Biker Wolf
Head Full of Snakes
2012
Biker Wolf proceeds from a straightforward premise: a man who turns into a werewolf when he rides his bike. An ongoing series of eight-page comics, it is produced for Head Full of Snakes, a motorbike magazine made by the designers Luke Wood and Stuart Geddes.
The series occupies a deliberately different register to the rest of my practice—that I neither ride motorcycles nor draw with any regularity is precisely its value, removing me from my usual way of working and setting a specific and unexpectedly difficult problem: to reproduce the look and the frank B-grade quality of an old horror comic, an idiom considerably harder to counterfeit than it first appears.
The project has accumulated slowly, issue by issue, into a larger body of work—one that may, in time, be gathered into a book of its own.
Above: issue #3 of Head Full of Snakes. Below: issue #2.
