Mr. Monster

Mr. Monster | Comic Syrup Press

My suitably creepy illustration will be available as a print to backers of the project.

The Tree Hunt

Tree Hunt | Holiday Card (unfolded, front and back showing)

This is the front and back of a new Christmas card depicting Santa with an axe and Jesus with a bow saw accompanying a group of elves and woodland creatures on a search to find this year's special tree. Among my favourite details in this piece is the pine cone hanging from Santa's hat and the thoughtful lamb carrying mittens. This is the fourth instalment in my Santa Clause Parade series.

Hang Your Stockings

 Say Your Prayers | Holiday Card (unfolded, front and back showing)

Like one, that on a lonesome road

Doth walk in fear and dread,

And having once turned round walks on,

And turns no more his head;

Because he knows, a frightful fiend

Doth close behind him tread.

-"Rime of the Ancient Mariner" A stanza from Part VI. 

With this festive image I've tried to capture some of the magic and wonder of the holidays and a little bit of the scary. I'm thinking of calling it, "Hang Your Stockings, Say Your Prayers" or "Said the Night Wind to the Little Lamb". The illustration was designed to be a card where the full image is revealed when it's unfolded. Santa and the kids on the front, big ugly Krampus on the back.

Each folded card measures about 4.5x6.25"(31cm x 11cm unfolded)

To purchase this card, please email me at, ap@alexanderperkins.com or alexandervictor@gmail.com

Kill Shakespeare Board Game | IDW

I was pleased to find out a couple of weeks ago that the cover art I created for Kill Shakespeare #11 will soon be given a new life as the cover art to the upcoming board game!

To see a little more of the thought and process behind the image check out my earlier post linked here, Kill Shakespeare Cover Art.

Nelvana of the Northern Lights

Nelvana | Personal Work

Created by artist Adrian Dingle in 1941, Canada's own Nelvana of the Northern Lights was among the very first female superheroes, even predating Wonder Woman. I made this piece to celebrate the launch of a local campaign to reprint the original comics which have been out of circulation for more than 60 years. Prints of this peice as well as contributions from many other artists will be available as incentives to backers. To learn more about Nelvana and to support the campaign please visit the Kickstarter page linked here. 

What appeals to me the most about the mysterious goddess of the North is her mystical quality and fashion sense, that she rides atop her shapeshifting brother Tanero is pretty cool too.  Flying through the sky as a great dane or later, a polar bear.

Originally intended as an 11"x17" ink drawing, part way through I started experimenting with washes and cut paper.  When things started to get a little messy I moved on to the computer to pull it all together digitally.
