    Re: Claim to fame as a kid?

    How incredibly annoying.
    I assumed that the Eagle we wanted was 195, as that how an Ebay seller had laid out a selection of consecutive mags (192-199). Counting across gave me 195 as the issue I was after, but after tracking down Issue 195, its not the right one.
    Still searching

      What a shame. I've still got it somewhere, but I don't know exactly where it is at the moment, and I've never posted a photo on here.

            What made me smile was the fact that you did it in biro. Why did we always used to do that as kids? Or was it just me and Austin Maxi?

              The funny thing is, I became such a childhood expert with a biro, that I still illustrate with one now. Have a look online for a book called 'For A Successful Life' by author Bas Haring (published by Beautiful Books in 2008) - the cover illustration of a man on a faraway beach in swimming trunks and tie making a sand office block was drawn by me. It's in colour, but before I coloured it I drew it out first in biro. The book is also full of black & white cartoons also by me, drawn entirely in biro.

                  I looked that up Austin - wow, I didn't realise you were a professional. Great to see your early success too. Thanks sixtyten.

                    Thanks Sixtyten. Well, there you go, my early claim to fame there.

                    I forgot to mention that I also drew my avatar in biro as well.

                      That's a pretty impressive drawing for 13 years old AM! No wonder you are a professional now!
                      Love the avatar pic too!

                        Thanks Kazboot.

                        I work as a freelance illustrator, but I don't get a lot of work, so I have a sort-of regular job. That said, I'm working on another book cover illo at the moment. I'll let you know when that comes out.

                          Noooo I've followed this thread through just to find out that Sixty's picture isn't there anymore.
                          Can we get it back please.

                            Beyond our control i'm afraid, the link to his picture is now broken it seems.
                            The only thing to look forward to is the past
