There's Something In The Words!

I'm conscious that I'm a little lax in updating my blog lately, being hard at work on more pages of 'Unbelievable', so for those following, here's a quick update:

I recently received the first of two forewords for my graphic novel, from one of my heroes Nick Redfern. Nick is the author of many books on the worlds of the paranormal and the unexplained, including: There's something in the Woods; Man-Monkey; Strange Secrets; and A Covert Agenda. (One of Nick's blogs, which boasts some of my artwork can be found here: Manbeast UK

To say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement, here's a brief excerpt,

`Simon has skilfully weaved together a swirling tale of magical, Gothic, cryptozoological and sinister proportions that rather reminds me of a perfect combination of those classic old Hammer horror-films of the late 1950s and 1960s; The Hound of the Baskervilles; Primeval; Scooby-Doo; The Secret Seven; and a good old adventure tale of the type that are sorely missed today. And all told in Simon's own unique style and brand, too, of course.'

I'm still smiling.

And in other news, I'll shortly be uploading some pics of the early stages of two 'Unbelievable' sculpts I'm working on, a maquette of 'Rax' and a bust of `Cracky'.

Till next time,

'Don't turn around,
Don't make a sound,
And never,
Ever.....
RUN!'

Heheh!
