AURORA CLUB JAZZ!

My brother Jonathan has an online podcast that features the goings-on in the Aurota Club, a virtual nightclub where the master-of-ceremonies, The Fat Man hosts an evening of live jazz. When the Aurora Club put together a 'greatest hits' CD for I-tunes, Jonathan needed album art and. seeing as all band members are anonymous, I did this picture of a shadow-concealed band, one that may - or may not - be the fabled virtual jazz quartet.

This little ditty inspired a whole movie! My cousin Kris Johnson (aka Kristian Idol) adapted it into a fifteen minute film shot in and around the Los Angeles area. (The character "Lance Loophole" was never mentioned by name in the film however.)

The Mummy (tries to) Come To LIFE!

A few sory board panels for a mummy movie I started writing. Long before Steve Sommers (also of Minnesota) wrote and directed not one but two Mummy movies, this (as the panels suggest)were more in the forties "bit of a romp" style than Mr. Sommer's films.

Doodles

Cute little guy.

Get it? get it?

The evolution of a doodle. Started deawing Lucy VanPelt, made her counting money and decided to put her in the gun sights of an off-camera James Bond. Funny, but I hear this was the original plot for the first PEANUTS Christmas special.

Bizarre.

Face it, every boy grows up eventually.

Holy Harriet!

When I drew this it seemed that every facet of the Batman saga was being exploited in every way, shape and form. Comics featuring the Joker, Robin without Batman, Batman in the twenties, Batman in the future... It seemed everyone from Gotham City had a book except Bruce Wayne's aunt.

A storyboard panel I did to promote Monster Rally, wherein a motorcycle cop investigates a car crash... only to make a grisly discovery...

Who doesn't love animals acting like people acting like animals?!
