Don’t know what I will do with the sky, yet, and the body of ‘Shub’ is calling out for more gorpy veins and pustules and shit, but I think the legs are much improved from the last version.

Still feel like I am trying to get the feeling for this digital painting thing. Those people on you-tube make it look so easy.

Dude in purple speedo fighting a big green monster. This is a second attempt at this picture, trying to learn how to use Corel Painter. Not perfect, yet, but getting better. Below is an earlier version:

This is current state for “attack of the beak-men.” I’m considering doing a color version for limited edition prints. I tend to think the humans are kind of fucked in this one… once that wave of beak men hits, their puny little shield wall is probably done.

Between a daytime 9-5 and teaching an evening class and a few other projects, I have been ignoring the website. So here is a drawing of one of the ‘Plant Men’ from the Edgar Rice Burroughs John Carter of Mars stories.
I very much enjoyed these tales when I was a youngster despite Burroughs’ weaknesses as a writer. Or maybe ‘weaknesses as a writer’ is putting it wrong — he’s a pulp writer, so comparing him to ‘writers of literature’ probably tells us nothing. Frank Baum probably couldn’t get his Oz stories published today but the influence of Baum on culture is obvious — ERB is at least as important to me as a writer like Jules Verne (and I LOVE Jules Verne). I also remember the comics published by Marvel from the 1970s vividly; Gil Kane was/is an art hero to me.
