'Chup II: A show has come

     I had these stashed away for just such an occasion, from a B flick on the TV giving up just this one special scene, as they nearly all often do. It was just a matter of making it into a CONCEPT.

'Chup I: So you're telling me there was an Xmas

     Well, then there must have been art!  It was time to get to it for really much longer than the time spent doing it, and the ratio keeps swinging every year, so that eventually I will be time travelling to get these done.  This year, however, was Xtra special, as these are collaborations!  Yes, dear Katie H. threw down some of her skills to bless the season.  (I cannot figure out why Blogger and only Blogger wants to turn these on their sides, and I'm tired of fighting it)

Hallowha?

     So it came and went, a show about around Halloween-like times, and we played it.  And there was ART.  Not much to it, fantastic pic of Lon Chaney from a no-longer-exitstent film, tinted for the season.

Empty Back Pocket

     We've done quite a few fundraisers for Benton County Skateboarding Alliance, which led me to stash this image away at some point.  They usually take care of all the promo, but this time it was not so, so I stepped up to throw down.  Always reticent to cash in that backup plan but I like where this one went.

A Little More Effort

      I started working on this robot last time, putting an accordion in it's mitts, but that didn't click, so I went the bent puppets on TV route instead.
     This time the robot found a home via a wrist radio call from an enthusiastic etherbroadcaster (no gender puns intended).  I like it.

Gotta Show

     Went down a nowhere road before giving up and going here.  The overlaid faces are the only reason for this.  The face that emerges from the two belies intent.

Halloweeeeeeen!!!!

     Once the gig was in the bag I knew I needed to make an effort, unlike some of my more recent "works".  I had a source image, but what to make of it?  Not easy to translate, as the original was in sorry shape.  But in the end I can call it ART.

Show's A'Comin'

     So, once again I was pretty sure I wasn't going to be making a poster for the upcoming show. Then I decided to create a better fb event image. Then, since I burned an image on that image, I imagined myself right into making a poster.  It's OK.

Back At It

     Another show, another poster, and as I greased the elbows for this one, here's the gist - the end followed by the means:

There Were Shows

     And so there were stickers.  No posterwork so these were free-floaters:

Years Later

     It's been many years gone since Cinematic Titanic was a thing that was, but luckily the swell of riffing this epoch has brought some heroes back into reach

     And there was even the new guy

Ahead Of The Game

Big show on the horizon prompted me to be prompt on this one

Another Show

I wasn't gonna, and neither was anyone else.  So then...

Xmas Happened

And there were cards

There Was A Show

     There were a couple of shows that were supposed to happen and didn't.  In anticipation I executed an idea for a sticker that I had, but kept not using as the shows disappeared.  The third show actually happened.  Barely.  So sticker became real.

It's Growing On Me

     This latest attempt was another desperate grasp at something I knew not.  My lack of nuts and bolts knowledge led to a spiffy start becoming a dimmed shadow of itself.  But I carried on and it came out pretty and a little mesmerizing at times.  I had to add the alien from the pulp sci-fi cover I'd run across just because he was needed -if not thematically- then simply to be.
