Mighty Men & Monster Maker




Great set of  mix and match stencils I had when I was a kid. The plastic segments have various hero and monster body parts in relief and you mix and match them to make exquisite corpse pics. Put some paper over the relief stencils and then scribble pen or crayon over to make images. Months of fun!

Daily Drawing #100

Some More Old Comics

These pages were from an unfinished ambitious epic I started drawing in my teens. Included a chapter in a mini comic, Subtle #1, produced about fifteen years ago, to have something to sell at Armageddon convention in Auckland that year. Managed to sell out my small run on the first day with Chris Knox spending his last two dollars on my one of the last copies. I had a friend in Auckland who worked for a foreign embassy at the time so at night time we snuck in and made a bunch more copies to sell on the Sunday.

Daily Drawing #98

This and That

Have been a busy lad with a large research project hence not much posting of late.

Started a new blog over here: LINES ON PAPER

Eighteen years ago when I was a young man full of hope, wonder and ambition, I wrote and drew a couple hundred pages of comics. Then I took a break for a while. Watched a bit of television for while. Played some music for while.

A few years ago I started making comics again in earnest. Here are a couple pages from eighteen years ago.
