:: "1983" ::
Following an exchange of increasingly passionate and erotic electronic mails Archie finally succumbed to the smouldering charms of Señor Bob Byrne and agreed to appear on his speckfunkular website Clamnuts. Below is the result; a one-shot entitled 1983, which looks at some highlights of Archies ten months spent in Ireland. Enjoy!
:: A LIFE :: Contribution to the Spirit Of Hope charity comic book (2011) JAPANESE
A five page one-shot for the Japan / New Zealand Earthquake Relief Comic this was written, thumbnailed, pencilled, inked, coloured, lettered and fully localised into Japanese over a 12 day period in between bouts of working for The Man and supporting a family.
Many, many thanks to Shinobu Koiwa for her invaluable Japanese contribution in more than just language and style, but also cultural inaccuracies that Archies silly Westerner eyes just plum got wrong.

:: Coiffeur (2009), From the book “Eurotash” ::
Movember is the global charity responsible for raising awareness of men’s health and in particular fighting against Up-Your-Bum-Cancer, or “Prostate Cancer” as it is controversially known.

Archie’s contribution takes us back in time and to the South of France to a place where the moustachioed gent is king!
