Dear Dr Jackson, Since a recent incident at work involving a threat to end all life on Earth by destroying canisters of nerve gas, I seem to have lost my drive. I used to be able to hit that sweet spot every single time, but now I am struggling to simply maintain my grip. My last encounter with my partner was most unsatisfying as I simply couldn’t get it in…
Dear Dr Jackson, I used to have a good working relationship with my boss, we have been friends for many years, and in fact I was the best man at his wedding, but recently he has become increasingly distant and focussed on work. We no longer even share a drink anymore and he has started to ignore my advice. I sometimes feel that he prefers the company of his computer…

Perry Rhodan, Gozilla and its monsters, The Invaders, Raumpatrouille Orion, Star Trek,…
I like drawing some of the sets used in some of my favorite shows and movies. This is from Stingray with the sub in it’s pen. Though a “puppet show,” the attention to detail was incredible. I took an existing pic I did of Stingray and drew the pen around it. This qualifies as mixed media. I did the art in Corel, but used Photoshop to achieve the ripple effect…
This is SID. SID stands for Space Intruder Detector. It is from the Gerry Anderson series UFO. It detects the invading UFO forces before it reaches Earth. It is not manned, but it is a highly intelligen computer and warning system. It was hard to draw and took days. One of the reasons it is hard to draw is all the pics of this on the internet all vary some,…
