INTRO

I recently discovered this treasure during my last visit helping clean out my parent's basement. Revisiting the characters, games, and publications I created as a child brought me to tears of laughter. I hope it does the same for you. I will be posting the work as I scan them. ENJOY!

I am now employed FT and would like any future donations to go to Child's Play; Penny Arcade's awesome fundraiser for kids in hospitals.

GALAGA INVADERS?

I was hoping to go in a somewhat chronological order, but I just found these older drawings on some more old computer paper with the holes on the sides......... 


Looks like I'm going to beat the high score! Seems like a hybrid of all the classic alien shooters; Yar's Revenge, Space Invaders, Galaga, Galaxian, etc Whatever game it was, I'm kickin' ass!

SUPER DUPER SPYHUNTER

I was hoping to go in a somewhat chronological order, but I just found these older drawings on some more old computer paper with the holes on the sides......... 

I loved SpyHunter. The local drugstore had the arcade and I played it as much as I could. I wanted my own version and I couldn't understand why the cars couldn't simply have MORE guns! I wanted evil red limos with bazookas, rocket power boosts, hub cap bombs!

BLINKY?

I was hoping to go in a somewhat chronological order, but I just found these older drawings on some more old computer paper with the holes on the sides......... 


Or maybe this is a squid or jellyfish? It was stacked with the video game drawings so I'm going with PacMan. I must say I really dig how I didn't draw the eyes directly with the marker.

KITE DAY

I was hoping to go in a somewhat chronological order, but I just found these older drawings on some more old computer paper with the holes on the sides......... 


It has clouds with mustaches. What else can I say?

UPSIDE DOWN ZZZZZZZZZZZs

 I was hoping to go in a somewhat chronological order, but I just found these older drawings on some more old computer paper with the holes on the sides......... 

 I always got a kick out the road runner cartoons where there was a single branch growing out of the side of the mountain. This was usually where the coyote grapped on for dear life before falling all the way down. Here we have a wise american bald eagle perched proudly and his little nocturnal buddy sleeps soundly underneath. Notice the "Zzzz'" are upside down? That's means I flipped the paper to draw the bat.

ANGRY SEALIFE

I was hoping to go in a somewhat chronological order, but I just found these older drawings on some more old computer paper with the holes on the sides.........

This must be the evil ocean because they all have "angry" eyes. The sun looks very unhappy that this evil, aquatic armada is heading towards something kind, sweet, and innocent.

THE ENFORCER

This handbook is FBI government data and is rated "Officially Top Secret" with information on the weaponry and equipment for the agent known only as, The Enforcer. More after the break.











WHERE THE FLAMES COME OUT

Maybe a torch bounty hunter for hire? A super firetrooper villan? A hater of ice sculpture? Not much is known about the identity of the Flamethrower, but we know a lot about the equipment! It has "dark shade for protection of brightness". Looks like I had fun with The Lord Society pages and moved onto color spec sheets. Here we have more 80's fashion in a "fire & lightening" inspired ensemble that says, "I'm prepared for anything hot."

THE LORD SOCIETY

This was taped together as a booklet. I even had a blank back page as any real book would. I'm not sure I follow where I was going with "FBI Federal Plans" I thought they were bad guys, but maybe they USED to be and now the FBI are fighting crime WITH crime? M.A.S.K. had to be inspiration....Crime Lord's gun looks a lot like the original Transformers Megatron. Classified spec pages after the break; click "read more" for top secret access...







COBRA NUN-JA!

Found an earlier drawing of Storm Shadow. As a child he was "cobra ninja" to me for a while I guess. I was however clever enough to use my metallic liquid pen for the swords, etc right down to the belt buckle.   ; )
