ALL KINDS OF HUMBUG!

BACK IN THE SADDLE - COMING STRAIGHT FROM THE SADDLE! I'm experiencing some time shifts again, whooo whooooo, it's a mash-up! FLORA FRIDAY has landed next to MESSED UP MONDAYS (Your turn now Rich) and that is happening on top of a cranky MARVEL thing. <-------- EDIT: It's the Punisher.

Shatly, I didn't get to put some ink to the bigger Marvel Mondays I had planned for this week - I'm quite swamped with work, and that's a good thing, right?

Also, Illustration seems to sometimes take the fun and mindlessness out of drawing, so I'm keeping myself "balanced" with MESS UP'S - MESS UP'S - MESS UP'S!

MANBAT on DC DUESDAY

More crap from the crapshack central... in a quickshot manner.

DC: MANBAT = So awesome! MARVEL: MORBIUS the living Vampire! GIL KANE HAS GOT THE GROOVE! Morbius looks kinda tired or hung over on something. If you think about it, the Comic Vampire/Bat-thing is a pretty great and hilarious (illustrative) concept.

EEV! - KIRBY MONDAYS

EEV from the very fantastic DEVIL DINOSAUR Comics by KIRBY! I happily happened to catch a couple of these at a local convention - SO RAD! I hope to do some full figures from next week onwards... let's see. Lot's in the pipe this week. ENJOY and thanks for checking!

MARVEL MONDAYS - SKETCH SKIT

OK, OK! Some more ruff and touff doodles.

When I think Marvel, I think JACK KIRBY first. What he brought up and that all we enjoy now is built on the foundation of the Artists of that time, artist like him. Really strong and powerfull stuff, kicks you in the butt and makes you think. A real trailblazer who did an infinite number of drawings and PAGES, knocked them out, his mind there 24/7. Loving it till the last drop.

It's fun to do something quick and small, makes the hand wonder where it's sureness went, hahahaa.

Also, some more Gene Colan DRACULA! He kept on doing his thing with TOMB OF DRACULA, issue after issue, on and on, a true burner.

Wolverine to end it, BYE!

SCREAM DRACULA SCREAM! (MARVEL MONDAYs)

GENE COLAN BABY! TOMB OF DRACULA all the way!

MARVEL DUESDAY

UPDATE! Whack rhyme: "Orkfaces frown, when Conan comes around!"







WTF! MARVEL MONAYS IS GONE?? Nah , so what! :) HERE'S CONAN - He used to hang out with Marvel! Skullz are the RULEZ too!

I'm not quite comfortable with how this turned out, but SO WHAT? Next sketch please!

ODIN

This is just a quick sketch OK, so none a you superdrawers get all cookie eyed on me OK? HeHe :)
I'll return next week...

I'd love Marvel characters to talk like this:

THOR SEZ:
"Bedazzzels dung brain! I got yer shit down, you ain't messin' with me!!! Feel the power a ma Thor slammer!"

ODIN SEZ:
"Don't ya fling yer thing like you know what you talk about sucker!! ODINS gonna wash out yer eardrums with a load a crap you ain't never heard of. WHAM!" (imagine big sounds)

...Hell, I can dream right?

HULKIN'

HEYA! So here is HULK! I did this whacky round thing for a convention last month, the other one is just for you.

A little biased Marvel history for the inclined reader:
In the 90's Marvel was serving fans pretty bad (----> see: Bigshot "artists" leaving for the creation of Image Comics). The Comics were mostly dry slap offs of good ones they had done before (----> see: KIRBY, DITKO, ROMITA, BUSCEMA, STARLIN... and on and on) but they had ripped off most of those people that had made them big in the decades gone by. So Marvel was heading for a major bumride back then.
How they made it back to produce original stuff like OMEGA and ULTIMATES and CRIMINAL and got cats like Matt Fraction to work for 'em? I don't know, I stopped reading them eversince...

Deadpool

Yeah yeah, I know I'm late with the Marvel post. I've got lots of stuff going on this week.
Here's Deapool I did last night in ink.
