Museum of Classic Sci-Fi

I was recently lucky to visit Neil Cole’s Museum of Classic Sci-Fi, tucked away in the rolling hills of the Northumbrian countryside. I was blown away by the sheer amount of screen-used props, costumes and production models in Neil’s collection, and most of all his impressive ‘archive’ of classic Doctor Who items.

While the Doctor Who section makes up the bulk of the museum, you’ll also see a vast range of items from films and series such as the Star Wars and Star Trek franchises, Alien, Prometheus, Planet of the Apes, Babylon 5, The Tripods, Blake’s 7, Battlestar Galactica and the Marvel films.

I have reviewed my visit in the new edition of Shoreline of Infinity magazine, which is out today. See the link below for more details!

New cover art

My piece, Into Battle graces the cover of issue 24 of Shoreline of Infinity Magazine – Edinburgh’s finest science fiction publication. I had the pleasure of illustrating an interior piece in their first issue some six years ago, so it’s great to be back!

To get your copy or find out more, visit the Shoreline of Infinity website.

Another cover reveal in the same week – this time a brand new piece for Entangled, the latest instalment of Alice Sabo’s “Transmutation” space opera series.

You can keep up with Alice’s work over on her Facebook page.

Introducing “Soundwave” – the new science fiction podcast

I’m really happy to have been involved in Soundwave, an exciting new science fiction podcast from Edinburgh-based publication, Shoreline of Infinity.

The Shoreline of Infinity magazine has gone from strength to strength, recently winning the British Fantasy Society Award for best magazine/periodical, and the next step in this creative and collaborative journey – which champions new and existing writers, artists and more – is the launch of this podcast.

I have been interviewed for a future edition of Soundwave, but my initial involvement was the production of the intro and background music.

Episode Zero of Shoreline of Infinity’s Soundwave can be heard here.
