LET ME BE FRANK....

FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER,
  now really, what is cooler than that and what really makes a better illustration? When we were growing up , me and my brother loved all the old Universal Monster Films and all the great Hammer Films as well, i think two of the best actors ever are Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. But i think my all time favorite monster movie is Frankenstein. The image of Frankenstein's Monster is something i've always loved, whether it was comic books, movies, cartoons and especially Halloween decorations. Below is one of the coolest illustrations ever of Frankenstein's Monster drawn by my brother, Lyndal Ferguson, creator of Doctor Bang......

Below is an illustration i did of Frankenstein's Monster, called the Green Terror.....

Run for your lives, "It's Alive!!!", it's my take on the iconic monster. behold the Green Terror as the Frankenstein Monster comes lurking from the woods to terrorize your small town.

“The Seductive Dance of the Medusa”

      In this blog i wanted to post an idea i had for a short story, i've always wanted to write

a novel or something about ancient Greece, i know i would need a good proof reader and

editor but i just wanted to throw out this rough idea for a short story about one of my fav

topics, the Medusa. In my version i went for a more sexy look for her.......

                                                                                

   “The Seductive Dance of the Medusa”

  In this small secluded olive grove, surrounded by the Hot Gates,

a sultry silhouette is outlined in the moonlight, her body swaying to an

eerie hymn of pipe flutes and hissing snakes. Her ample bosom and

full hips dancing hypnotically in the crisp greek night air. The acolytes

of the Medusa surrounded her in a semi circle as she calls on the gods to

fulfill her destiny, for in this dark, wet ground, a new army shall arise....

  For it is well known the gaze of the Medusa can turn any living creature

into cold, unmoving stone, but there is also a dark secret known only to the

Medusa cult that her very same gaze can also turn the dead into living,

moving stone.

  Suddenly the very ground began to tremble and shake, huge clouds of

smoke and hot steam hissed from the opening cracks, then all as one,

crawling forth from the very pass in which they died, an unholy army of greek

hoplites arose from their graves. Their bronze armor, shields, even their very

skin, now cold, unbreakable stone. Before the Medusa, now stands 300 stone

spartans, an unbeatable hellish army of death, the Medusa their only

master now......”My, my, my, what fun I shall have with my new playthings,

for now all of greece shall tremble before my new army of stone and I

shall have my revenge”, laughing hysterically the stitches around her neck

twitching, her reattached head not yet fully healed.

 Slowly the undead greek phalanx marches down from the the pass of

Thermopylae and into lower Greece, bathed in the laughter of the gorgon.

Recent digital design of the Medusa by Earl Ferguson

 In Greek mythology, Medusa ,"guardian, protectress" was a gorgon, a chthonic female monster; gazing directly upon her would turn onlookers to stone. She was beheaded by the hero Perseus, who thereafter used her head as a weapon until giving it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield.

WOW, as i kid i remember watching the Medusa in the original version of "Clash of the Titans". I believe that's what got me started on my love of mythology and the ancient history of greece, the Medusa has been portrayed in numerous movies over the years, one of my other favorite versions of the Medusa was in "Medusa vs the Son of Hercules". In this version she is portrayed more like a huge alien with tentacles, pretty cool stuff.

                                                   

                                                 "Medusa vs the Son of Hercules"

Uma Thurman did an awesome job as the Medusa in the movie, Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010)

One of coolest versions is in the 1964 Hammer Film, The Gorgon.  In the early 20th century, a Gorgon takes human form and terrorizes a small European village by turning its citizens to stone.

"Gaze upon the eyes of the Gorgon". This print was inspired by the Medusa portrayed

in the movie, "Clash of the Titans".  I really enjoyed the newest version of "Clash of the Titans" al-

though i didn't think the newer cgi version was nearly as creepy as the one from my childhood.

In my imagekind store i have quite a few prints inspired from ancient greece, so if you ever have

some free time, please pop in and check em out

DOCTOR BANG

  In this blog post i wanted to talk about one of the best artists working in comics right now, my brother, Lyndal Ferguson and his very own superhero creation, Doctor Bang. Over the years
Lyndal has worked for numerous publications such as Heavy Metal, Revolutionary Comics,
Rip Off Press, Virus Comix, Black Cat 13, Girls and Corpses, Heavy Metal Monsters and tons
of others.
 His vivid imagination and use of color pencils are on a whole different level, and when it comes
to the "cool" factor, every inch of his illustrations are small slices of pop art heaven. His style
is truly original in every sense of the word. He is so far ahead of the curve it may be years before his work is truly appreciated the way it should be. I'm one of his biggest fans, and if hollywood
has already sucked the comicbook world dry, his stuff could fill a movie screen with such imagination and wonders that would make other hero films seem as dry as wallpaper.
 

 

DOCTOR BANG , the Head Hunter From Hell , and his graveyard groupie , DEAD BABY , returns in BLOKE'S TOMB OF HORROR # 666 to take on the world's sickest , sexiest serial killer NURSE HATCHET !!! ( VIRUS COMIX ) — with Mary Madcox.

 

Here is the link to Lyndal's facebook page, friend him, you can even poke him but check out
all his wonderful work...

I guess every artist has certain things they don't enjoy drawing, for me it was always cars, i had more fun drawing superheros and portraits. Don't get me wrong, i've always loved muscle cars and junk, my first car was a mustang, it's just i never really liked drawing em. Being involved in screenprinting over the years though, alot of people wanted their race cars and stuff printed on shirts. And i do have to admit some of my best designs have been old hot rods and race cars. So, if you have any certain things you don't really enjoy drawing, take it from me, try it anyway and you just might realize anything can be fun to draw if you just put forth your best effort
