The drawings will be exhibited at Orbital Comics for the first two weeks of December. The whole thing run in conjunction with an online eBay auction for selected pieces.

Danny has illustrated... well whatddya smegging think, it's a cat. Robert, meanwhile, has gone for a lonely little Starbug. Robert's postcard picture is being sold with a signed print of Kryten in his Series VIII 'gold' outfit. Bling!
