BLENDER MAGAZINE - THE AXE HAS FALLEN

Last week i received disheartening news that my trusty client Blender magazine has folded. According to various sources on the web, advertising dollars had began to fall as a result of the economic crisis and Alpha Media group decided to pull the plug, with this month's issue featuring Kelly Clarkson on the cover, being it's last. Blender had been a regular client of mine since the August 2008 issue, I was privileged to be given the 'Ask Blender' feature each issue to illustrate. And working with the immensely talented Art director Rob Vargas was always a pleasure. For the next issue which sadly will never be in print form, we worked on an epic 4 full page, full colour Comic on metal band Mastodon's infamous visit to New York Comic Con. I will keep it under wraps until an avenue is found for it to be published, online no doubt. 

So, I thought I would take this post to republish each illustration I worked on with Blender. From the first issue up until the last. You will be sadly missed Blender.
