User Tags: cartoonist, concept artist, designer, illustrator

At the moment I work as a concept artist at UK MGS game developer Rare, but I also do some freelance illo work. I used to work in magazine design and have illustrated loads of mag covers over the years. I'm more known for the, currently in vogue, 'manga/anime' style but I like to think of myself as just a cartoonist. As my Mum used to say "you only draw stupid stuff!" (she said it nicely). I quite like the fact that I've made a living drawing 'stupid stuff'. In my copious (yeah, right) spare time I also run (with my much better half) a little UK online toy and comic art supplies shop - dinkybox

I've also got a little blog here

and I've just finished a little video games themed anthology comic called Smart Bomb!! which you can find HERE.

Peace and hugs
Wil

Hope you don't mind me asking, but did you work on a Nintendo magazine in the past ...? Or is it my mind playing tricks?
Love your style, by the way :)

Yes, in my distant-ish past (the 90s) when I was a mag designer I did the covers to the UK Super Nintendo title - Super Play and a a fair few for its successor - N64. Your past always comes back to haunt you :) Just don't go as far back as Anime UK!

BTW - I just checked your comic pages - very nice!
