COURAGEOUS COVER!

Creating the cover to National Tragedy's COURAGEOUS MAYHEM! was a labour of love - so here is a start to finish from concept to finished piece.  The final piece included logo and text design from Phil Barrett and you can see it here and browse some pages of COURAGEOUS MAYHEM! while you're in the trenches.

W E - R - 3 - A R C H I E  (2008)

It's funny how the anticipation of siring offspring can turn you into a mushy bastard - well this very fate befell your humble friend and fellow freak Master Templar - and this was the fluffy result... God help us all.

OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE OLD!

As we bid farewell to The Templar Times following the recent seizure of all its assets by the NSA, we usher in a new year with Archie Templar's new home for showcasing doodles, sketches and finished artwork that never quite saw the light of day - welcome to Archie's Art!

A lot of the images will be from projects that never got off the ground, or were only half finished - but rather than leave them lounging in development hell, it might be an idea to dust them off and showcase them, before they get really old and too embarrassing to show anyone.

So enjoy the posts and come back often, you are always welcome!
