Darren Gregson - The Scribble Machine

Back in April, I posted a Q&A session with Darren Gregson on my M.A.S.K. Comics blogspot.  Darren is a Graphic Designer who recently moved from his home in England to live in the Good Ol' US of A with his wife.

Darren recently posted the following picture on his Facebook Page - The Scribble Machine -

Darren was experimenting and decided to draw an American Tractor Unit/Big Rig.  When this was posted on his page, not only was I taken aback by how good an artist he truly is, but I saw a similarity between his drawing and one of the most iconic vehicles from M.A.S.K. - namely Rhino.

As illustrated below from Issue 3 of the UK M.A.S.K. Comic.

On The Scribble Machine Blog, we then have this evolution -

I contacted Darren and asked if he would mind if I added his drawing as part of MASKart on my blog.  He asked me to hold off on this for a little while so that he could tweak it to fit in on my blog and below is the fantastic image that he has sent over.

It's great to see the progression from an initial sketch to coloured final image.  Darren explains more of the evolution on his blogspot!  I am pleased to say, I now have this as my Desktop Image on my PC at work.  I'm not sure that Darren intended this image to be Rhino when he started drawing it - but perhaps M.A.S.K. runs deep in him and he subconsciously drew this in respect of one of his favourtie childhood comics.

Darren has a great appreciation for the Artists and their work on the UK M.A.S.K. comic and I'm envious of the fact that he has had the opportunity to interact with them over the years.

The Platform Hub is multifaceted and Art & Artists are very much part of what we are looking for.  Whether it be Graphic Designers, with talent like Darren's, to work as part of various projects or Cartoonists for printed comics and graphic novels or animated cartoons.
