influence since I was about 10 years old and now in this project his art and talent re- mains with me not only did he invent EDDIE the Iron Maid- en mascot but also got kicked out of art college for disagree- ing with his tutors about the course he was on in London in the 1970’s so is an artistic rebell perfect for Iron Maiden and their music. in the 80’s and 90’s

Crit and context of your project, Mine is a comic about being wrong and at odds with different species from a vampires point of view and looking at how other illustrators do their art I have included TMNT and Bone as inspirations, both early issues were done in pen and ink.
