1997,1998 - Freaky Stories!

FREAKY STORIES

This little show was all about the telling of urban legends and creepy tales that kids could watch in a variety of styles. It also took place in all kinds of places, the past, future, present and even on other worlds. This cool little show aired on YTV in Canada, I do not know where else in the world it was broadcasted but it did last a few years on television. I think some on the episode are on "YouTube" so you can catch some of them there to give your spin a tingle.

This is the show that got me so interested in different styles of animation that I never stopped. It is probably why I don't really have a set style like a so many artist do. You think that would be a good thing, but it makes it even harder to find jobs when you constantly have to prove you can do the job clients want. But even with all that trouble, I never regret the things this little show introduced me to and will always be thankful for.

I sure did draw a lot of cops.

Old is New Again!

BUSTER KEATON AS DOCTOR WHO

Buster keaton is my favourite silent screen comedian and while watching one of his films, the image of him as "Doctor Who" popped into my head. Just something that amused me at the time.

Priority Code: Snow White!

SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN

STEVE AUSTIN - THE BIONIC MAN

OSCAR GOLDMAN - THE BIONIC MAN'S BOSS

MASKATRON - THE BIONIC MAN'S ENEMY

JAIME SOMMERS - THE BIONIC WOMAN

FEMBOT - THE BIONIC WOMAN'S ENEMY

BIGFOOT - SASQUATCH BEAST

I have been watching this old series lately and I could not believe how much I LOVE THIS SHOW!. It had everything a young boy could want in a HERO, bionic powers, star athlete, secret agent, astronaut, and always got the girl in the end.

It kind of makes me sad that there is no more live-action adventure series ( Night rider, The A-Team, Air wolf, etc. ) for kids anymore where adults are the heroes and not just kids. Somewhere down the line Studios and Producers think that kids only associate with other kids and adult role models don't work. I have always said throughout my career:

Who wants to be "Robin", I want to be "BATMAN".

Do The Krang Thang!

KRANG ATTACK

KRANG'S ANDROID BODY

KANG SKATEBOARDS

KRANG'S ANDROID BODY

KRANG'S ANDROID BODY FIGURE

KRANG VS TURTLE

Just a blast from the past for those who grew up in the 80's with the Turtles cartoon. I do not care for the new extreme super pumped up version at the movies, I preferred it when they where fun and silly. Krang's android body was my favorite thing about that old cartoon just because he was so bizarre and outlandish. Here is some versions I have been playing with for my own amusement.

Hope you enjoy them too.

Bow Before Cobra!

Something new this time, a look into my hobbies. I figured "what the hell" and share some of my custom figure and stuff once and a while.

First up is my Cobra Commander which I made out of the Daredevil movie figure. That's right kids, Cobra is commanded by Ben Affleck! The head is from some preschool figure with a jaw added from a "Gundam" model and with the base from a "Wolverine" model kit, put a coat of paint on and that's it.

Not the most amazing stuff, but it is fun to do and I enjoy it.
