| 1950s Space Cards |
[Jul. 30th, 2008|09:05 pm] |
Hi. Sorry again for not posting any scanned sci-fi comic strips or hand drawn monsters for while. Work and personal life seem to have gone into overdrive. Thought I'd absolutely have to share these with people. Picked them up on a market the other day. 1950's "Space Cards" - originally sold with bubble gum, I think. Reminded me of the cards in Zathura. I bought them mainly for the spacesuits. :)
Space, gold fish bowls and primary colours!
Hope you're all well. Bb / W. :)

| Gary Gygax Obituary Economist March 15th 2008 |
[Apr. 19th, 2008|08:39 pm] |
I know this seems a little late in the day in internet terms but I thought I should post this particular obituary of E. Gary Gygax (which my father saved from the Economist, UK - which surprised me as a choice of magazine).
This is one of the better articles I've read - the few articles I've seen seem to miss the point dreadfully, wanting to talk about the current computer games industry or some comment on geekery, when in fact there is wide cultural influence -D&D is part of the zeitgeist, there is a collective awareness of it. But I'll shut up and hey, what do these whippersnapper journalists know these days, eh? with their searches on Google and Wikipedia - now that's real research. ;)
Fat beardies with funny dice, forever!

Some friends had a baby human girl child, so I drew this for them. :)

I'm really enjoying repetitive detail work ...
 
Pen on paper. When coloured in I'll post both on DA. ;)
The good weather is back, but it's strangely quiet around here - where have all the lawn drunks gone?!
Oh no wait, I can hear a drill - gawd bless weekend DIY-ers. :D |

Apologies, things have been busy. More Sloane scans soon. And if you're really lucky, some photos of cows and cardboard things, but not cardboard cows, which would be silly. |

*Radio static ... a message sent long ago from a ship lost in the long night*
Are you there ...? Can you hear me? Are we alone in the universe? Lie to me. Please. The truth is too dark.
Presenting...
This insane science fiction graphic novel was published in English (translated from French) in 1972. I'm not sure if any introduction can do it justice. I will scan and post as many pages as I can before I am sent crazy.
Wikipedia entry regarding early origins of Lone Sloane: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lone_Sloane
Due to the large nature and arrangement of the scanned pages, IE7 users with low-res screens may benefit from using the zoom tool, whilst some people may also have rediscover the sideways scrollbar and F11 ...

| Shrink to fit monsters |

Hmm. Since not seeing a shrink I’ve decided not to worry too much about where some of these drawings come from. (The Id and the Super-Id they lurk in the shadows …) I remember being scared to doodle too much when I was a teenager, in case it would reveal hidden things about me to lay psychologists! :o Okay, it was a confusing time … ;) |
