BABE OF THE DAY - RACHEL RILEY...

Time for today's glamour

(over and above my photo on

the right, that is), so here's bright-

as-a-button RACHEL RILEY to

provide it. McSCOTTY will surely

be happy to see her, being a huge

fan of hers. But then, who isn't?

(Apart, that is, from CAROL

VORDERMAN. Heh!)

Kid said...: Aha! Managed to tear yourself away from the hedges outside Judith Ralston's house, eh, McScotty? Trying to make Rachel jealous? I'll look up Suzi Peri right away.; 27 March 2015 at 13:06
John Pitt said...: Right you two, I see what you both mean now! My missus has had Jimmy Carr's Countdown on the box quite a lot lately and my eyes are getting sore with not blinking!

About the artist:

From 1985 to 2000 A.D. (little joke there), I contributed to a variety of high profile comics and magazines for various companies.

For IPC/FLEETWAY/EGMONT, I freelanced as a lettering and logo artist on various weekly comics and monthly magazines, and also as a resize comic artist and spot illustrator on pocket books, summer specials and annuals.

For MARVEL U.K., BLACK LIBRARY, REDAN and USBORNE BOOKS, I again freelanced as a lettering artist, also working as a restoration artist for MARVEL U.S., restoring and re-creating certain pages of JACK KIRBY art for their MARVEL MASTERWORKS editions.

I also lettered the MARVELMAN sample pages submitted to MARVEL U.S. when they were considering acquiring the character, which - as we all now know - they DID.

Supplied comic strips, cartoons and illustrated advertisements for local business campaigns and newspaper publication on a professional basis since the age of 16. Did my first paid art job for publication at 14 or 15 for Lanarkshire Education Board.

Have also made TV appearances as a collector of memorabilia.
