Last night at Comics Night Kevin H. was telling us about a book he recently read and how it contained passages about the supposed 19th century of practices of using recently unearthed (and incinerated) mummy corpses to fuel trains, as well as using their unspooled linen bandages to print newspapers on. Those assertions are pretty much bogus but it was still fun to make mummy drawings.
Okay. I liked Kevin's post awhile back where he caught up with all the missed themes, so here I am doing the same thing, sort of. I think they are all here, even the one I actually drew at the time. Can you spot them all? Excelsior!
Here are my two approaches to the Thing. First, the early, lumpy, rock version (he's very emo) and then a more fun (but still grim) cartoony version. Both done with brush pens. I love my Faber-Castell PITT Pens!
Orange Sharpie, green Faber-Castell PITT marker, black Motec brush pen, Presto! white-out pen, on Bristol. 14" x 7" I wish I would've figured out a way to get Q*Bert's feet in there. At least one of them, punching the gas pedal through the cubic floorboards?
