******************************************************************************* Life imitating Art? We spent some time imbibing in the early hours at the Magna Carta this weekend, while reminiscing over Bloodrunners and looking at an awesome nitrous Katana called Hoover - yup only thing missing was the HCS. You where the godfather of streetfighters ! Keep on inkin', Scouse ****************************************************************************** Hi Andy, Loved 'Dopplegangers'. I'm still proud to say I was in the Bloodrunners Video all those yrs ago. My Jack Shit Pin Badge is still on my leathers too. Keep up the good work ****************************************************************************** Hi Andy, Brilliant site - brings back some great memories. The first bike mag I ever bought was the first issue of bike that had Bloodrunners in. It's still as entertaining as ever and maybe even more relevant as society rapidly turns to shit. Keep up the good work, Mick ****************************************************************************** Wow. Just finished reading "I.N.K". Amazing stuff, freaky and brilliant. Zed ****************************************************************************** Hi Andy Am glad you emailed me back - I found your website on a link on a link somewhere n after id read that novel I was blown away, wanted to read the others but had forgotten what your website address was called - was gutted! Now I'll be able 2 find it again :) Do you have a myspace site? Catch u later. Jay x THANKS! NO NEED FOR MYSPACE. I GUESS IT'S FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE THEIR OWN WEBSITE ISN'T IT? I LOVE TO BROWSE IT FOR NEW MUSIC THO' ******************************************************************************* Dear Andy, many many thanks, the t shirts are amazing, Mr Bird was so very pleased, took him right back..............ah bless! He's even talking about getting his bike out again, but says i have somehow shrunk his leathers........?! Again many thanks, if you ever down the Dales, give us a shout! Ta muchly. Penny **************************************************************************** Hi Andy, Thought you might like this, this guy can draw in mspaint like a master. Rgds Mike ******************************************************************************* Doppelgangers: Well done! I assume the classic "By His Bootstraps" (Heinlein) was one of your inspirations. I'm pleased that you took the time-travel principle and made such good use of it. The most impressive part is how well you filled out the story with very few words - you developed character(s) and background without particularly noticeable sections of exposition. Excellent short-story writing style! You also brought in the ideal twist of perception at the end. As someone who has read countless science-fiction short stories, I tell you that "Doppelgangers" has all the ingredients of greatness. And more... In addition to being a genuinely good SF story, it's a well-illustrated "graphic novel" (couldn't think of a more accurate term, sorry). Using slightly different styles/colours of the same scene is a great idea, and the drawing quality is superb. (I'm really curious to see whether FOUR's perspective will be even fuzzier or something else entirely.) By the way, I like the change of tense you use in the first paragraph and subsequent getting-out-of-the-chair sequences. Also, I found it interesting that you specified "black blood" when ONE saw FOUR bleeding in the back of the car - I've seen black blood used many times on film, but never seen it described in print before. Oh, and the use of colours in the illustrations plus quoted text plus headings to help the reader keep track of the phases is most clever. Well, I could go on but don't want to waste your time. Fantastic! Kathleen ******************************************************************************** Andy, BTW didn't you do art for a Boy George video? Why no link on the site? Cheers Adrian I did! The song was called 'War is stupid' or something. It had a lot of skeletons in it, which I made. Not the first vid I worked on by any means though. That would be 'Man Eater' by Hall & Oats, which I conceptualized & storyboarded with/for Russell Mulcahy ******************************************************************************** Hi there Bought a copy of the Bloodrunners film off Ebay, it arrived today, what a masterpeice, still cool now, Although I wasnt sure wether to be flattered or insulted when my Dad said the black biker looked like me on my GSX1100. Bit young to remember bloodrunners the first time round but trying my best to catch up now and in desperate need of some of your T shirts as soon as I find some. Cheers, Brad ****************************************************************************** Hi Andy, Just to give my bit of feedback after finding your site on the web. Huge fan when the original strips were published, bought the T-shirts, have the video, the trash mag etc etc. I was a London-based despatch rider in the eighties, and felt that you really captured the lifestyle...the constant sex, drugs and glamour ;). But without the dirt, crashes, fatalities - you know, the shitty stuff. ;( But hey, loved the art and just the other night I had this thought; there must be some Andy Sparrow stuff on the web by now, why not Google it? And there I sat, suddenly transported in time back to London in the eighties, astride any of my many varied rat-legal workhorse machines (can you cross a rat with a workhorse, and what would be the result?!) freezing my nuts off, chain smoking fags, covered in a fine black film of grime, waiting to get home to the missus, a hot bath and a spliff and a good night's sleep. Ah, nostalgia. Great to see your art on the web - *really* made my day to see your new stuff as well. Glad life seems to have treated you well as you deserve. Raising a glass to you! Cheers. Grant Stewart. Roundelbrons. *********************************************************************************** just typed in Bloodrunners to see if you were still around, and was totally stoked to find you alive and kicking, you and mad max were my idols in the 80's got the T's the mags and the vid my fav t was bastard patrol and have still got scratch addict print on my garage wall with my black Gixer 11 keep up the good work ,Jonny the boy.(not anymore) P.S. JACK SHIT RULES ******************************************************************************* Bloodrunners was part of my childhood. i was sent home from school for wearing a "who is jack shit" tee shirt, and it must have affected me somehow, cos ive got a bloody shed full of matt black and silver 1100 katanas! John Regan Glad I could be of service! Andy ****************************************************************************** Hi andy, been into bloodrunners since watchin that video all them glorious years ago . also met yourself in the bike show 1 year when you looked a little worse for wear, i was browsing through your site and wondered if i could use one of your bike doodles for a tattoo. its like tribal but with bikes, let us know what you think? cheers, steve! Sure! As long as you send me a photo to put in the Hall of Fame. Andy ******************************************************************************* Hi dude, I saw your drawings of bikes and was totally awed by your skill. I would like to know is it possible to make a living out of doing this kind of work or at least something similar to it. Thanks Vahid I have but I wouldn't recommend my route thru life. Andy ******************************************************************************* Hi Andy.. My Harris was the bike used in the Demo movie (as jack shits bike). its now in sydney australia...how can i get a copy of the demo film that you showed at the birmingham NEC bike show that year..cheers mate....Phil (oggy) I'll email you soon. Andy ******************************************************************************** Andy, been having a debate with some friends over best films with bikes (or bike bits) in them, and some of them have never seen Bloodrunners!!! Any chance you've got a copy of the vid lying around that I could have? Cheers, Mal I do have a few left under the bed, with no labels or anything, and we now do it on DVD. Andy ******************************************************************************* BOLLOCKS ******************************************************************************* Andy, I was blown away to find this site... takes me right back to the mid 80s, I remember buying a 'one wheel's enough t-shirt'. You practically invented the streetfighter look and have done more for subsequent motorcycle styling than almost anyone else... thanks!!!! Slob ******************************************************************************** Let me just start by saying that your art work was a huge influence on my youth. I used to dream that one day I would be Jack Shit on that awesome beast of a bike. I just like to know where I can get some of the stickers and post cards you used to be able to get all those years ago. I am now a Royal Marine and have been for 15 years and the last time I saw any of your art work was before that. I also dreamt once that I could get a Simpson crash helmet and get it sprayed like Jacks. If you have any info on any of this please email me and would be forever grateful. Many thanks from a long term admirer. Jon Porter I would recommend John Bitmead at creations-bike@supanet.com ******************************************************************************** Like most people who visit this site, probably, I first saw your cartoons in Bike magazine back in the 80's. I got the t-shirts, cut out the comic strips, even had the video...which was nicked. Met you in Earls Court once, at the bike show, and then the strip vanished. Bloody Ogri came back. Just not the same. Cancelled my subscription...and for years I mourned the loss of probably the best drawn cartoon strip I had ever seen. Today...I surfed, and blow me...(Suzi)...here you are. Andy Sparrow...keep up the good work. I will be visiting your site on a regular basis. I love the drawings, sketches, doodles, stories. Just have one question though...just who is Jack Shit? John Bonny Not telling ******************************************************************************* Andy, Like yourself I'm a huge fan of the Bimota Tesi, Centrifugal steering makes absolute sense (and looks the bollocks too). Now you've probably seen the bikes that lazareth produce - often seen in streetfighters - including his 'rendition' of the Suzuki B-King (which suzuki have yet to wake up and produce). If, for whatever reason, you haven't seen the website, heres the link - www.lazareth.fr check 'em out... Fuggin' awesome. Take Care, Dave (GSXR 750 Slabby & Monster 900) ******************************************************************************* Found ya.... After having bought every copy of Bilk mag with Bloodrunners in it over the years only to have `em nicked or lost in various abodes/squats can`t beleive your on-line! Finally got my broadband sorted out so I can read the stories properly! Still reminds me of my hooligan days bak then on FZRs and LC`s , and to all the t-shirts bought and then blagged by `ex`s ! Ink ...fantastic Dopplegangers ....more so... Good selection of links as well keep it up... phil ******************************************************************************** Hello mate, how you doing? Thought you'd like this pic from todays madness!! We are going to build one of these, have some races!!! It's like something straight from your artwork!! http://www.pete.vnworks.net/rats/uni4.jpg http://www.pete.vnworks.net/rats/uni2.jpg Urban Terrorist ******************************************************************************* Thought this might interest you. Some of the pictures are low quality but there are some real gems. http://www.motor-forum.nl/forum/topic.php/66719/1 Steve gayton  ******************************************************************************* subject: I.N.K. Shiiiit.... that was the most awsome strip i've ever stumbled accross and read... it actually kept my fullest attention, because i normally get annoyed with this sort of things. AMAZiNG artwork, very realistic... GREAT dialogue and story plot all i can really say is .... dAMN. deja ******************************************************************************* BOLLOCKS ******************************************************************************* Hi Andy, good to see you're still about. Watching a film last night where some kids snorted Helium for the sound affects and someone asked if I'd ever tried Nitrous for the giggles. Sudden memories of a big shed somewhere in Kent and a few of us trying to get that actor type to laugh manically by all snorting nitrous. Didn't work for a while then we all fell about. Set off to film a few final scenes and kept nearly falling off the bike as bubbles of giggles erupted through my head.... Remember?? Then of course I had to get the video out and make the wife yawn yet again with my 1.2 secs of 'fame' So did you ever get that Moto Martin CBX you lusted after? Any plans to do another film? (If so I'm buying another bike special like) Spent 18 months living around Amsterdam/Haarlem myself a while back - would recommend it to all. Keep scribbling - great to see it all again. Off into the loft now to dig out all my Bloodrunners bits and probably run the vid again....Neil ******************************************************************************* Hi there, I've been reading Bloodrunners since about 1982 when I first spotted it in "Bike" magazine. I stopped buying it the day your cartoon strip was axed. I thought it was the dogs bollocks and have been mourning it's demise ever since. Not any longer, I was browsing the web looking for some bike sites when I came across a web-site on Fireblades called urbantiger. Steve, who no-longer has time to work on the site kindly sent me some details of your site and the HTML for the link to your site. I have put it on my site (only just got it going - don't know how popular it will be) Anyway - I will now be able to read your Bloodrunner strip again. Long Live Jack Shit!!! - Oh, and that sexy chick - how can a drawing ooze so much sex appeal! Regards, Dave Ambler http://www.motorcycle-pics.co.uk ******************************************************************************  Andy.
Found this picture and thought of you. love your ideas, keep up the rather excellent work. "itz da shit!!" (in my best american accent). I'm obviously not the only one to be inspired by your crazy concepts... captn. [Dan Dermann] ************************************************* Hi, gonna test ur powers of recollection now! You did a pic of Jack on the Kat outside the NEC or similar, cant remember if it was an ad, in the show guide or a Bike special, anyways if you know the one I mean any chance of making it available as wallpaper? Cheers Wolfman YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND OH WOLFMAN ******************************************************************************* SUBJECT: Kharra's art/Hoover as reality. Hey there, really enjoying the site, glad it's gratis as for Kharra not being sure if the whole bike would work... it will! all the technology's already here, just a matter of amalgamating them into the same bike... turbo'd hayabusa engine, HCs from a Bimota Tesi, little framework, cusotm wheels nowhere near impossible in other words... I've been sketching/scheming ever since I first saw Hoover (like two weeks ago) money providing, it'd take me a couple months tops to get one built... any sponsors? : ) if I end up building Hoover (which I might well do just for kicks) i'll make sure to let you know until then. cheers. Ian ******************************************************************************* SUBJECT: 'INK' TIGHT AS FUCK!!!! Yo, this story wuz tight as fuck! that whole assassin twist wuz somethin' i wuzn't expectin'. u should write more stories (if u haven't). if u have written morw, let me know if they're online. oh yeah, "Ink" might make a great movie! SONGMASTER ****************************************************************************** SUBJECT: Doppelgangers As usual I love the artwork Andy! Looking good, not to mention the Dodge V8 :) - 4 cylinder engines are meant for bikes, cars need more than 4 in a Vee :) Dunno what the chuff the comic is about apart from a sinister back to the future crossed with the matrix - look forward to the upcoming episodes! Cheers, Mark. ******************************************************************************* Do you know we were ripping the arse ends of bikes and mounting twin spots on gutter brackets 15 years ago. We now reside mainly in a home for the mentally unstable. I however still enjoy motorcycling if only through the window. My licence is up for review in 2094 looking forward to it. Will see you soon on my fluid drive G S X R R R R R R 1850 . you wait and see . chilli ******************************************************************************* Re: PLANTS: From reading your theory on Darwin I have come to one strong and solid conclusion! your right! it is the plants fault but its also yours because your smoking entirely too much of it and quit trying to be an intellectual and get a job. he- he- he, so there, put that in your pipe and smoke it. Kev ******************************************************************************** Wow glad to see it's all still going. Looking at the way you draw women reminds me of the way the photographer Bob Carlos Clark shoots(!) them, figure hugging outfits, etc. Maybe a collaboration there? An elaborated story board of a shoot in the day of... Just a crap thought. He has two web sites I think: www.bobcarlosclarke.com and shootingsex.com. God I should be an agent! Well, thanks for Bloodrunners, after 18 odd years I still can't stop reading Trash mag, and now your online. From a biker first and a struggling photographer second keep it going. John St. John. ********************************************************************************** Doppelgangers has got real promise, like the mood, like the characters and want to see more. The format is like a storyboard isn't it? Very movie...and I am not sure I like it as much as your regular style...the seperate words and pictures disjoint the atmosphere a bit...early days though! The bus ride was superb...anticipation spot on as each click brings the next part...and the colour looked real good. I have said it before, and I'll say it again...you've got it man. Checking out your stuff always fills me with optimism...so thankyou. I don't know if you remember my sleepy ramblings about atoms a awhile ago..? Well another way that I see the world is by the light that people give off...some people don't give off any (and thats fine), you can't see the light that you emanate yourself (you have to be told), most common is white, yours is not white (which doesn't mean your dark by the way)...I have only seen it in a few and then only in person...so to get it from words and pictures is rare. Things are better with people like you around. JASON. ********************************************************************************* A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2" in diameter. He then asked the students if the jar was full? They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous - yes. The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and proceeded to pour the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. "Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things - your family, your partner, your health, your children --things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. "The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else - the small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued "there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix your bike. "Take care of the rocks first -- the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand." One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers." Thanks to Alan Craft for that ************************************************************************************** Just finished going through the site mate, crackin' stuff, good to see you're still on form. Still got and still read the trash mags from a better time that seems so long ago now, it always takes me back to GSX's (before the R's), GPz's and FJ's, long summer nights on the road, and long sessions featuring booze and birds. Still got some shirts, in fact wore my "If you love somebody.....hunt them down and kill them" shirt to a night out recently and got quite a reaction, mainly where can I get one?? now I can tell them....it's great you're still around and better than ever, keep it up. I know nostalgia ain't what it used to be but, through the rose tinted shades of reminiscence, it truly was a better time......Stiff (ex powerbase member) ***************************************************************************** It is so great to see that you are still knocking out phenomenal art work, I have always loved blood runners and was always curious how the last story line was gonna turn out. I have just found this site and spent at least an hour reading "INK", your skills haven't faded in the least, have you any plans for a sequel? I still look back with fond memories of meeting you at the NEC one year, and I still have my bloodrunners book you signed for me. I hope the eye strain is better and that you can continue entertaining the masses. If ever you are in Manchester You'll always be welcome to have a smoke with me ;) All the best and good luck for the future. Ed ******************************************************************************* It's amazing what a divorce will make you find in the loft... old bank statements, half completed models kits and a membership form for the Jack Shit Supporters Club. Back then I spent my days causing havoc on an old 350YPVS, propping up a local bar wearing a "Burnout Bandit" t-shirt. Today I have mellowed to a middle aged family man with an old VF400 that is in serious need of attention (and hasn't been ridden for over three years) but it's good to see that Bloodrunners are still around. Eric Price ******************************************************************************* To be honest Andy I didn't know you were so good, I mean, I know you're a good artist, but the storyline was fab!...I just really logged on to the website to have a quick browse, and didn't move from my desk till I finished the whole story! I'm going out tonight with some of my new friends & my Spanish babysitter's "homework" ('cause she's desperate to learn more English) is to read to read "INK" lots of Luvs, Tere ********************************************************************************* Dude,...this stuff sends me back to the days when I was on a ER50 Suzuki dreaming of bigger bikes, and yes I DID have an 'I'm immortal' T-shirt. Love your stuff, still cool and funky, not as 'old' as Ogri (never really GOT that!!??) and not too grungy, if u know what I mean...u know Harley Davidsons, grease and fat birds! !-) Sorry to ramble,...but your stuff is still way ahead of the rest. Now I'm all grown up and racing bikes , so I must have done something right eh?! Best of luck in all you do, thanks for the hours of reading sideways and upside down ( the best bit was looking for the stuff in the background!) laters,Crev now,...where did I put that T-shirt.... ******************************************************************************* NAME: Ricky trust me! You are a very very talented guy!!! ******************************************************************************* NAME: IAN PEALLING SUBJECT: The Bus Ride Just came back to checkout the site, after an email reminder the other week. Great to just look around again. I didn't think your work needed colour, but on seeing the first page of the Bus Ride, Fantastic! I have saved it as wall paper. Great for me and my children,15 months ,3years. If it does, I mean when it gets published love to buy one. Maybe two. I love the way you also get the very sexy girls into the story in a passerby un sexy way. If that makes sense, or may its just sexy artwork. Great stuff, got to go to work now. Bye, Keep it going. Ian ******************************************************************************* NAME: Jake Lazarus SUBJECT: Good to see it again! You made me laugh a lot pal! Good to see Jack Shit again, I still have one of the t-shirts! (Bit worn now) ******************************************************************************* Cool work, keep it up. Art is free? DAMN STRAIGHT! Alex Clarke ******************************************************************************* Hi Andy, still doing great art, haven't seen you at the bike shows for a few years which is a downer as new Bloodrunners stuff to buy was always the highlight of going to the show. I shall check out the site a lot more now that I've joined the computer generation. I'd like to take you up on your offer of buying an original piece of art at some point as well when I can finally decide on which one to choose. keep drawing, all the best, Furry. ******************************************************************************* Hello Andy, I've been a fan of Bloodrunners for many years now, great to see them all back and available again. Would you like to display some of your artwork on www.londonfetishscene.com? We are a free website that caters to the fetish scene in London (and elsewhere). Come and have a look at the site, if you like it then drop me a line and we'll sort out a page or three for whatever you want to contribute. Robin Do you do commissions for flyers? I DO COMMISSIONS, THAT'S HOW I PAY THE RENT, BUT I'VE NEVER DONE A FLYER. ******************************************************************************* Hah....fuckin' right.....just who the fuck is jack shit..... and just who gives a fuckin toss anyway!!!! Andy... shit hot cartoons......kept me goin' fer fuggin years now....nice one you warped sumbitch... hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahaha....ahem ahem....hahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha George Whyte ******************************************************************************* Hiya! Awesome Artwork! I've fond memories of vainly attempting to copy the style whilst sat in Art lessons during the late 80's with a Bike mag hidden under the desk.. I'm sure I was supposed to be drawing crappy cans of peas or suchlike, but no chance. Art lessons were a time for bikes and kneedowns, scraping of pencil against paper in the hope the end result would be as good as your artwork. Guess I should've stuck to Cans of peas....LOL Anyways, A question for you: I have been searching everywhere for a suitable Picture to have done on my leg as a 'bike' tattoo.. The whole Harley thing just doesnt grab me...I was sat the other night and POP! it occurred to me that the most. . . what's the word?. . memorable Bike Artwork has been yours. it's always encompassed what I've dreamed of biking to be: fast, furious, power and . . well, I'm sure your own inspiration must have some of the same ideals as mine . . -Ii dunno. Anyways. I am looking at getting a tattoo done, and I would be grateful if you could possibly supply me with something from your vast collection of art? Ideally I'm after a bike similar to (dunno if this helps) image 31.jpg with a rider on it, with their knee down . . kinda an action picture of a futuristic sportsbike,as opposed to a 'still' picture? If you can help then id be most grateful. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Tim aka 'Kwackerz' SEND ME A PHOTO WHEN IT'S SORTED ******************************************************************************* I wasn't going to bother but your heart rending plea for feedback twisted my arm. I remember Bloodrunners from the days of 'bike'. Bought the T-shirts, postcards, trash mags and kept everything of yours that I have got my hands on. I even spent hours reproducing some of it on my folders when I was at school so I know how long it must have taken you to knock out a whole page. What can I say? Those that have said you were years ahead of your time are right, although I can see where the ideas came from i do think that the way you represented them has influenced untold numbers. I have spent years obsessed with Hub centre steering and wide tyres (2 wheel drive is another 'personal' addition although you've done that as well at times) and always the styling comes back to that found in Bloodrunners. If I have a criticisim it would be the story line that at times goes a bit doo-laly but no ones perfect and the art work....well it always makes up for it. I was sorry to read about your eye problems, funnily enough when I started reading 'Bloodrunners' I didn't even smoke and found the drug/violence references a bit much, since then I have experimented more than a little and totally understood where you were coming from. I have also woken up to things as you have. I'm glad you found your way out and I glad it hasn't destroyed your obvious talents and that there will be more art coming. If I ever get rich a commission is a certainty. Good luck, Steve ******************************************************************************* Been thinking a lot lately...and come to the conclusion that frequency is actually the answer to everything. You know the rate that our tiny little atoms vibrate? I couldn't sleep, too much going on, so at 2.30am-ish logged onto www.livejournal.com (perfect for insomniacs everywhere) and searched under the interest of motorbike. Brought up shed loads of journals of people who are into bikes in one way or another. Checked out their profiles...the other stuff their into, and its like mine. Put in a band, nine inch nails, the same thing, same interests. Read some of the journals, and the vast majority are feeling the same shit as me. Take some of those personality web test things like "what kind of vampire are you?" and we come out the same. Its frequency. Soldiers break their march over bridges so that the uniform beat doesn't break the bridge...frequency. Why do human tribes (like bikers) like similar music.......frequency. We are being controlled by our atoms man! Your art has a frequency....always has....that frequency matches mine, and obviously matches many others. I wonder what our collective frequencies could break if we could make them beat at the same time? Could it explain why some like twins, others like fours and someone else prefers a single? Do we pick a partner by picking up vibrations? Do drugs and alcohol alter our vibrations and therefore alter our world? I am not sure.....bollocks or logical!? Jason B ************************************************************************************ I can't believe that I stumbled upon your site, after meeting you at the NEC way back in 1988'ish. You were saying to passers by (in a REALLY weird tone) "Buy a tee shirt, get a free porn mag!"....so I bought one (well I was only 17. The mag is without doubt one of the best freebie's I've ever had. A couple of years later I took the mag into work and got it nicked (If it was you, Danny Nickson, yer a thieving bastard). Nice to see your still alive and kicking, Andy, now I'm going to have a good troll through your site, thank's! Craig 'Hot Cat Splat' Williams. ******************************************************************************* I remember the Bloodrunners strips in Bike all those years ago and writing to Brecon Quaddy to complain when they vanished - glad to see you have survived the nineties! I help run Lamborghini Club UK now, and I have an old (1972) Jarama S, one of only 2 or 3 left in the UK - I remember the Bloodrunners strip with the Countach on Chelsea bridge... can't remember the storyline (will check it out soon tho'!) and how well drawn everything was / still is! ahhh! riding to Chelsea Bridge and then to Heston Services on a Friday evening and back home for 6.00 am on Saturday morning!... Summer fun in 88 and 89 with mad boys pulling huge wheelies on plastic maggots at Heston and daft lads on 125's pushing stoppies at the bridge... and always really bad cups of tea and coffee.... joy days when I was a lot younger! Thanks for all the memories at your website and good luck and get in touch by all means! regards David Price ******************************************************************************* Haven't looked at the site for ages and wow !! what a load of top stuff you have on here now. Will someone please take you to Hollywood or better still Japan and make a full legth CGI Bloodrunners film. The technology is there to give these things life . How much fun would it be to see a forty foot Jack kick the crap out of some bike thief or other such scoundrel. I would really love a bloodrunnerised original of me on my VTR, but I guess that kinda goes against the art is free mantra ? Take care and keep up the good work Pete Holyoake ******************************************************************************* Just like to say yours is some of the most inspired and best artwork I've seen in a very long time. Fucking brilliant! Don't stop---Ken ******************************************************************************* I dig your work. You have a very unique style. Your philosophy of doing art for pleasure and not because you have to is one I can relate to. I find it draining when it is required. The Bloodrunners strip is awesome. Reminds me of the old CarToons magazine that, unfortunately, died in the mid 80's. In case you're not familiar with it, It was a US publication geared towards American Hot Rods. Fun stuff. Anyway. Keep it up and Good Luck. Shaun Kelly *******************************************************************************  I
only bought bike for your strip and got the original trash mag,
t-shirts etc. In fact I still thumb through the trash mag if I want
to reminisce on simpler times. Great to see you back and doing more
of the same. I am sure it won't have gone unnoticed how ahead of the
times you were with your bike design. Check out the Suzuki B-King
SEE
BELOW or even the design for the new Kwak
GP bike. Have you considered coming from a supermoto angle?

I remember you did some trial style bikes in the past? Anyway, great
to see you back (if indeed you ever went away)!!!
Jason Barwick ******************************************************************************* NAME: Dan Kelly Dunno what it's all about but love your style Andy, bikes and babes ain't normally my fave combination but this is wicked. Good luck DK East London UK ******************************************************************************* hi Andy would you object to me using a piece of your art work in the form a a tattoo on my back? I like your picture listed as bigbike2 my favorite bike is Suzuki Katana 1100 strange request I know, but that's people 4 ye. Thanks, Daryll IT WOULD BE AN HONOUR! JUST REMEMBER TO SEND ME A PHOTO FOR THE HALL OF FAME, ANDY ******************************************************************************** Hi, just wanted to say I've loved the artwork for years - an old boyfriend of mine used to get Bike and that was the only thing I read it for. I did a search on the internet and was really pleased to find the site - love the new stuff. Really love the figures and the girls ( is that weird for a chick to say that? lol! ) Inspires me to keep practicing, keep up the good work! Cheers. Helen. ******************************************************************************* NAME: Paul FEEDBACK: Can't believe I found your site!!!! Was such a big fan in the Bike days. Your futurisitic looks and surreal humour were always sharp. Would love to see a Bloodrunners strip agiain. I have to agree too, your bike designs were more than prophetic. Keep up the good work mate!!! ******************************************************************************* NAME: Toni SUBJECT: Your Theory On Plants FEEDBACK: Not only do I think it is a very logical theory, but I also have to say that this statement is being made by a female who is completely straight and hasn't smoked ANYTHING for ages. However, in order to come up with the theory in the first place, I think it likely that you must be someone who smokes regularly and on a fairly heavy basis. Only in that state of mentally relaxed stimulation could you possibly have had the headspace to have dreamt up this marvellous notion. More power to your stimulant!!! And cheers for the entertainment.. Lots of luck and smiles, Toni You obviously haven't found one of my other 'missives' then? ******************************************************************************* NAME: Tim Wilks FEEDBACK: Blimey, has it really been that long ? I'm so crap at keeping in touch... Still a big fan, still got all my magazine cutouts, stickers, T-shirts and especially all the original doodles you did for me. Particularly proud of the one you drew and your daughter coloured in with a silver pen. Still biking : GSX-R11, Kawasaki triple and on the lookout for a Supermoto. I'd swap 'em all for Hoover though... me too! ******************************************************************************* NAME: Gail Piche SUBJECT: Bloodrunners Mag FEEDBACK: Hi Andy- When I was working in a bike shop back in the 80's, before nursing school and a "real" job, BIKE magazine was the only way I could actually find something that meant anything about bikes (this being the USA, of course). The mag was good, but the best part was Bloodrunners. Jack was cool, and Lom was okay, for a guy, but Suzi was the girl I wanted to be. BIKE changed, and safe ol' Ogri came back, I dropped my subscription, my life changed, and the garage emptied. Last week at work, daydreaming while my bank decided whether or not I should have a bike again, I idly typed "Bloodrunners" into a search engine and there you were. Today I picked up my new Ducati Monster 620Dark, and I NEED TO KNOW if I can get that Bloodrunners mag delivered here in the USA.. So, can I, can I? Thanks,-Gail yes Gail, you can! ******************************************************************************* NAME: Mike SUBJECT: Ink FEEDBACK: WAAHHHH!!!!!! Please, please, please tell me Hannah survives! Love the ending tho, any chance of a follow up? Do you still have Jack's old helmet? I remember drooling over it at the NEC years ago......always thought it should've been street legal tho! Keep following the wobbly path - it will always get you there.... ******************************************************************************* Name: Myk Edwards The lineage is finally revealed. Many people are at a loss for a response when someone says, "You don't know Jack Shit." Now you can intellectually handle the situation. Jack is the only son of Awe Shit and O. Shit. Awe Shit, the fertilizer magnate, married O. Shit, the owner of Needeep N. Shit, Inc. They had one son, Jack. In turn, Jack Shit married Noe Shit and the deeply religious couple produced 6 children: Holie Shit, Fulla Shit, Giva Shit, Bull Shit and the twins, Deep Shit and Dip Shit. Against her parent's objections, Deep Shit married Dumb Shit, a high school drop out. However, after being married 15 years, Jack and Noe Shit divorced. Noe Shit later remarried Ted Sherlock and because her kids from her first marriage were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was then known as Noe Shit-Sherlock. Meanwhile, Dip Shit married Loda Shit and they produced a son of nervous disposition, Chicken Shit. Two other of the six children, Fulla Shit and Giva Shit, were inseparable throughout childhood and subsequently married the Happens brothers in a dual ceremony. The wedding announcement in the newspaper announced the Shit-Happens wedding. The Shit-Happens children were Dawg, Byrd, Hoarse. Bull Shit, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He recently returned from Italy with his new Italian bride, Pisa Shit. So, now when someone says, "You don't know Jack Shit," you can correct them. *******************************************************************************
