74


So.

A thing happened today.

I won’t talk about it, I can’t talk about it. I am not good at this kind of thing and it is not my place nor should it be. I am an idiot and I deal in idiocy. As far as I am concerened, my place in this world – my job – is to distract from reality by producing a bunch of idiotic stuff for public consumption/entertainment. I am unimportant, ridiculous bullshit for the world.

So, if you click on the above drawing, you’ll see of my ridiculous bullshit in absolute full force. Not Safe for Work. Or children. Or the elderly. Or anyone or anything, really.

Like I said, I am an idiot.

That said, I watched Storage 24 last night. It features Mickey from Doctor Who fighting a bad break-up and an alien in a storage locker. It’s not good, but it does work slightly better if you think of him as Mickey from Doctor Who. Not much, but some. Or just avoid this movie because it’s kinda crap. Cheap special effects and every horror/sci-fi cliche that has ever been writ. It tries, it really does, but it’s ambition isn’t very ambitious.

So.

Carry on, world. Take care of each other.

I approached this is a different manner and was fairly pleased with the outcome. Huh.

Ok, PANIC!: Naked Superheroes


Wanted to do a reversal of this drawing.

72. Captain Marvel


I’ve always been a Carol Danvers fan, and I dig the new costume. Plus, everyone else with a pen and markers is doing this, so why not me?

71. Iggy and The Stooges

69. Dr. Death


Dammit, I think I always forget to celebrate the 69th post.

The other day, I watched a movie called Madhouse starring Vincent Price and Peter Cushing. It was fun. Not so much a horror movie as it was more like a gorier, longer episode of “Murder She Wrote”. It features Price as a washed-up, aging horror actor who is convinced to revive his best known character for a new TV series – Dr. Death. Soon, cast and crew are murdered in gruesome ways with Dr. Death as the suspected culprit, and Price must prove he is innocent or discover something truly horrific about himself.

I liked the look the of the character, but don’t think I pulled it off very well here. Ah fuck.

68. Silver Surfer


My computer is now into day 3 of running a chkdsk. So, no scanner. Camera phone to the mediocre rescue once again!

Scarecrows. Weird, but not in a bad way horror movie about a group of thieves who are stalked and killed by undead scarecrows.

66. Blacula


Feeling a little better today. All I want to do, though, is veg out and play video games. Cannot. Will not.

So as I ate dinner last night, I flipped through the channels to find that Scream Blacula Scream (the sequel to Blacula, which I’ve never seen) was on tv. And I watched it. It’s terrible and awesome. And Pam Grier is in it. So I drew the character.

Also watched:

TerrorVision. Terribly cheesy yet dumb fun 80s horror schlock. But it knows what it is and isn’t trying to be anything different.

The Resurrected. Or “Shatterbrain”, according to IMDB. It’s an early 90s adaptation of the HP Lovecraft story “The Case of Charles Dexter Ward” by Dan O’Bannon, who wrote ALIEN, and wrote and directed RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD. Also starring Jack’s Dad from LOST, the blonde chick from HERMAN’S HEAD and Chris Sarandon from being interviewed on Gutter Trash once. It’s okay.

The thing that really made both movies watchable were the practical special effects. C’mon Hollywood, get your shit together and stop using CG as a crutch. A lot of this stuff can be done on camera cheaply and quickly!
