Philip Bond has posted some commissions on his Flickr stream, including some fine Dredd-related ones:

It'd be great to see him back in the prog if a suitable story arose...

What a great find. Have to say that Hershey is quite wonderful thing to open in your web browser and then to my amazement things got better with that Anderson Ape skull page. Brilliant stuff.

Interesting different take on the lawgiver in the Hershey picture too.

Philip says, "...just a couple of commission pieces for someone working at Rebellion - just for his collection, nothing official 2000ad."
Ah well, we live in hope.

Love Philip Bond... totally jealous of these commissions.
The Anderson and 'Death' one is just fabulous.

This man is completely wasted on US superhero comics.

Ah yes, Wired World, that was fun. There's definitely a niche for drawing women that would make excellent '90s girlfriends, see also Los Bros, Jamie Hewlitt and Evan Dorkin.

Did he ever do anything for the prog apart from Time Flies? (I'd like to slag it off, what with it being early 2000ad Garth Ennis, but I to be honest I thought it was ok.) The sequel was gubbins though

The belated sequel seems like one of those strips David Bishop was on about in Thrillpower Overload, which had been sitting in a plan chest for years and had to be run because of Egmont procurement policy. The fact Bond only drew part of it suggests a lack of commitment and/or enthusiasm from at least one of the parties involved.
To the best of my knowledge, Time Flies and its associated covers were Bond's only work for 2000ad, Crisis, Revolver, or The Megazine. Bond and Hewlett were already nascent superstars by the time their first efforts for 2000ad saw print, so Tharg doesn't even have the usual Future Shock or off-model Dredd pin-up that most UK comics legends cut their teeth on from REM's biggest fan.

Ah, I see. I remember plenty of Deadline stuff from him of course; between him and the Hewlett lad they really defined the look of that comic (even though Steve Dillon and Brett Ewins were kind of the main men there).
