Body art…
I think you know I love Judge Dredd by now, and a couple of years ago I decided to add to my tattoos with a Judge Dredd piece. I don’t quite recall how this piece was selected exactly but the cover of megazine 302 was just so brilliant and it was one that really struck me with the wonderful character of Dredds face and the Artist that did my piece, Lee ‘Rudeboy’ Reynolds, really took to it.
The artwork was done by Simon Bisley and Glenn Fabry for the 20th anniversary edition of the megazine. This is the original.


I actually think I have one Simon Bisley piece of artwork tucked away somewhere but I’m not currently lucky enough to own a Glenn Fabry piece but it’s on my list of things to buy. Glenn Fabry’s Slaine work is particularly gorgeous and I’m pretty sure something that I will be covering in a future blog.
It took about 5 hours to do as I recall and the worst thing about it was not the pain of the needle but rather having to sit there lying forward with my left arm extended behind me for that amount of time.
I actually rather enjoy the pain and it certainly take your mind off everything when you’re sat there for that amount of time and in a weird sort of way it’s a quite fabulous way to relax and get away from everything else that might be on your mind.
Certainly well worth the time and money and a piece I just absolutely love. I have 2 other 2000AD pieces I will show you another time…

Thrill power overload
Comics. Just comics. 2000ad.
I began my #progslog in an attempt to read every copy of 2000AD which amounts to somewhere in the region of 2400 comic books given that it goes back to 1977. So far so good and I am getting through between 5 and 10 a day…
There are so many storylines that modern day films and books have taken from and as early as 1978 you can pretty much read the Plot for jurassic park in one of the strips.
Oh and a prog is just the name that was used 41 of the weekly publications.









This could take a while
To be almost exact I have about 2 and a half thousand of them. They date back to 1977, and I have every single issue Of the weekly copy of 2000ad.
Ever heard of Judge Dredd? Well it’s the one where you’ll find him.
I started reading when I was young and when I got the chance to buy all of the collection I did so about 18 years ago, and now I’ve continued to buy it every week.
But here is the thing, I’ve not actually read them all. So, I have decided that every single day as much as I can, I’m going to read 7 of them, and if I have any luck in about a year and a year I will have read every single one of them.
I realize it’s pretty ambitious and I’ll probably fall short but I think they deserve to be read again from the beginning so that is my intention.
Oh and when I read them my intention is to pop each one of them in a protective little bag and slot in a backboard and do my best to preserve them for as long as possible.
Actually I think that’s going to cost a bloody fortune. Oh well.
