This was an illustration I did for The Jewish Exponent back in the 80s. It was for an article on the incredible surge in the amount of printed information. It went on to detail the trials and tribulations of researchers who have to slog through the ever-growing pile of printed works.
Ink from a bottle or digital ink? The ENDLESS STRUGGLE continues, but this time the turmoil is WITHIN as I cast aside the new digital techniques and once again embrace the tools of old!
Here’s a card I did back in the late-’80s/early ’90s that crams together three holidays. Seems I had slacked off somewhat and was in need of catching up on my holiday correspondence! This one was done in technical pens probably on bristol board.
Another pen and ink doodle from the mid-80s. Technical pens were my weapon of choice at the time.
Another sketchbook variation of the Teenage Beast A.K.A. Goo Goo Muck that I did back in the 1980s. In true, ’80s, monster movie fashion as the movie progresses, our hero turns into a bigger and badder monster as the remnants of his humanity fall away. Once again, this was done in technical pen.
Remember that show In Search of… which ran in the late ’70s? Leonard Nimoy did the voice-over. It was sort of a Chariots of the Gods for syndicated television. I found some sketches that predated the full figure sketch of the Garden State’s favorite demon that I posted earlier. They were done in technical pen …
I was rooting through my sketchbooks looking for old sketches that would have worked out for a Monkey & Bird idea, but of course, I got sidetracked. This is a drawing of a pair of ghouls as envisioned for a horror comic idea that never quite took wing. Ghouls being corpse eaters are not highly …
Another demon/gargoyle from my sketchbook drawn during the mid-’80s. Once again, I think this is when Dan Platt and I were hanging out and shooting the breeze about monsters. I think this was another attempt at the Jersey Devil, but I think this guy is much too fit for the Garden State. This was drawn …
While perusing Flickr, I came across the fabulous photos posted by olga-saglo. She posted images from "Carnival of Blood" which I remember seeing years ago on a low-rent local cable channel. I remembered doodling the "Fried Shrimp Lady" while watching that cinematic masterpiece. <a href=”http://flickr.com/photos/61516675@N00/2492783673/in/set-72157600052507428/”>flickr.com/photos/61516675@N00/2492783673/in/set-72157600…</a> I managed to dig out the sketchbook in question, and …
Sketchbook sketch from July of 1985 of Lon Chaney from his sadly lost London After Midnight. Done in technical pen in a Strathmore wire-bound sketchbook.
