The Mark Of The Beast

  YOUR Gods and my Gods — do you or I know which are the stronger? Native proverb. East of Suez, some hold, the direct control of Providence ceases; Man being there handed over to the power of the Gods and Devils of Asia, and the Church of England Providence only exercising an occasional and modified supervision in the case of Englishmen. This theory accounts for some of the more unnecessary horrors of life in India: it may be stretched to explain my story. My friend Strickland of the Police, who knows as much of natives of India as is good for any man, can bear witness to the facts of the case. Dumoise, our doctor, also saw what Strickland and I saw. The inference which he drew from the evidence was entirely incorrect. He is dead now; he died, in a rather curious manner, which has been elsewhere described. When Fleete came to India he owned a little money and some land in the Himalayas, near a place called Dharmsala. Both properties had been left him by an uncle, and he came out t...

John Meets Glycon

Would an outside observer see what John is seeing?  Magic can be subjective.  No matter, if one of those snakes bites Constantine, he will die. Very painfully.   John Constantine, Hellblazer.  DC Comics.

A Land Dispute

Image
While carnivores eat game and rabbits don't, that does not mean the Rabbit Nation wants these savages running around unchecked.  Rabbits regard the Hunting Peoples as uncouth barbarians, while the hunters think the vegetarian bunnies just that bit soft.  According to tradition both sides have sworn to abide by the terms and award the land rights to the victor of this match, and many oaths have been attested to the gods of both tribes.  I suspect that this champion wolf has a knife tucked into his tail somewhere, and I know the rabbit does.  I wish I could have sold tickets to this! This was a request from a person that would not be satisfied with what I gave him, that was the last time I drew something for someone I don't know.  People that ask for free art are all fucked up.

Something For Everyone

Circa 1982, I lived in a part of Dallas that was just all over sex crazed young people.  The local grocery was just the most incredible meat market, and marriage meant nothing to anyone but me, it seemed.  Fuck!  I missed out on so much fun.

Be Careful What You Fish For Sgt Billy

  10 days later...and here we are, marooned on a desert island somewhere in the south pacific. Let's rewind for a moment. So i was watching how epoxy resin Underwater model dioramas are created on YouTube some time ago, here's an image of what i'm talking about, I kind of got a little obsessed watching these dioramas being created and the process in the making, then i pondered the idea, ''can i replicate this kind of Diorama on paper? Well it did take many hours of figuring this little conundrum out. I started doing some Basic Sketch work or my usual reference storyboard, which is very chaotic but like the A-Team? ''the plan always come together''. Before i start any major detailed line hatch drawing, I'll set down on paper some pencil Reference Sketches, i'll use a single piece of A4 paper, an HB pencil only for these basic reference bullet points. These ideas are either sketched directly from the mindseye to paper or if there's a featu...

Rollout!

I have decided to switch gears and try to crack the children's illustrated book market.  I have re-drawn Billy so that he is a wonderful role model and genuine inspiration for all those kids who wish to make something of their lives.  He will become a free soul, happy and charismatic, instead of the neurotic, resentful, grudge holding, sexually deviant, alcohol and tobacco dependent violence prone scofflaw bunny that he is now.  I expect real interest from such luminaries as Highlights magazine and the Little Golden Books division of Random House.  No doubt Disney and others, like Sesame Street, will be eager to get on board with this terrific new children's icon.  Here is our proof of concept prototype for this excitingly adorable rabbit, which will certainly put Richard Scarry et al. in the ninth circle of Hell where they fucking well belong. Imagine the delight on your precious little angel's faces as they first dive into the Billy Bunny And His Pals Wacky L...
