Beat It.

It hard to do anything in this summer heat. Even walking has become unpleasant with the sun beating down on you. Even writing this blog post is harder then it should be. So I was walking along the street yesterday feeling light headed from being so hot from the blazing sun and trying to get a move on because I’d forgot to put on any suntan lotion before I left the house. Ahead of me I spot three guys. Shirtless and drinking beer, just walking down the road. You might never see any Goths in the summer but for some reason these lager louts, thug type love the hot weather. So I’m walking behind them when I notice one of them is wearing a single white glove. “What the hell is that about?” I thought to myself. Here this sinister looking lager lout type walking around on a boiling hot summers day with a single white glove on. And then it kind of dawn on me. Michael Jackson died last week. Maybe this guy is doing it to show he’s in mourning or something. Now words like ‘touched’ or ‘moved’ may be a bit strong but I found myself feeling a strange kind of respect for this guy. I’m no fan of either Lager Louts or Michael Jackson but when you hang out in a group people don’t like you to express yourself or do your own thing and certainly not if you’re ‘one of the lads.’ Those guys all look the same, dress the same. This guy may have looked a bit of a dick with his single white glove but he was doing his own thing and it made him stand out in this rough looking group. Maybe it was the intense heat but I found myself having for the first time in a long time a grudging respect for this thuggish looking stranger who had the balls to walk around on a hot summers day wearing a single white glove (even if he may well have only been wearing it to be ironic) it was a bold statement for a guy like that to make… but then sadly as I got closer I saw it wasn’t a glove at all. He just simply had his hand tightly bandaged. Probably hurt it from punching to many people in the face.

He’s Behind You.

Been trying to fatten up my portfolio again lately. Above is the latest effort. Had a lot of fun playing around with texture on this one. Hope it shows.

Something, Something, Something Of The Dead.

More Zombie action.

Here a question for you. How many copies of Night Of The Living Dead do you own? Not the 90’s, Savini remake just the original. Without checking I know I have it at least three times on DVD. A good version in a black tin case with extras. I bought a cheap horror movie compilation DVD for a version of Flesh Eater it had on it and that also had a copy of Night Of The Living Dead as well. And then I have the 30th Anniversary edition where they put on a new, awful score and shot some terrible new scenes and cut them into the original. And then I have it at least twice on VHS. The first copy I ever saw which a friend taped for me off satellite TV and then years ago I bought the ‘colorized’ version as well. To be honest it looks like it’s been ‘colorized’ with crayons.

Every time I see a good horror box set now because of the copyright being in the pubic domain they always have a copy in there. It getting harder and harder to dodge getting that sixth copy.

New videos of the life size Gundam in Japan are appearing all over Youtube. Now that how you should celebrate a 30th anniversary.

Better Be Dancing Midgets In It.

Wow this would be a pretty good idea. Plus since it would be on the Internet I could actually watch it inside of just hearing about it.

Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned.

I think this is going to be my last big Robot shot. Like I said previously the amount of time I put into designing and planning these Robots to how many times they actual appear on the page was a little off but I had a good time doing them and researching giant Robots. I think these shots work well considering it was my first stab and here a nice big shot to end on.

Makes you almost feel sorry for the poor tiny Zombies.

Can you imagine what it would be like if they’re really were giant Robots in the world? What would that look like? Probably a bit like this.

Real Life Is A Lot Less Graceful.

Remember that bit in Street Fighter 2 when for a bonus round you’d have to smash up a car? Remember wondering if anybody could do that in real life? To be honest I prefer the car smashing stage from Final Fight. At some point this week I’m going to find a spare hour to play Final Fight again. So glad they’re starting to re-release old arcade games for home consoles. Hopefully one day they’ll re-release The Simpsons arcade game.

Big Foot.

Zombie meets giant robotic foot.

It isn’t going to end well for one of them.

Oh No She Di’int.

Probably the most awkward bit of TV in recent times.

Wish real life was more like TV. Look how quickly instant karma swings round with it bitch slap of justice in this clip.
