Yo Joe!!!

I had number #15 The Devil Fish. Lost all the missile’s and all the stickers rubbed off after a while but still. Worth following this link just for the cool 80’s toy box painting.

These Killings Are Obviously Ironic.

Something a little different tonight.

I’ve posted thumbnails and roughs before but I don’t think (or can be bothered to check) if I’ve ever posted layout images before. When you’ve spent ages drawing a background or need to get something in just the right place without messing up what you’ve already drawn, sometimes the best thing to do is get your layout pad out of get it down in rough on that and then light box it on to the page. A lot cleaner and you don’t have to risk your drawing or rub the wrong bit out.

The above Uzi loving lady is from a forthcoming images. I just liked this rough figure layout and thought it looked pretty cool on its own. Will post thumbnails and final image soon, so you can see what she’s firing at.

Those Bloody Aches And Pains.

Come down with the flu like everybody else seems to be lately. I say flu; I’m not really sure what it is. More just a load of sinus pains, headaches, tiredness and general aches and pains. Not really moving very far from my bed these last couple of days. still managed to get drugged up enough on Beechams to keep the aches at bay long enough to get some artwork done last night. Will try and do like wise again tonight.

I know it nearly Christmas because I’m getting daily (some times more) emails from Amazon and Play trying to get me to buy stuff for Xmas. Every time I open my emails they’re a new one from them. And the sad thing is I know it won’t end until after the January sales next year. It been going on now for a few years so it almost like a Xmas tradition.

I think in my last post I said I was going for a Sergio Leone feel with this page and this is probably the most western shot. Man riding over a hill. Ok the landscape had to look a little alien but I think it still firmly in Western territory. If comics had a soundtracks there’d be a electro Ennio Morricone jingle going on over this scene.

Take Aim.

Back to the sequential side of things today with a panel from a page I’ve just finished. It a kind of Sci-Fi, Sergio Leone style I was going for with this short story. I’m not sure yet if I’m going to expend on this story or keep it a kind of a single page sample. It all a bit up in the air at the moment to be honest. I’ll be posting other panels soon.

I think my main aim for the rest of the year is to try and update my website before 2009 as it been in need of updating for a while. Maybe try and get another image or two done and then just total redo the site with new work. Maybe concentrating more on the artwork I’ve been doing over the last few months. That my plan for what’s left of 2008 anyway.

Both Depressing And Hilarious.

Does a court really need to be involved if you want to have an imaginary Bride? If you get divorce do you have to just burn half your stuff?

Robot Wars.

Sometimes you’re think of an idea you just can’t shake out of your head until you get it down on the page. Had this idea of a couple of old school Cybermen beating up a Strom Trooper a couple of months ago and have been trying to find time to draw it ever since. I thought some people might find it funny.

I think it would make a nice T-shirt design or something but if I ever did get some printed up it would probably end up with George Lucas chasing me down the street with a Lightsaber and a pose of lawyers. I might print one up for myself at some point.

{Note} Notice how through this whole post I dodged the old Cybermen vs new Cybermen debate. I just went with the classic design, as it was how Cybermen looked when I was a kid watching Dr Who. Do they look better now a days? Hmmm it a tough one.

More Movie Posters.

Some more movie posters of the cult\B movie\Grind house\ Exploitation kind. I’ve posted some previously this year that can be found HERE and HERE. And here some more. As with most movies of these kind I bet the films usually aren’t half as good as they’re posters themselves.

Here a pretty cool poster for the Russ Meyer film Mud honey. Looks a bit modern and funky to me for some reason.
