Sgt Rock, Exxon Ceo,Autumn girl and Aliens...WAR!

just some various images for you...

i was recently asked for some political/editorial samples, and i decided to do a portrait/caricature of Lee Raymond, who was the head of Exxon during the infamous Valdez disaster. let me know your thoughts (yah or nah) and i'll post the other ones as i do them.



now, over at the Drawing Board, the theme for this months Jam is "War is Hell". so i've been thinking about what i was going to do to contribute, and immediately two things popped into my head:

the first, is that the great Gregory Peck would have made an awesome Sgt. Rock. now, if you don't know who that is...then please do a google on the Sarge and the veteran comic book artist Joe Kubert and you'll see what i mean. i picked up the latest Showcase for inspiration also, and i've gotta say...man that Kubert can draw! anyway, here's my Peck-ish Sgt. Rock --



the second image is for Aliens, the great war movie sequel that James Cameron made in1986. i saw this in Canada when i was 18, and it thrilled me and scared the crap out of me at the same time. hope i did it at least a tiny bit of justice:-)



lastly, here's another Autumn Iga (gotta sneak in a girl somewhere, don't i)?

My first thought is more men and less naked women ;)

Loving Lee Raymomd though he does seem to have strange colour jowls around his chin compared with the colour of his forehead.

Lovely stuff as always
