It's the Flash Gordon show that nobody remembers and I can't really blame anybody. It wasn't that great of a show and was not aired for very long but it did get a toy line which you can find on "eBay" in package for cheap. I guess people thought this was going to be big so lots of people hoarded them to sell later.

Don't get me wrong, I had a blast working on it and made some friends, lots of memories to last the rest of my life. I never got to work on a science fiction show like this again but I had the best time, Tons of artwork was done and the client did not care how detailed we made anything, toys were made based on my designs ( for the first and only time ), the ships I designed were 3D ( with a 2D rendering ) and the best part, I was working on FLASH GORDON!

Ever Dance with The Devil in The Pale Moonlight!

 DEVILMAN

SILENE

Some classic Devilman for ya, used to watch this and anything else I could get my hands on when I was in college. Back then anime wasn't everywhere as it is now and most watched it on VHS that has been copied may times and passed around from person to person. 

Jeez I am getting old.

You got to love all those cereal critters you grew up with staring at you from their colourful boxes as you ate your cereal. I personally did not have a childhood with all the sugar filled fun these characters provided, but I love them anyway. 

This time I played with action figure packaging a bit more than I have before by adding a figure and the blister bubble to go with it. It's fun to see the "What if" scenario played out if I did the art for one my favourite things.
