Really old stuff: Pt4 Dog headed people
Really old stuff :Pt3 Cute anymuls
Really old stuff: Pt2 Heroes
How old? Well its from my graduation show.
Trading cards of my heroes at the time. Yeah, that'll fascinate people. Each was backed by a mini essay, which looking at the set today was full of typos. The start of my journalistic career.
Well, a couple of cards were stolen. Gonzo was taken twice. I think it was Gonzo.
Missing from this set, as i obviously didnt scan the original art at the time (not sure it still exists even)
are Gary Oldman, John Lydon (doubt he'd make the list today), Kylie, and controversially for a Liverpool fan - Eric Cantona.
Lee Marvin didnt make the leap to finished art at the time, so its just the sketch.

Mr Harris
If youre wondering what the picture isin the header
its Richard Harris.
To an older generation he's A Man Called Horse
To some he's the Emperor from Gladiator
And to some he's Dumbledore from Harry Potter
To some he's one of the legendary hellraisers, along with Burton, O'Toole and Reed.
The cause of a thousand excellent drunken anecdotes.
If you can get legless, insult everyone, cause mayhem then
wake up in public next to some bins, yet have enough charm
to turn it to your advantage as some marvellous adventure, then eternal fame is yours it seems
This pics from the drunken glory days.
Its a beautiful picture. Its that louche i-see-no-problem attitude
of "Yes, officer, I travelled in the boot. Can I help you?

Waaaaareeorrrsss
Ever seen The Warriors. Some claim its a classic film of the 70s.
To me its way too much like the kids from Fame gone slightly feral.
Not a fan of the film, But there was a redesign competition on Millarworld, so I tried to redesign the Baseball furies.
Hmmm, so so

then i put a sketch of two of the cast. much better.

Best not ask
Mo' OLD STUFF pt4: Bad film, nice work (II)
Mo' OLD STUFF pt3: Bad film, nice work (I)
Alien Vs Predator. Shonky film but nice oppo to do that gag about movie monsters being incredibly posh and 'lovey dahling' actors.
Idea had been brewing for a while. Just needed the right film to come along.
The mock interview, in which they campily bitch at each other was a chance to use all the Round The Horne/Julian And Sandie training. Worryingly easy to write.
The tuxedo bodies are me. The faces not as much.
Advantage of doing it for a crap film, it can die on its arse and nobody notices. Film promotion people are happy just to get their awful product featured.

Mo' OLD STUFF Pt1: Why Pitt?
Looking through the old stuff on a harddrive.
The candid photo (and in no way doctored, oh no) shows the moment Angelina Jolie realised the inevitable. Those could be tears of joy?
However, for some reason she decided to cheat fate by going off with some actor bloke who has nothing more going for him than his talent, lots of money and being one of the best looking people on the planet.
Crazy. She'll come around I'm sure

EPIC MOVIE
Is 'Epic' french for crap?
Its stunning that for all the anti-piracy ads "You wouldnt steal a handbag" etc they show at the cinemas, this film gets through.
It is theft. Daylight robbery.
Spoofing 'serious' films like Harry Potter, X-Men, Narnia etc (okay, not serious but theyre not comedys) is fine. Fair target.
But this film and its predecessor Date Movie spoof comedy films.
I dont get it. Either the makers are idiots or they're just riding on someone elses material.
They watch other comedy acts and say "Nice joke, I'll take that". But in the case of a Character like Napoleon Dynamite or Borat, they just rip it off wholesale.
Having someone come in, dress like Borat and do Borat's catchphrases is ripping off Sacha Cohen's work.
Then theres trying to make fun of comedy characters.
80's TV was full of impressionists who did impressions of other comedy characters, repeated their jokes and built careers out of it. It was crap then and its crap now.
Stop piracy now. (There should be some techno industrial music around that. Just imagine it)

Can't Stand it, I know you Planned it...

You probably cant tell from the picture, but thats the Beastie Boys playing at Fort Canning.
Yet another 'To Do' item is crossed off the list. Life is good.
Things you cant tell from the photo.
They came on in Ska/Rude boy outfits
Mike D's (doing a handstand on keyboards) hair is real big. Hasslehoff style.
Theyre playing Sabotage.
Lots of white people shouldnt dance. Certainly not pretend theyre in some rap video while doing it.
Bad Dancing should be about laughing and falling over, not PDiddy impressions. Then again, he cant dance either.
I shall start dance-police to stop this scourge. It shall be stopped via either a friendly hand-on-the-shoulder quiet word in the ear to the preferable full-on baton charge and tear gas.
Me? I am, of course the greatest dancer. And I rock the dancefloor (or grass) everytime
Thats by the by.
The Beastie Boys in Singapore. Yes. Mile-wide smiles all round.
