I would imagine that will slip then. SI aren't very good at keeping release dates

Thanks for the great compliments guys!

HI All, just to keep you informed on this secret release, the Strictly Ink 2006 Yearbox will be released invite only in August and is limited to a hand made 1/250 units. A few clues, the box looks like a 17" Apple Macbook with Red Foiling and will be full of cool stuff. Full detailed updates here as soon as the final proofs are with me. This is not a new Dr Who release. Regards Barrie - Strictly Ink.

With New York delayed until Sept what about Miami?

Just pre-ordered my Miami Series 2 box. Fingers crossed the release date stays the same.

Here are some of my cards that aren't shown on the Strictly Ink site. These were some of the cards done for the redemptions:


And these are some of the cards done for the upcoming 2006 Strictly Ink yearbox:

Great stuff Nik.

The Tom Baker with half in shadow is AWESOME.

Thanks for sharing, just gutted I didn't get a sketch or redemption in my box.

There was a competition on the base of the dr who trilogy boxes to win some Nik stuff, did anybody hear the result?

Nik, I just adore your Dr Who cards!

Nik,
Those are simply brilliant. Great use of color. Are those with those markers we had discussed earlier???

I'm a big fan of your work, Nik. Those are superb. Thank you for posting them for us to see.

Thanks Justm, sorry you didn't get a card in your box
Steve J, I think Barrie will be posting news of the prize draw soon.
Thanks Jedipencil, I appreciate your comments, especially as I think your cards are amazing.
Hi Don, they're inked with a sable brush and bottle of india ink and coloured with the brushpens I mentioned to you, the Tombow and Faber Castell Pitt pens. I wouldn't call them markers, markers are alcohol based like the Prismacolour and Copic ones, I don't use those.
Thanks Dalekfan! I'm still working on more cards for the 2006 Yearbox, I'll post more samples when they're done.

Wasn't it drawn in April? Does this mean I could still be a winner. My luck in cards in not very good, perhaps its my turn to win.

Some people might say that I have already been lucky since I received a Nik sketch from my 2 boxes.

Didn't look UNDER the box!!

Woe is me, for I am twice gutted.

Do try to keep up

Hi everyone, here's a couple of scans of some my Dr. Who cards for the Strictly Ink Best of collection.

The Ambassadors, 4 panel card.


And some pencil drawings. My apologies for the scan quality. My scanner cuts portions off for some reason.

Very nice Rowena.
