One of the best new artists to break through at 2000AD in these past few years is Tiernen Trevallion. His style reminds me of all the right people (Kev Walker, Mike Mignola, Simon Bisley, Kevin O'Neill), and his inking is always deliciously thick and glossy.

I don't often check on the progress of my old blog, but when I do, I tend to notice the entry from November 2009 on Trevallion's designs for the Doctor Who animation "Dreamland" still racks up a fair few hits every month. And when not engaged in comics or as a conceptual artist, he has a third string to his bow, creating fine art of that low brow, transgressive kind I love so much.

On Facebook, Trevallion has been going on a big pre-Christmas push, selling prints of assorted images he has produced for 2000AD, and some images from the "Samovar of Filth," an ongoing series of tributes to the art of sleazy 1960s paperbacks. It's all great stuff, and he encourages everyone to email him for details (tiernen@tiernentrevallion.co.uk) of what he has left, quotes for worldwide shipping, etc.  Drop him a line.

Oh, and publishers, do yourself a favor and take a look at his still-languishing Feast of Toys pitch. It's amazing.
