ODD JOBS w FRANK- prt 2

Well it looks like Frank & Co. are hard at it again. Pulling together to get by in these uncertain economic times. No job is seemingly too mad or too shady to not be considered, and or ... executed - by Frank - er ... ha !!! 
Some of the gigs get a little ' hairy ' but hey, it's nothing compared to some lines of employ out there. And besides, being tight sucks. I mean for the love of Cthulhu, living from tentacle to mouth is crazy ! ! !

' Just Inking Around - !!! '

It's quite simple -
Take this Long Bad-Ass Winter  +  days of near martian cold  + the sun being swallowed by a giant sky snake, add them up and what do you get . . . ?

Year End Round Up 2013

O.K. my friends - this is it - the closing of another calendar year. 
We have voyaged across the chasms of sky yet again, and return to give thanks. So in honor of this occasion I thought I'd post up what I've been busy with for the last bit. Mixed media for mixed Monsters. And experiments in the lab. I know we just passed through X-mas, but personally - I'm still on Halloween time I guess.
I wish everyone the best for the coming year. Happiness, clarity of mind, and sound purpose of heart. What ever it is you do and where ever you find yourself doing it, happy travels and truly all the best to You and Yours for 2014 - 

Happy New Year everyone !!!

Prosperity, wisdom, good fortune and laughter   -  James

 

 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN - 2013

       Sanguine celebrations my cannibalistic kids happy horror hipsters and gloomy shifters of shape. As the most excellent of eves approaches my pulse rises, like a dirty red moon in excitement of the glorious procession of pagan pageantry known as . . . . . . . . . . . . ALL HALLOWS EVE.
So to mark this fabulous night of foreboding - I offer to you these small tokens of my affections, sticky as they may be !!! 
Cackle your cracking calls wide, divine Children of the Night, most deplorable of creations damnation's - roll your ravenous raving out across the red carpet of the world. Run fast through silent shadows - lithe, swift and true. Stand in beatific blackness and raise your feral faces towards the ancient stars - calling from the belly of night, and give thanks . . . . .

- ROBOT TROUBLE -

Here's some new things. A mix of old school and new school technologies.   
Some gouache, some water colour, some ink, and some pixels.

 

Small Book Work

Here's some more stuff from the small book ( 5 x 7" ) that I've been keeping. Some different brush's and dip nib action. Water soluble pencils and some new water color paints.
  
I guess it's not hard to notice my attraction to the GIANT Insect idea ( Mars Attacks, Lexx, Starship Troopers, etc ... ) rampaging around causing havoc.  Awesome !!!
 

O.K.  - so here's this little free form story / experiment thing I was playing with. I like doing these things because you never know where they are going to lead you to. But yes, I know - scripts are maps, and maps ( can ) help you get to places. 

But - crazy, no headlights, doors ripped off, screaming through the corn driving is soooo much fun too !!!

New Sketch Book Work

Alright - here's a whack of new stuff from my sketch book. I've been having fun using that Sable Hair brush I was telling you about ( see - ' Blaster Boy ' ) and also playing with colored inks, water colors and Gouache. And some improvised tools for inking.  Just letting it roll.

Yep. That and watching for black helicopters.

O.K. - 

I was cleaning up ( Ha ! ) and found my 'small' black sketch book that I had TOTALLY forgotten about. ( I have a lot of these things flying around here in the ' Lab ' - you know ! ) Anyhow - the work is of the same period as the work already posted under this heading. All of the additional work, except for the first two images, exist in the small book. 

So - WOW -  more weird stuff to ruin your sleep  ~
