I THOUGHT THE CAPTION WOULD WRITE ITSELF.



I found this picture and I thought: That needs a funny caption! Something slightly racy, perhaps. Something about trailer trash? Or perhaps something about a honey trap. Never mind I'll post it and the caption will come to me.


Damned if my mind ain't a blank.


Fortunately you guys are smart and very funny and so I leave it to you to caption this photo.


I look forward to see what you folks come up with.

I'M NOMINATED FOR A PULP ARK AWARD!





The Pulp Ark Award Nominations were announced and the cover art I did  for Joel Jenkins' book STRANGE GODS OF THE DIRE PLANET, has been nominated! I'm sure it's all a horrendous mistake and I have absolutely zero chance of winning, not just because all the other nominees are so fantastic, but because among the nominees are Michael William Kaluta and Joe Devito!


Nevertheless I am absolutely ecstatic to be nominated and to be in such illustrious company!


You can see all the nominees here.

FOLK POP FOP: KING CHARLES





Here's a quirky song from a quirky new British Artist. King Charles has been described by the British newspaper The Guardian as a: "dandy in the underworld" and goes on to say that he is "...part of a tradition of uniquely English, psych-inflected pastoral whimsy"


He does look like a bit of a prat, but his song Ivory Road is kind of cool. Here is the video:

GINGER ON THE STAGE



One of my favourite bloggers is Ginger Ingenue. Her blog, Asleep in New York, features her thoughts on old movies and occasional stream-of-consciousness flights of fancy. After a long hiatus she returned with a wonderful post about performing on the vaudeville stage, playing her accordion during the intermission of the Marx Brother's show.


Her imagery is always amazing and while reading her post I came across a picture by Edward Hopper of an audience in front of an empty stage. So I decided to paint Ginger into the empty space.


Head over to her blog and read her post and it will all make sense. Maybe.


Even if it doesn't you will be entertained.


And she smells nice.

MUJINA!

My oldest and dearest friend, G. W. Thomas, is a writer and an illustrator. Here is the first page of a two-page story he illustrated for a 'zine called Rowrbrazzle back in 1991.






You can read the second page over at his blog, Genre Writer.

DELLA DIXON



This was part of concept package I was preparing for a local sports bar. I'd heard through the grapevine they were looking for a new image so I prepared this character. Unfortunately before I could make my pitch they got bought out and became a biker bar, so this concept never got seen until now.


Although I also heard that the bar is for sale again so Della Dixon here may get another chance.


UPDATE: I heeded the very good comment by illustrator Erik Johnson and made some changes. I think I managed to bring a little more life to the face (at least I made her look a little happier to be at work!) and changed some colours. I also did some judicious erasing including getting rid of most of my obsessive shirt wrinkles. As always, less is more.




What do you think?

NEW BLOG I FOUND



So there's this doctor who returned from to London after serving in Afghanistan and he has a blog where he talks about his friend all the time.


It's mad but fascinating at the same time.

NEW COVERS FOR 2012!




Both of them painted in 2011, actually, but the author, Joel Jenkins, just made an announcement at his website, so I'm posting them here.


LOST TRIBES OF THE DIRE PLANET and THE ISLAND OF LOST SOULS will both be available sometime in 2012.

MONDAY MORNING



Ugh... Back to the daily grind after a lame New Years (after the Canucks got spanked 4-1 by LA I lost interest in celebrating). Sunday we cleaned the house and managed to go for a walk.


This morning all I managed to get in was the little bit of practice you see above. Well, they say it makes perfect. I haven't seen that happen yet, but I do it all the same.
