Jurassic Who
I don’t know why The Doctors are dinosaurs, but I like it.

I’m branching out.
I’ve decided to expand my horizons a little and to some covers that mash-up “Doctor Who” with other things and not just Take That.
You may have seen my recent posts for my “Waters of Mars” covers where I mentioned the “John Carter” movie that was released by Disney a couple of months ago. Well, you’ve guessed it, I’ve done some John Carter/Doctor Who mash-up Radio Times covers and here’s the first!
“Pyramids of Mars” was a 1970s Tom Baker “Doctor Who” story that I’ve already done a Take That cover for. As the John Carter books are set on Mars it’s an obvious place to start.
The idea I had was to try and suggest a story that used elements of the Carter and Who mythologies. Just imagine: Captain Carter discovers the Pyramid of Sutekh on Mars and the TARDIS lands there soon after. John and The Doctor have to overcome the tricks and traps of the Pyramid to free Sarah-Jane and Dejah Thoris!
“John Carter” is released on DVD and Blu-ray in the States in June and here in the UK in July. It’s wonderful. See it.

Saw this while browsing for Captain America art; re-blogging it because its adorable

Here’s another cover that was done as a profile picture back in 2009, in this case to plug the start of the third series of “The Sarah Jane Adventures”.
This is another one that looks quite primitive nowadays. I was still using the scanned in RT cover and hadn’t yet cleaned it up by blocking in the white areas with the paintbrush tool. And like the cover for “Planet of the Dead” the text is placed very badly.
This was before I learned about using Photoshop to colour tint images; I actually bought a green lightbulb for this!
The layout was based on the cover of the novel of the Who story “The Invisible Enemy” but flipped on the horizontal. (Jeff Cummins? Roy Knipe? I can’t remember who drew the original…)
If I was to redo this now I wouldn’t make any fundamental changes but I think it would look a fair bit better…

God, this one hasn’t aged well.
Hard to believe it’s over THREE YEARS since “Planet of the Dead” was on , isn’t it?
There wasn’t a full series of “Doctor Who” in 2009, just a few scattered “specials” and I’ve already posted my cover for “Waters of Mars” so here’s the profile pic I did for the episode that was shown at Easter that year.
I remember standing for ages at the corner of Argyle Street and Union Street in Glasgow to photograph a Glasgow bus. The gag here is that it’s a different “Eastenders” actress from Michelle Ryan.
This is very untidy. The text looks bad for a start. If I was doing this now it’d be much better…

First post in ages. Sorry.
It’s Howard Donald’s birthday today!
To celebrate here’s a Radio Times cover that mashes the name of the second last Jon Pertwee “Doctor Who” story with Howard’s surname.
It’s not bad, Aggedor should have probably been a little higher up…
