Poster art


This poster rocks. I only regret not having a better image. It is a good example of comic book style movie posters. I don't have the artist's name.

Football, I tell ya what!


How about those Houston Texans? They have winning record and hope to continue that tradition. They might even get into the playoffs, in 10 or 12 years!

Zombie Nazis and Ghosts





Bottom - Lovely example of some vintage early 50s horror comics.
Top 3 - Character designs for Ghostbusters cartoon, 1987-88. Artist name on the tip of my tongue...Everett Peck, thanks John. Oh, it's not Peck but Fil Barlow. Sorry guys. Boy am I red.

Have just finished reading volume 3 of Thimble Theatre featuring Popeye the Sailor, some of the most amazing and original comics ever. Extremely well drawn and written by Segar I highly recommend these as a prime example of newspaper comics. Funny and full of genuine pathos these stories will take off into unexpected directions. The animated version did the strip justice which is also rare. There are some really creepy scenes with the Sea-Hag and the fight with Bluto is nuts!

Ralph Bakshi


Ralph's drawing style is very appealing. You can see the era from whence comes his influence. (Is that good grammar?)

Book signing


Saturday November 14 we's having a little shindig over to the art gallery across the street. Free booze and hot babes. I will be signing sketchbooks and posters, (and hopefully body parts). Sorry folks - I told you the wrong time - it started at 5 and goes to 10. I am a retard (sometimes).
