Good good, Good bad, Bad bad: An American Werewolf in London

I got a new scanner!  So, folks, you can expect to see a lot more real life art, if you get my meaning. Watched An American Werewolf In London last night and it was straight up Good good. Another campy but seriously made horror movie. I particularly liked how afraid the guy was of becoming a wolf and eating folks.

More of the pixel-rockers. Rockbands need maracas too. I think this guy may run undercover stage security.

Five Deadly Venoms

Pupil #2: The Snake from Chang Cheh’s (much more) story-driven martial arts film Five Deadly Venoms. One hand represents the snake’s head, the other the tail. Trying to keep the warmup game going.

Hard To… Open Stuff

There are things in this world made by nature and made by humans that are not suitable for humans.  This is a look at the things that are hard to open.

Stuff Kids Can’t Open:

1. Jam. Jam is tough.  It confuses the would-be opener with its stickiness and promising aroma.  Adults can typically use logic to get around these distractions.

2. Eggs. Anyone can open eggs, it’s just the usability afterwards that matters.  This is where kids fail with eggs.

3. Gym Membership. No gym that’s worth going to is going to let a kid get a membership, so be sure to ask the gym if they’d let a kid off the street sign up for one before you do.

Stuff Both Adults and Kids Can’t Open:

4. Milk Cartons. Waxy paper paired often with a dire need for its contents makes the carton a hard thing for anyone.

5. Medicine Bottles. No complaining here because this is an important one.  I’d rather everybody die than have kids be able to open my medicine bottles better than me.

6. Green Banana. We know this is the best time to eat one, but the bananas know this too, and won’t give up the chalky goodness easily, for anyone.

Stuff Adults Can’t Open:

7. Kid’s Piggy Bank. Adults can, it is however not advised, especially if it’s a kid you have some responsibility to.  Loose-moraled kids will later break your piggy bank for concert or school supply money.

8. New Technological Device. I’m not saying adults can’t do computers, I’m saying they can’t do computers that were released after the year they got a real job.

9. Hot Dog Buns. They make these things for people with dagger fingers or adults with kid-sized hands.  Kids can’t even keep them clamshelled, but at least they can get their dog in there.

Starting a new project that catalogues the main villain from each X Files episode: X-Villainy. Starting from season three since that’s what I’m on currently, but I’ll eventually get to them all.

Season 3 Episode 1, in which the Well-manicured Man is introduced, member of a secret society of powerfully shady men. Guy definitely has some pull, and his alliances come into question, but remains a pretty bad dude, working with the Smoking Man and all. 

This is part of an ongoing project to catalogue the villains from the television series X Files. Check out the others here!

Bird One: Bufflehead

Kicked off the new bird-poster project in earnest today. I’ve a duck to show for it. Messing around with a few art styles and so far this is the one that is sticking. Not something I’ve really done before but I’m liking the direction. I especially like the slight caricature look of this guy while retaining that aviary nobility… Much more to come. This is 1/30 (I think).

The ae shop is now open! There is a great poster up there for you all to grab - a first edition of 22. It's a man on a tiny planet, breathing deep to calm his stuff down. It's a version of a page from my comic "Friend Mold." 8" x 10" archival ink giclee print on 100% cotton rag. (270 gsm, 15 mil., archival for those interested) For space-likers, sighers, planeteers, and appreciaters of stargazing. Enjoy, thanks!

Another pixel-rocker. Though the project that houses them is a ways off, I'll keep 'em comin'.

Bird 3: Double-crested Cormorant

Chugging along on birds. Here is a bit of beak detail for the big water bird. I’ve made all these birds pretty happy looking - this guy wins for that so far.

Unused Toolbar

Here are some cool-fun icons for a toolbar I designed but never got used. Icons: quarantine, un-flag, edit, link, star, read.
