GIANT ROBOT JUDGE DREDD

Judge Mo-Bot! You want a bigger version? HERE is your bigger version.

Here is today's drawing for Mo-Bot Blog Week! Enjoy!

The SECRET ORIGIN of today's drawing: I was at the 2D festival in Derry, and I remember a couple of fine comics artists - Rufus Dayglo and Rob Davis, if memory serves - saying that they'd never really found "their" Judge Dredds; that whenever they tried drawing him, Mike McMahon's version came out, so profound was the influence of that great artist and his defining work on that character.

Anyway, that resonated with me. I've tried drawing Judge Dredd a couple times but it's never really worked - largely, I think, because I've never found "my" version either. (Not due to McMahon-influence in my case; much as I love that guy's work, I was always more of a Bolland kid. Make of that what you will). So I started thinking: what would my Judge Dredd look like?

Well, obviously he'd be a massive neon giant robot. I can't believe I didn't see it right away.

Judge Dad

Bedtimes were strictly enforced in the Dredd household.

I was going to save this for Father's Day but, dash it, that's ages off. It was too cute, I had to blog it. A commission of "Judge Dredd, with two little dredds - toddler dredd and baby dredd." Quasi-fascist comic-book anti-heroes and parenting; thanks to Nikki who asked for it, for giving me the excuse to draw something so entirely fun.

Do you know a Dad? Do they have a nerdy thing that they are into? Would you like to buy them a lovely present? Still taking commissions here!

Judge Dredd vs. the Public Convenience of DOOM

"Let me in, perp! I'm busting here!"

I thought I would try drawing some sample Judge Dredd pages to send to 2000AD! So that is what I did. They're based on the sample script 'PF' from the 2000AD website, which you can go and read for purposes of comparison should you so wish. These were quite fun because a lot of the 'action' is, well, it's just a dude sitting on a toilet, so it was a challenge to try and keep the panels dynamic and interesting.

These have been sent off to Mr Tharg for his consideration, I just thought I'd post them up here because - well, why not, really?

Wish me luck, faithful The Internet.
