WALK OF DEATH

GHOSTS & MUTANTS

MINNESOTA ICEMAN

One of the things that had spurred my love for monsters as a kid was the infamous "Minnesota Iceman". A purported 6ft tall bigfoot that was frozen in a block of ice, possibly shot in Vietnam during the war and then smuggled into the US, and then put on exhibit at various carnivals and fairs in the midwest.

As a kid in the late 70's I went with my folks to the Ohio State Fair and saw this thing. It was in a trailer where you paid a quarter and entered to see a "bigfoot in Ice" and the "world's smallest woman". The trailer itself was painted with the images of a hairy bigfoot-type man as well as a nude woman sitting in the palm of a man's hand. How could I pass this up? A BIGFOOT and a naked woman the size of my action figures! Oh yea!

I snuck away from my parents and went to this thing alone. I paid my quarter and entered the trailer. It was freezing as I looked down at a hairy Neanderthal creature frozen in a block of ice. It was so awesome to see this as a kid and it sparked a fascination in bigfoot and all crypto creatures from that day forward. The next part of the trailer was equally as scary as the nude woman I had hoped to see was really a 2ft tall elderly woman with malformed limbs sitting on a pillow and smoking a cigar. She looked me in the eye and it scared me to death.

You can find info on the Minnesota Iceman all over the web with varying tales of its origin and it's authenticity. Wether it was fake or not this thing scared the heck out of me and opened my eyes to the possibility of "real" monsters. State fairs are the best!

I always wanted to do a Batman comic where Gotham had a nuclear meltdown and everyone became a deformed mutant. Not sure why but it seems like it would be a lot of fun to do.

Since this is the dynamic duo I might as well submit the piece as a duo and include a mocked up comic cover.

Got a chance to doodle last night while watching some sci-fi channel movies. I've really just been wanting to draw a gooey zombie and was happy to get some time to sit and do it. I've still been on this blue/red kick lately but pretty happy how this turned out.

Also added this one as a print on DeviantArt. CLICK HERE!

FACELESS JOE & THE SWAMP WITCH

Finally got a chance to draw after filming a car chase in the desert the past couple weekends. Just a fun piece to try out a color palette I've been wanting to use for some time.

POOH DVD IN STORES

The DVD I directed for Disney, "Winnie the Pooh and a Musical Too", hit stores this week. This is a musical based off "My friends Tigger & Pooh" which I have been working on for the past year or more. I am really proud of this, especially the Tigger "bouncing" song, and all the musical numbers. Yea, I know, it's not monsters nor has it any chainsaw scenes, but I think it came out pretty good. If you have kids then please check it out, I think they will like it a lot.

Here is a link to it on Amazon... LINK
