25 Things you Didn’t Know About Superman (for Virgin Movies)

Superman: The Movie was released the year after I was born. Yep, I’m ‘old’! I don’t think I saw it until I was five or six, but growing up, along with Star Wars, the Christopher Reeve movies were my absolute favourite things. It was only much later that I learned about Donner getting fired before having chance to finish the sequel, Lester taking over and exploring a more comedic direction, and so on. As a child, all I knew was that Christopher Reeve was the absolute embodiment of the character to me, even as the budgets (and literally the sets) began to crumble around him. The power of that first film always stayed with me.

I know Superman Returns has plenty of critics, and I guess I’m as sentimental about the original as Bryan Singer must have been, but I enjoyed the fact that it paid homage to Donner and Reeve, and felt it was a shame that Brandon Routh didn’t get to have another shot at the role.

Cut to 2013, and my own son was born in January. I really hope that Man of Steel will be a fitting (new) tale for my son’s generation, as I honestly feel that the world is better off with Superman in it.

Anyway, with bringing the nostalgic waffle to an end (!), it was a pleasure to create this for Virgin Movies, probably 30 years after I first drew the character…

Dr Slump Vol 1 | Kult Book Covers Exhibition | Singapore 2013

Client: Kult 3D / Singapore
Publication/Event: Kult Magazine Issue 11 / Exhibition ‘Book Covers’ theme

“We asked over 50 designers, artists, illustrators and photographers to choose a book which has influenced them and shaped who they are today. They have chosen books to bring them back to the front of our minds.”

I Re-imagined – Dr Slump Vol 01 – ‘The Birth of Arale’s book cover, for Kult Studio / Gallery’s ‘Book’ themed magazine and exhibition. I wanted to pay homage to one of the greatest mangakas, Akira Toriyama whose work I grew up with. The imagination, story-telling and worlds created by Toriyama, ignited my love for illustration and inspired me to create my own worlds and characters.

BE AWESOME. FOR MEES.

Okay Tumblr, this is your chance to do something really awesome. The young man in the photo there is called Mees, he’s almost 2 years old, he lives in the Netherlands and he has cancer.

Mees has been so brave up to now, he has a tumour that has grown from his bottom, through his pelvis to his tummy. Mees’ parents, Jan and Inge, are an amazing couple, full of positivity and love. Mees has been having treatment at his local hospital for 2 months, Mees calls it his ‘second home’, his bed on wheels is a ‘car bed’ and all the tubes and wires attached to him are antennae, Mees likes to play robots.

Things have gotten serious, and now Mees, Jan and Inge need to travel to the Florida Proton Institute in Jacksonville, Fl, USA for radiation treatment. Medical insurance is covering a lot of expenses but we (that’s all of us Tumblr, for Mees) have to raise another 30,000 Euros to cover the rest and ensure that both Jan and Inge can travel with Mees.

Mees’ father, Jan, is a member of our illustration collective The Mighty Pencil, so we have come together and launched a set of feelgood greetings cards, inspired by Mees, Jan and Inge. You can buy a pack of cards and, if you’re able, add a further donation to your order on our website.

You can find further information on the foundation for Mees on FORMEES.NL.
