I don't usually post 'fan art' but I drew this recently as an homage to the great Mick McMahon which gives a nod to his magnificent iconic depiction of Judge Dredd along with a reference to Junkyard Demon a strip he drew for Marvel's Doctor Who Weekly which featured a typically idiosyncratic take on Tom Baker's Doctor & a wonderfully baggy Cyberman.
I first encountered his work in 2000AD when I was about 10 years old & initially loathed his work which seemed 'odd' to 10 year old me! Very soon after I gradually 'got' his work & he swiftly became one of my favourite artists. Always willing to experiment & move on, his work is continuously fascinating to me & an incredibly strong influence on me.
I met him when I was 11 years old & he drew me a picture in my autograph book which I treasure. I met him again in 2017 at the 2000AD 40th birthday & he was incredibly gracious.
