My book ‘Last Call for Sin’ a collection of modern pinup girls is available right here  and if you live in Australia it’s also available in 60+ stores nationwide.

It’s a fantastic-looking little book with, as he says, ‘74 pages of wall to wall art, 38 full colour pages and 36 b&w. Collects various work from 2007-08, including sketches which have never seen the light of day, TPA comic strips of the highest (and crudest) calibre, pinups, robots, mexican wrestlers, girls…’ It has a good mix of media, with all sorts of gems from sketches to comics to illustrations, and has been put together and presented really thoughtfully.
