LON CHANEY - The WOLF MAN (as a quadrupedal )

This here is the month that my birthday falls in!

Happy B day to me!

As a treat I have been allowed more access to the computer, so expect more postings here than usual, however with that expectation you'll be getting more quantity and not quality.

As can be witnessed in the offering below,  rather than a finished piece its a snapshot of  my sketching pages and a rubbish background.

My sketch pad placed on a wooden blue

THE MUMMY"S GHOST POST

Please note : caption under wraps. 

  

 Old black and white movies with prints that seem grainy,
 Hunched over postures and with Lon Chaney starring,
 Universal Monsters on brown paper wrappings.....these are a few of my favourite things.

LONDON BEFORE MIDNIGHT

LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT a 1927  long lost movie and the chances are that its never to be seen again so I propose that the studios remake it with someRick Baker prosthetic make up on a Lon Chaney lookalike covered in CGI glitter , a bit of the old with a dash of the new, Oh and then re-title it LONDON AFTER TWILIGHT of course, what do you think?

DISPOSABLE ART

Don't step on that paper bag, it might be Lon Chaney!

Sometimes I pimp up scrappy tatty remnants of paper before they're consigned to landfill sites or recycling plant, its kinder I figure to send a page with a doodle and drawing to the next stage in its life than without it having properly served a use.
 So envelopes , bits of paper and cardboard often get decorated by me for no real purpose -  heres one I did today.


Oddly enough shortly after binning this I came across a news story which read as follows...


Snowy Moutains , by the acclaimed Chinese artist Cui Ruzhou sold at the Grand Hyatt hotel in Wan Chai area of Hong Kong for $3.7 million.
            The artwork was reported missing a day later by the auction house fearing it had been stolen.
However, CCTV recordings studied by the police showed a security guard kicking the wrapped-up painting towards a pile of rubbish, apparently thinking it was litter.
            The rubbish was taken to a landfill site in the city of Tuen Mun. Police searched the site but found no trace of the painting. The identity of the buyer as not been revealed.
            The Grand Hyatt group said it would not take responsibility for the loss. 

Its left me thinking that those boys that clear our refuse away must have some interestingly decorated walls!
