My own interpretations of some of the early covers in Big Finish’s range of Doctor Who CDs. I did them for practice mainly, not because I thought the original artwork was bad (it wasn’t).
Some more random bits and pieces, done for the hell of it or because I was asked for them.
Various covers for odd Doctor Who stories. Some of them very odd. (Right-click and open each cover in a new tab or window and you’ll find they’re bigger than they appear.)
Wallpapers, offcuts, clean DVD art, Banto Zame. Can never have too much Biggins. Or cleavage.

Hi, Colin, great site, nice to see it all here together….All your pieces make me very jealous of your talent. Too many favourites to choose, so I won’t. You’ll only trump it if I do pick one!
When the ‘Ark’ gets power restored, I will make sure to give it a link to here…

Hi Colin,
Brilliant looking site – your design work always has a unique style. Your BF and other art work is fascinating and superlative. Your talent always shone through in Circus (I will never forget the alphabetti spaghetti!) and is just as beautiful here.Best wishes,
John-
Thanks John (and everyone!). Can’t claim credit for the spaghetti though, that idea came from the peculiar mind of Paul Redfearn. Although I remember the strange looks we attracted photographing the stuff amid some gorse just north of Guildford!!
Colin.

Sure makes a change!Tom

Hi Colin –
Great site. Love the feel of this place! It’s almost on the right side of madness. Look forward to seeing it all develop. (Just really, really glad that we didn’t have a baby that looked like your Hartnell-baby, though.)
Best wishes

Regarding the Big Finish covers… some of them scream “LISTEN TO ME” at me, but I just can’t listen to an audio story without getting distracted. But regardless of that, I can still sit here and look in amazement at your stuff! I’ve googled the original covers just to compare and these are simply stunning and much better than some of the actual ones. My favourites of yours are “The Sirens of Time”, “The Apocalypse Element”, “The Fires of Vulcan”, “Minuet in Hell” and “The One Doctor”.
Similar comments regarding the other Big Finish “oddments”, especially with your amazing “Nightmare Fair” cover!
If I comment on the rest, it’ll just be a paragraph of “awesome”, “brilliant”, “amazing”, “awesome”, etc. So you get the idea!
Great work

BRILLIANT STUFF M8, KEEP THEM COMING

On occasion I do reviews of big finish audios. As a rule I put up a picture of the covers of the episodes that I review.
Would it be acceptable to put up in addition to the actual cover one of yours on some future reviews? I would of course include a link to this page.
-
Hi,
Love the covers! I’ve been replacing the original Big Finish ones on my files with yours; more please! Absolutely wonderful.
-
I just love the covers you made, I think Big Finish should hire you to make their cover from now on. I do hope you plan to make more, but I do have one special request. Could you make a cover for “Spare Parts”, that is one of my favorites.
-
I love the artwork Colin!
As has been mentioned in a thread on the Big Finish forum it’d be nice if there were individual covers for the one-part stories:
Urgent Calls
Urban Myths
The Vanity Box
Mission of the Viyrans
Spider’s Shadow
Keepsake
A Perfect World
& the upcoming Klein’s StoryAnd I’m making a request for these, in the Big Finish style please, I would really appreciated and I know a few of my fellow BF forum goers would too.
Mention has also been made of the one-part stories:
Circular Time: Spring
Circular Time: Summer
Circular Time: Autumn
Circular Time: Winter
100: 100 BC
100: My Own Private Wolfgang
100: Bedtime Story
100: 100 Days of the Doctor
Forty Five: False Gods
Forty Five: Order of Simplicity
Forty Five: Casualties of War
The Company of Friends: Benny’s Story
The Company of Friends: Fitz’s Story
The Company of Friends: Izzy’s Story
& The Company of Friends: Mary’s StoryI’m not fussed about those and to be honest I think they’d just be a whole lot of work on your part for nothing but the above list I do implore you to consider.
Thanks and your portfolio is very impressive.
Brian (not my real name, but it’s nice isn’t it?)

Lovely Work
Just a comment. You and a few others have inspired me to set uo my own artwork blog I have simple programs but hopefully a loved for artwork and Doctor Who will make up for that. Please check it out.
-
Colin, these covers (and associated artwork) are absolutely Gorgeous! and Wonderful! and LotsOfOtherNiceExclamations!
I’ve got the Ian and Dalek image as desktop wallpaper now… thanks!

Stunning work.
I too would love covers to the single episode Big Finish audios listed above for my iPod!

Fantastic Artwork can’t wait to see more
-
These covers for Big Finish stories are amazing! You’ve done really nice work on them. I’ve just replaced the original ones on my ipod with yours!
Could you do Zagreus? If its not too much to ask of course. -
I also think your DW covers are superb. I have a request though: could you do one for “Freakshow”, the recent free BF download? After your “One Small Step” cover, I have high hopes…
Cheers
-
great covers i have also replaced the ones on my ipod with yours and would request a zagreus one as well
-
Hey, Simply fantastic work! Have you considered maybe doing covers for Big Finish releases that were never given proper ones. I’m thinking the Fifth Doctor adventure ‘Cuddlesome’ and the Companion Chronicle ‘Freakshow’. Just a suggestion, you’ve done so much for us already!
-
Don’t know what to say really apart from quite, quite stunning.
-
I was looking for a Minuet in Hell cover via google and yours was the second results. “Oh” I thought, ” they must have updated that old boring/creepy cover with a more exciting one.
Really great work on all of these. Some are indeed improvements over the original. You’re stretching your source material pretty well (something Big Finish cover creators, and classic Who DVD cover makers for that matter, likely have to deal with constantly).
-
Love the work! I’d definitely like to see more individual episode covers as well…proudly have The World Lord looking back at me on my iPod!
-
OMG I love these please do more espicially the Sylvestor MacCoy!!! Love these so much better than the originals
