fun facts about me

My name is Dave Davenport, but I am sometimes known as "Dogspunk", and sign my artwork "DDOG". I've been tattooing since 1996 and making comic books since 2004. In a past life I animated video games.

bed-time reading.

                       
At SD comic-con this year i gleefully spent my comic-book budget all on the first day at the 2000ad table. I've begun tearing through it in chronological order, which would be the latest "complete case files", #19, collecting work from mid-1993, much of which I had never read before.
Brian Bolland's cover art. Bolland did no interior art.

It seems this was towards the end of a years-long low point for the character of Judge Dredd, and it is just plain boring. Even the stuff written by John Wagner has artwork that is just painful to look at. Kudos to 2000ad for doing so much fully painted (as in with paint) artwork during the early '90s, but damn there's a lot of crap there. Can't wait to get through it, but it just puts me to sleep immediately and so I am taking a really long time to get to the end :(

Art high point #1-Ezquerra drawn "Inferno" written by Grant Morrion .


Art high point #2- Ron Smith, an artist whose work I once upon a time I did not care for. Silly Me.
