Special Kind of Trouble

I came across this little piece of odd americana the other day, I thought that it had been lost over various house moves across the country, but there it was slumbering flatly at the bottom of a draw, almost arthurian in manner, waiting for its time.

'It happened to Alice' was a small comic produced by Archie Entreprises in the 80's and was used by the American AA (there is an address for Grand Central Station in the back). I have no idea how I came to own this and its brother but it is a fascinatingly moral slice of trash.

Oh, and remember it could happed to ANY woman, even the one next door with 7 kids.

don't you throw those bloody spears

Here's a very 30 minute rendering of mr. caine, still not sure about this bloody wacom though.

Playing Card Pin Up

I've been trying for a long time now to get used to digital painting. I much prefer having a pencil of a paintbrush in my hand and all of the unpredictability that real life brings. But some digital paintings look so good and I want a piece of it so I did this, but why does it feel a little bit like cheating?
I'm still not sure if I like the results but it's always another tool to use.
