skidmarks, this summer..

Next month’s Judge Dredd Megazine will have an all new Tank Girl Cover too!

Now…
Proof positive that buying back your childhood is alive and well..

I present a 1979 Gundam Wind up robot by Clover toys… winging it’s way too me soon.

This month’s Tankie Pin Up will go live on Suicide Girls website on Sunday… sorry it’s late this month, but I’m moving, and it’s been chaos.

I’m gonna be offline for 3+weeks as I’ve got to get a phone line installed, which is a right bore…

I’m working on the penultimate Tank Girl – Skidmarks episode, and am excited about the new series we have lined up.

Here’s some sketches for the new Pin Up on SG..

More soon, peoples!

Love and tanks…

On Saturday, March 21st, between 1 and 2:30pm, FORBIDDEN PLANET Mega Store in London is having it’s 30th Anniversary Signing with a whole load of Artists and writers signing, sketching and wrestling with the Comic buying Public!

I’ll be there signing and sketching and would love to see some of you down there..

I’ll post an update when the guest list is confirmed for all attending Artists and Writers…

Come along…. It’ll be a cracker!

In other news.. I’m moving this weekend…so will be off the net for a few weeks/months/years as I wrestle with BRitish Telecom about getting a bloody phone line installed (You’d think this would be easy huh?)

I went to meet Si Spencer, writer, and one time Editor of Deadline magazine, (the original home of Tank Girl) at his local pub to pick up the Tank Girl Pin Up I’d bought from him.

It was pouring, as if Noah himself was bailing out the ark above us, as I stumbled through London’s wet wind blasted streets.

I found both the art, and Si propped at the bar, holding court…

We had a good ol’ natter, he told me some great Comics related gossip, and then I wrapped my new precious art in Tesco bags (Only the best for me, huh?) and headed back into the night..

This piece has always had a special place in my heart, and quite by chance, was the only page I ripped out of any of the ol’ GNs, and pinned it to my desk when I started drawing TG.

Scanned it this morning.. so for the first time, People can see it in it’s uncropped glory.

Enjoy!

Ruf

Wow..How to follow Alan’s post of a boy dressed as a rabbit from Watership Down.. hmm..

Well…. here’s some line work for an upcoming episode…

While Tankie drives,   Booga plays cards with Chunky Tumbler, the big boobied woman/ex-dwarf/smurf…  It’ll make sense one day..honestly.

Ruf

Christian Krank, our top secret weapon aboard Team Tank, sent me this DPs coloured up this morning…what a great way to start the day!
This was my favourite part to draw, so I’m really pleased that Christian has done such a stupendous job on this.

Hurray for Us!

.. to quote Marlon Brando at his bloated best.

In what can only be described as an email that cheered me up no end, my ol’ buddy Simon Morse sent me this photo.. Circa early 90s

Michele Perry, Simon Morse, James Morse, Gilbert Best, and yours truly Rufus Dayglo outside our flat in an old warehouse.

Our downstairs neighbours’ incontinent dog did the World’s evilest biggest diarrhoea mid summer right in that glass doorway.. It cooked in the heat..
You took your life in your hands braving those stairs!

See kids..this was punk rock when you had to make fun yourself.. LOL
