Back to Lil' Okie Ellis Comic....

Got derailed on this project. Now I'm trying to learn how to use the crow-quill dip pen.
 Sheesh, why don't I just make like the rest of the world and do it all on the computer??

p.s. I did this without looking at my Jack Davis book...it's clear I should have!

Man, I forgot how BIG this was




























I just got this in today. I forgot how BIG it was. This is the size of a small tombstone and about as heavy.
This is just AMAZING to look at.

Moonfleet (1955) Directed by Fritz Lang




































I'm getting a real kick from my DVD purchases from the Warner Archives. Lots of films. TV shows, cartoons that have never been put to DVD. This was something I had not seen in many years and I was great to see it again. Staring Stewart Granger and a varied cast of many know character actors such as George Sanders, Jack Elam and Alan Naiper (Batman 66). The story concerns a smuggling operation in a wayward English town in the late 1750's operated by Granger. This film is in color but is directed by Fritz Lang. His German Impressionism on the countryside sets and over all mood really stand out as well as Granger's performance. Great classic stuff.

Random sample of the many, MANY, indy titles being offered these days.
Someone self promoting on Facebook lead me to this Indy Planet.
Gorillas vs Robots...Does it excite me? 
Well done art involving two favorite subjects?
Nope. 
For some reason with so much other stuff, it makes me tired.
