Artist, Creator, writer of things, wrote some cartoon shows in a past life. Many portraits to show, some have a social point. Come step into my mind and see what happens when an artist bites the big one. Silence isn't as golden as they say it is.

That's the C64 edition. I had the game, it was one of many that sent a lot of joysticks to their graves.
I stopped playing the games series because it became too expensive to buy joysticks.

Thank you.
Frank also had to be drawn with Fozzie; this took 10 days on A3
I'd planned to draw more of the cast but became side-tracked by other people.
The Muppets and Sesame Street meant a lot to me when I was a child, they still do.

Merry Jason Day

Since today is #Friday13th and the most Friday 13th thing I can do is show a #PencilArt of #JasonVorhees in #JasonTakesManhatten (a better choice than what's happening today) here's something I drew over 6 days

I truly believe that a world of children who grew up with The Muppets and Sesame Street saw the world as a much happier and kinder place.
I started life in 1972 and I still wish I could have thanked Jim personally.

Took me 11 days to draw this in pencil.

Three stories you must tell your children at bedtime.

The Emperor's New Clothes
Chicken Little
Peter and the Wolf

They set the reader/listener up to see liars and cheats.
Always be that kid in The Emperor's New Clothes that stands out from the crowd and shouts "He's naked, I can see his dinkle!"

Thanks,
I'll wait for the physical edition, the only game I have on NES in that collection is Duck Tales (still can't complete it)
I'm not certain if all those games were released in the UK, Nintendo were selective and expensive, Sega's Master System was more popular over here.

Bit of a fanboy portrait started today. It's linked into a book I'm planning based around music portraits and since I was gifted a Thin Lizzy box set from my Mum and I grew up with Thin Lizzy in the charts, I was 4 when Boys Are Back in Town was released. I should draw Phil Lynott.

I will say that Curling has me confused as it appears to blend lawn bowls on ice with a mop but what he says in front of the world is exemplary.

I've recommended Seance on a Wet Afternoon to actors at conventions and some never knew of the film.
Got it on a Network disc a few years ago and it's one of those creepy films that get under your skin.
Works well as a double bill with The House Across The Lake.

A great man once said;
"Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups."
And
"Think of how stupid the average person is and realize half of them are stupider than that."

Never thought I'd miss intelligence but it was a golden age.

In a blink and you'll miss it screening today at 10:30am there was joyous laughter and references to classic sci-fi and horror films.
More of this art please, much more!

I'n one screen was a soulless propaganda documentary, in another was Porky & Daffy. No contest!

Lemmy should be with us now. The lyrics in this #Motorhead song were written around 1993, they're even more poignant considering the repulsive content in those files.
To think that there were those who claimed rock & metal music was the root of all evil.

My Grandad was in a POW camp next to Belsen, he was on the long march. He saw things he never told us.
One day while learning about WW2 at school, he said "You know they didn't give up in 1945, they scattered like rats. Some were caught but many escaped and lived new lives and had families."

Mark Kermode reviews Melania
YouTube video by Kermode and Mayo's Take Mark Kermode reviews Melania

β€œIt’s like somebody making a documentary in which Eva Braun feels sad about war while Hitler invades Poland”

So I'm just guessing that Mark Kermode doesn't like the film then.

With everything that's going on in this hellscape of a modern world, I'm leaning towards drawing portraits of people who are no longer alive. I think it's safer.
There may be a few alive musicians because of things happening behind the scenes, but I know where I stand with Lemmy.

Randy Andy
YouTube video by Herman The Tosser Randy Andy

You need to watch clips and episodes from the UK TV show Spitting Image (1980's-90's)
Since 14-15 yrs old he's been known as "Randy Andy" and those puppet sketches centered around the royal family from that show take on a new light now
The series is on dvd

I remember The House of The Mouse in the 1970's when The Rescuers and Robin Hood were released. Also fondly remember The Black Cauldron, every cartoon was hand painted. There was a saying back then "What would Walt Do?" They still need to think like that.

OK, listen up wood-chuck-chukkers... It's GROUNDHOG DAY!

A time when now the world's weather is predicted by a rodent because the bones and runes weren't available or something.
Anyhoo, I drew #GroundhogDay in 2022 over 6 days.

Also watch Society, The Stepford Wives (the original, not the remake)
And then on computers taking over the world watch:- Collossus The Forbin Project, The Demon Seed, Westworld, Futureworld, Beyond Westworld (short lived 6 episode TV spin off series)

Also V The Series and Alien Nation (film & TV)

Moonraker 1979

Hugo Drax, a meglomaniacal villian hijacks a space shuttle and aims to repopulate the world from space with his own hand picked perfect people. He leans towards the stiff arm brigade.

Nope! I can't see a connection between Drax and another nutter around today.
Dunno why I wrote this

I can honestly say that if anyone told me I'd got to do this I'd only use their "Free AI training" If I could break it. Possibly by asking that constant why question a three year old asks.

I've watched cartoons, I know what happens when a coyote offers free birdseed.
