Months
| Artwork | Month | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | The Fourth Doctor | ?Questiontime? The Doctor, portrayed by Tom Baker, wonders quite where he has materialised and what the significance is of the great stone questionmarks. | |
| February | The Yeti | Originally painted for 'The Abominable Snowmen' Target book cover, it remains a favourite of mine since I completed it in 1982. This particular Yeti is in reality a monstrous robot under the control of the Great Intelligence. | |
| March | The Second Doctor | Patrick Troughton as the Doctor. I painted this as one of the portraits of the Doctor in his six differing regenerations for 'The TARDIS Inside Out', a book published in 1985 written by John Nathan-Turner, the long-running and current producer of Doctor Who. | |
| April | Attack of the Cybermen | Based around the 1985 story, Cybercontrol and the timeship meet with total destruction on the Cybermen's planet of Telos. In the forefront are two armed Cybermen. | |
| May | Enlightenment | A haunting and memorable story, not least for the wonderfully bizarre spectacle of a space race of sailing ships competing for an unusual prize - 'Enlightenment'. Originally commissioned for the bookcover of the same name. | |
| June | The Sixth Doctor | Originally commissioned as the cover for Target's 'The Twin Dilemma (novelisation)The Twin Dilemma' to introduce Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor but for contractual reasons never appeared. I subsequently completed a second painting without the Doctor which can be seen as the current cover. | |
| July | The Third Doctor | Jon Pertwee as the Doctor was closely associated with the Earth based UNIT (United Nations Intelligence Taskforce) which was set up to combat extra-terrestrial threats following the Yeti invasion of London. | |
| August | Sil | Originally seen in 'Vengeance on Varos' as the agent of the Galatron Mining Corporation, he comes from the planet Thoros Beta and is First Assistant to Lord Kiv. Sil is a repulsive creature who revels in the suffering and exploitation of others. | |
