DEAD TO RIGHTS

 More concept stuff for the ongoing MONSTER RALLY saga... the first is an ink and watercolor of an undead lawyer who finds a loophole in the century-old contract that keeps monsters etc. literally undeground. 

The other is a marker/india ink panel of a hapless zombie who doesn't even make it out of his grave before...

12 o'CS COVERED!

The cover for the book, except this wasn't done with the Corel Painter 11 but with real brushes and acrylic paint.  I was going for that old Gold-Key comic cover look -- Boris Karloff Presents, etc., with cheesy cover paintings that didn't match the artwork inside at all.  I did this before I changed the title to TWELVE o'Clock Somewhere from FIVE, as midnight is the betwitching hour and Five isn't very spooky at all.

And sharp-eyed followers of this blog will recognize the doomed myopic bird from an earlier post shown here as the Comic Co. logo.

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.
