Pointless, but Hopefully Somewhat Entertaining.

Sneak peek of a project I just finished, but cannot completely reveal yet:


I recently went upstate to visit my family and while I was there I found a long lost treasure: Alien comic books. These were the ones that came with various action figures done by Kenner in '92. When they released this line they wanted to give you a wallop of a package, so not only did you get melted down plastic shapes of alien life forms, but you also got a nail-biting, thrill ride of a read.


Sweet.
The craziest thing about these comics was at the end of every issue there was some crazy cliffhanger where aliens were wreaking havoc on some planet and the gang hopped into their space jet, flew there, and blew up any creature that resembled some alien life form that mated with any kind of species from Earth. This seemed to imply that the alien hunters never slept or ate, did a piss-poor job at actually killing the aliens, and that all species on Earth also exist on other planets.


I also found my first skateboard. Saved up 140 dollars to buy this thing when I was in sixth grade.

What was once the tail.

Made a new friend.

To anyone that saw me drawing hundreds of cats in my sketchbook, or had heard me mention this, well, here it is.


Largely inspired by this big guy.

Lost in the shuffle

Here are those extra heads I mentioned I had laying around. First is Ray Bradbury. You are blowing it if you haven't read any of his work besides Fahrenheit 451. Maybe when Urban Outfitters can market some hip cover design for his other works, more people will find out how amazing he is.


A young Norman Mailer


Also, here are some lyrics which have recently blown my mind and I'd like to share with you:

"Just wrap your legs around these velvet rims/ And strap your hands across my engines"

"Pick up the dog-doo/Hope that it's hard"

"Just the two of us/Building castles in the sky"
