I don’t know if this has already been posted on here, but as Quitely is now on Twitter, it seems like a good moment to post this video. It’s an episode of ‘What Artists Do All Day’:
- great vidfadein11
- Yes, I think it was posted before, bit it deserved it!!OBBTKN
- Such a good vid. My friend watched it and said 'Why would anyone want to be a comic artist after that? His life seems like hell!'PhanLo
- This is great, thanks!Nairn
- @phanlo - someone doesn't understand the whole 'torture artist' schtick :)
If I was this guy, this is totally how I'd live.
I'm just a talentless hack though.Nairn - I've spent my entire life slightly envious of people who can actually sit still for long enough and Just Fucking Draw.
Shit takes time.Nairn - lol, *tortureD artist!
Artists torture themselves. There's no need for 2nd or 3rd party involvement.Nairn - I will always be astounded by people that can draw some incredibly from their imaginationBaskerviIle

- So many of these to revisit, but the memory of reading them as a teen is still vivid.spl33nidoru
- Sadly I realise I've completely lost the awe at comic artwork since giving up drawing.
I still appreciate it but don't feel the fascination I used to :(spl33nidoru

Duncan Jones to Direct Movie Adaptation of Rogue Trooper Comic Book
http://screenrant.com/rogue-troo…- Neat! Although personally I'd be as happy to see Sláine or ABC Warriors hit the big screen :)detritus
- ABC Warriors would be fucking awesome, especially if inspired by Simon Bisley
http://www.simonbisl…Bluejam - One of the Abc Warriors appeared briefly in the Stallone Dredd movie I think.
Used to love Rogue Trooper as a kid.PhanLo - thats sweet art thodocpoz

... looks a bit archaic now but the storyline / characters were way ahead of it's timeBluejam - The barber my folks took me to as a kid had 2000AD, like 40 years ago. Never stopped reading it. Just got the new version of The Apocalypse War. Still amazing.face_melter
- Although Rogue Trooper will always be my favourite. Cam's artwork remains incredible.face_melter
- Yeah, Cam & Fort Neuro storyline was one of the better Rogue Trooper moments although I think I prefered Colin Wilson's artwork ...Bluejam
