Neroy Sphinx- What You See Ain't What You Get (b+w)

I drew this strip by writer Dan Whiston for the small press title FutureQuake a few years ago. When 2000Ad's Tharg (Matt Smith) announced he was going to feature amateur comics in The Judge Dredd Megazine our editor decided this would be a good one to submit. So we were all delighted when in appeared in Meg 263.

Here are the black and white unlettered pages

Some comic strips

I just realized some of my comic strips can be viewed online. Check the links here and on Irish Comics Wiki

His work has appeared in The Dubliner magazine, the Judge Dredd Megazine, and in small press anthologies including FutureQuake Press's FutureQuake and Something Wicked, Omnivistascope's Solar Wind and Duke Étrange's World of Weird, and Misty Comic Special as well as a pin up image for the the 2008 GOAL benefit anthology Sorry I can't take your call right now but I'm off saving the world.'
