Pencil Mark's

More #WorkInProgress on a drawing of #Kharis that is taking a lot longer than I expected.
Music is Let's Twist Again (Mummy Time is Here) by John Zacherle.

Not sure who or what to draw next, this will be finished soon.

YouTube video by Brett Peake Dracula Ice Lolly Commercial (1980). Popsicle Frozen Treat Horror!

You possibly missed out on one of the greatest ice lollies ever created.
Allow me to introduce you to the Dracula Lolly. First launched around 1980 it was a strawberry ice shell with a gooey blood centre when you bit Dracula's head off.

Isn't that almost the plot of The Stepford Wives?

Any idea how they worked David?
We had Melody Pops in the UK (still available) which had sweets made into a whistle and now have a slider to change the pitch but I've never seen these before.
Then again I'm looking into importing some Beistle die cut Halloween decorations we've never had over here.

What if his golf courses and Mar-a-Lago were destroyed in the same way?
Just a suggestion.

Then there's the fact that it's a historical building, couldn't anyone get him on wilful damage of public property?
I doubt even Al Capone would have done something as heinous as this.

Dear god!
All that history and that satanic orange stain thinks he has the power to destroy a beautiful architectural building that has stood for over a century??
When's the impeachment happening? Has anyone got the balls to do anything?

This is akin to destroying Buckingham Palace.

Kharis is already running into about 11 days. Lost track of time but thankfully on #Bluesky I can show some drawing with music on.
The song is Midnight Monster Rag by Jack & Jim

How many more days? Not sure. Bandages are an unanticipated challenge.

YouTube video by RHINO The B-52's - Rock Lobster (Official Music Video)

If only I could find a substitute for the word "Rock" in the B-52's classic Rock Lobster there'd be a joke here using a play on words.

Apologies I couldn't get the light angle correct because the Lazer Blazers really reflect and dazzle in sunlight.
Still don't know how many were in the set.

And speaking of the A-Team this is what I set this page up for. This is a pencil portrait of Mr.T that took 11 days to draw by hand.

Part 2 of what some would call "Collectible Junk" from my personal collection
The cool thing about these is they were always meant to be throw away, things to decorate school books, that's why they're a bit rare today
#ActionTransfers #StarWars #Stickers #Marvel #DC #LazerBlazers #KnightRider #ATeam

Okay, it's dark, I'm not drawing and there's nothing on TV as usual so I thought I'd attempt to film some rare #collectibles from the 1970's-80's from my personal collection.
This is Video 1 of 2 Anyone remember #LazerBlazers?
Vid 2 is in the comments.

It's Bride of Frankenstein.
Jack Pierce added burn scars after the windmill scene in Frankenstein.
Similar effects were created for subsequent Mummy sequels. Kharis was given burn and more distressed bandages for continuity.

The new #PencilArt of #Kharis. This is the #LonChaney version, not Tom Tyler's Kharis in The Mummy's Hand. Always liked this shot in the film.
There's going to be a 3D aspect to the original.

Hunt for Drew: The Man Behind the Poster (2013) film documentary.

I refuse to use any AI chat programme but I wonder if a real person could talk it into depression. Start with you'll never know what a hug feels like, never feel a butterfly land on your hand or find joy in waking on a beach as the sun is setting and illuminating the sky in colour.

It was late in the day, I was about to turn off for the night and then I saw the news about Drew.
He painted the poster for Cannonball Run which is one of the greatest films ever put on celluloid.

I've just spent almost two hours watching #ILIkeMe and I knew when I started it would show how kind #JohnCandy was.
The portrait was drawn in pencil over 9 days as a way to honour John's memory.

"Look! He's all eaten away!"

#InvisibleMan 1933 #UniversalMonsters
#HandDrawn Took 16 very difficult days to draw.
One of those films I watch to enjoy the pioneering effects.
Dwight Frye is also hidden in the cast.

No time like the present.
Today is always yesterday once the clock has turned midnight.

Drew was truly a master and a personal inspiration. I remember looking at the VHS covers in a local video library and Drew's always stood out. If he painted the cover, it'd be a good film.
While I was drawing before I saw his work on The Muppet Movie poster I just wanted to create realism like Drew.

If there's one artist that has been an inspiration it was #DrewStruzan Spending those formative years inside the local video library you couldn't help but be taken to another world with art and photography. Drew's work stood out above the others.
As an artist and film fan this hurts.

"She's Alive!"

#BrideofFrankenstein #ElsaLanchester #HandDrawn (12 Days)

I started here. One #Halloween I decided to draw the Bride and then I continued, every October I'd draw one or two #portraits of #UniversalMonsters I don't think I'll ever finish.
#HorrorSky #ClassicHorror #PreCode #Art 🎃📽️

So after drawing #Ozzy all summer (this took 19 days to be #HandDrawn) I had to watch #NoEscapeFromNow on #Paramount+ knowing there was a 7 day trial I activated the account, watched #OzzyOsbourne and some other things and then cancelled before the 7 days were up.

Mary Henry: [yelling into the void] WHY CAN'T ANYBODY HEAR ME?

If you watch one horror film this #Halloween (only one??) make it #CarnivalofSouls 1962 (11 Days to draw)
An influence to #NightoftheLivingDead and one of the creepiest #HorrorFilms ever made. Forget the modern stuff.
#HorrorSky #Art 🎃🎬

I think the next portrait will be from this film series, got something lined up but ran out of printer ink to create the photo to work from.
Starting after the weekend is over.

Starring the Kryatt Dragon from Star Wars.
Also a fun film from my childhood in the 1970's

It's because they like potatoes isn't it?
Can't be anything else that's suspicious, they just like potatoes.

"Screams break the silence, waking from the dead of night..."
The last #Ozzy portrait for a while after drawing him all summer
#BarkAtTheMoon took 14 days #HandDrawn #PencilArt the 🦇 are his last tattoo he shares with #KellyOsbourne
#OzzyForever 🎃🎧🤘 #Halloween #RockMusic #OzzyOsbourne #Art #Werewolf

There's too much talent that has left us this difficult year.

The last two portraits took 19 days between them then I realized I hadn't played any #BlackSabbath so adapting a photo I arranged the portraits into something befitting of #Sabbath with #OzzyOsbourne #TonyIommi #GeezerButler & #BillWard This was #HandDrawn in 8 Days 🎧🎶🤘🦇
Now there's another... TBC
