Sadly the original website is dead and digital dust, but I had started designing its successor before the virus struck. I do have the layouts as flat jpg images. I might put them on my deviant art page.

tedious tedious tedious system they have in place 

Being unable to see any way of posting to a topic, I may as well start here and introduce myself in the only place that seems willing to let me post.

Actually, I *stopped* buying 2000ad years ago (booo), but always kept a passing interest in it. Also other things in life got in the way. While I was still buying, I made a couple of relevant websites, the main one being for Durham Red. About 1999/2000... good grief.

Anyway, decided to join this forum now that I have belatedly got round to putting the original art that I own onto comicartfans. I would be that doing on Wakefields site but the sign-up form kept coming back with a stupidly obtuse error and I haven't yet bothered to contact him direct. I very quickly spotted the 2000ad Covers Blog here and I immediately joined, and I hope to provide Pete Wells (I think thats him) with a couple of pieces of original cover art. Kind of appropriate that his latest post is a cover by Mark Harrison, since its mostly his work I have got (also got a couple of Siku's and a page by Simon Davies).

And then there is Glimmer Rats. As a reward/gift for my work on the Red website - I collaborated with Mark quite a lot into bringing to the site a lot of extra stuff, even got original scripts from Dan Abnett - he gave me a whole bunch of pre-cgi-process Glimmer art, about 60 pages worth, more as a few are double sides. I started to upload last night. I'll keep adding a few at a time but its a bloody tedious repetative business. Search for Mark Harrison and they ought to show up.

It was dreadful when my computer got nobbled by the Chernobyl virus 10-odd years ago. I was able to retrieve the folders containing my correspondance with Mark but have never been able to extract any meaningful info from them, and that includes my address book, then had to do without a computer for a good while. So, while other things were happening life-wise, I lost touch with Mark. Hopefully I can find a channel to drop him a line.

So anyway, thats me re-introduced,
