HE-MAN Canvas for Sale - get Bidding!

Last weekend The Dead Sea Mob descended on Camden for some Live Drawing Nostalgia and drinking in Cmaden. I was joined on-stage by Tom J Noodle, Double Dan Mumford, Mr Massive Gauky and Dangerous Doyle Raw Meat.
The Show was called 'I Don't Wanna Grow Up' and it was based on the 80's so I obviously did the awesome He-Man and his bit on the side The Sorceress.

The painting was portraying them post sexy argument, nothing sexier than a girl crying...

So get on ebay and get bidding, it is a must for any 80's grown up kid!

RIP Ralph McQuarrie

I must say I had only really seen glimpses of Ralph McQuarrie's concept work for the original Star Wars but since his sad passing last week. But since, I have been blown away by the amazingness of his huge body of work. The guy was clearly a visionary. 

Ralph McQuarrie 

(1929 - 2012)

"I am deeply saddened by the passing of such a visionary artist and such a humble man. Ralph McQuarrie was the first person I hired to help me envision Star Wars. His genial contribution, in the form of unequaled production paintings, propelled and inspired all of the cast and crew of the original Star Wars trilogy. When words could not convey my ideas, I could always point to one of Ralph's fabulous illustrations and say, 'Do it like this.'

"Beyond the movies, his artwork has inspired at least two generations of younger artists—all of whom learned through Ralph that movies are designed. Like me, they were thrilled by his keen eye and creative imagination, which always brought concepts to their most ideal plateau. In many ways, he was a generous father to a conceptual art revolution that was born of his artwork, and which seized the imaginations of thousands and propelled them into the film industry. In that way, we will all be benefiting from his oeuvre for generations to come. Beyond that, I will always remember him as a kind and patient, and wonderfully talented, friend and collaborator."

—George Lucas
