I was in Utrecht last week. It's unimaginable that a motorway once ran through the centre of the city. They removed it & have created a people friendly, accessible, liveable city centre. It was one of the best cities of my Europe trip. Imagine what Glasgow could do Replace The M8

History will judge us all.

Once again, here's another upcoming cover for Star Wars Hyperspace Stories from Dark Horse Comics . This time it's for Obi-Wan. I'm enjoying drawing some of my favourite SW characters.
