United colors of Gremlins

For a while I 've been thinking about doing a lot of Gremlins in all kinds of kooky shapes and colors. I think I've spent about 3 weekends trying to come out with crazy looking characters but I'm sad to say I have just not ben inspired lately, so I decided to do a few color variations so I can use them on the characters when they're done.

I posted this one on my Facebook and a fellow Graphic Designer gave me a hard time for using the word "Yellow-ish", so I decided to leave it exactly like that--I think he should be thankful I didn't call the one on the top right corner "Orangey".

Spacin' out

For this piece, I wanted to create a character from a 60's style, fictitious Saturday morning cartoon show. Lordo is the second in command of an explorer spaceship; he has the head of a mushroom -and smells like one, too. Lordo is the brains of a crew that hardly ever follows his instructions,

This webcomic project has been dormant for quite a while but I hope to go back to it soon.

Backgrounds

Although I don't usually advertise my background design skills, I thought I'd do it this time around since I've recently worked on more than a few.
Thank you, City Rythm Creative for the opportunity. See you guys real soon!





The Pixel Creatures bunch

Mutant Venus Flytrap

As a monster-loving child growing up in the 80's, I found Little Shop of Horrors a wonderful source of inspiration. It's been a long time and I still do. There were so many things about that movie that made an impression in my work. The music, the characters (who can forget Steve Martin's interpretation of "Dentist!"?) and of course, good ol' Audrey II.

Space Cadet


(sigh) Yup, I know... dream on, kiddo....
Ok the first one who guesses which Sci Fi hero used to own this ray gun will get a Cocomalt premium. My treat.

Stretch Armstrong

One of the coolest toys of the 70's. -I wasn't there yet, but that's what I've been told.

Flat Top Jones

Here's one of the best characters from Dick Tracy's rogue gallery: Flat Top. Although the movie was not true to the cannon, I still get a kick out of it every time I watch it. I loved the photography and make-up... plus it takes me back to my childhood.
What else can I say?

Bugs from outer space.

Yet another one of my collectible gum cards. This is a character from a Sci-Fi web comic that will hopefully see the light of day in the near future.

Enjoy!

Ahhh the 50's...

MEET KEN ORBITRON

Everyone that knows me, knows I'm a sucker for Old Time Radio Shows and all those good ol' Sci-Fi pulps. I don't know about you but for me, the cheesier those stories are, the more I get hooked on 'em.
So not long ago, I decided to create my very own retro-style Sci-Fi action hero.
So ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, it is my pleasure to introduce KEN (Ken, ken, ken..) ORBITRON! (Tron, tron, tron...)

GROOVY, BABY


With my apologies to the DC Universe, here's my own version of one the hottest comic book characters ever brought to life: Yvonne Craig as BATGIRL.
I used to watch reruns of the 60's Batman TV show when I was a kid and this chick really made an impression on me. (sigh)

P.S. Yes, I'm a big geek.
