The Void

There’s a new Indiegogo campaign from some of the people in Astron 6 (they made Manborg and Father’s Day) for a movie called THE VOID. They want to raise money to make lots of monsters for their film. Check out their page and contribute!

I'm not involved in this campaign, I'm just really interested in it. This is just me doing art inspired by their video.  

Ghostbusters Terror Dogs

Wednesday Addams

I had a couple of suggestions for Wednesday Addams.  I like working in black and white since I don't have to think in colour theory.

Carrie

My take on Carrie.

If anyone has an idea for movie pinups (preferably horror related) let me know!  I'm looking for new suggestions.

The Baron says

From Manborg.

Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman!

I've been slowing making my way through this crazy oddball soap from the 1970s.

To start 2014

A couple of new ink pieces to start 2014. 

A POD for Christmas

Come to Nikki

How can I have Max without Nikki?

Try something more...spidery.

Happy Halloween!

They're coming for you, Barbara...

That's Night of the Living Dead, in case you didn't know.

Happy Halloween month, everybody!  Time to watch horror movies for 31 days.  Like that's any different from any other month.

Gremlins

How about some Gremlins on a Tuesday morning?

I can't believe I haven't done anything for Gremlins yet.  So why not on a hot day in September?  I'm so happy I finally got to use some blur on a foreground element.  I've seen others use it and it looks so amazing but I could never think of something for myself.  Until now!  Yay!

Gremlins is part of our Christmas routine of movies.  Gremlins, Home Alone, Scrooged, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Die Hard, A Christmas Story.  Can you tell I grew up and had my formative years during the 1980s?

I saw Gremlins in the theatre when it came out with a  friend and her family.  I distinctly remember sitting WAY over on the far right of the theatre about three rows away from the screen.  The bit with the gremlin in the blender scared the poop out of me.

NERDS! NERDS! NERDS! in colour

I finally bought Revenge of the Nerds in a DVD combo pack with it's 3 sequels.  They're not all as good as the first, obviously, but each had a few laughs.

I think, think, it's out of my system now.

I'll be selling this as a print this August at the Toronto Fan Expo (table A70).

Nerds just don't chant as much as they did in the 1980s.  We should bring that back.

The Aquabats!

Playing with The Aquabats and some coloured ink.

So close!

I was contacted by one of the writers of The Thrilling Adventure Hour to create a poster for them for the San Diego Comic Con happening this year (this weekend if you're reading this, um, right now) but they decided to go with more general show posters instead of for individual stories.  Oh well!  They might be used later in the year at their Largo shows.

I'm super happy with how Amelia Earhart turned out.

NERDS!

I'm haunted by the movie Revenge of the Nerds.  I've seen it a few times since I was a kid.  It was the first movie I saw in 2011, January 1st to be exact.  Since then I've seen it at least 5 more times, either in full or in parts.  If it's on I'll watch it from any point.  Now the soundtrack keeps popping up on the internet radio station I listen to.  I couldn't even find this song on iTunes (I know right!?) so I had to record it from youtube for myself.



Plus a few other references to it here and there.  And now it's part of the TOGA festival at the TIFF.  I think it's becoming one of my favourite movies and I just can't put my finger on WHY.  Also, there's a lot more nudity in it than I ever remembered since I always watched it on regular tv, so there's that.

Professor Carstairs, I presume?

I've found a new podcast I've become slightly obsessed with called Illusionoid.  It's Canadian (like me, eh) and it's improvised sci-fi in an old-timey kind of radio show way.  I had to try my hand at Prof. Brambleberry and Prof. Carstairs from The Lucifer Device episode.

Then I tried Prof. Carstairs on his own.  I seem to have a thing with drawing huge heads and hands.  I can adjust that when I colour things in vectors but no such luck when inking by hand!  Ha!  Big heads.

The Glow Cloud

Looks like the local Glow Cloud wants in on this one's photo.

I think I kind of effed up the glow cloud.  But ink has no Command Z feature to undo the last 50 moves I made so what's done is done.  On to the next!

And note to self: less outline, more ink wash on the next idea, eh?

They brought their moon.

Another Night Vale student.  Looks like he, uh, she?  Um, they brought their home made moon with them.

What am I talking about?  Listen: Welcome to Night Vale
