one for the road

These are frames for the TARZAN II storyboard.
Some are based on the work-in-progress storyboards.
I was working in London...The story guys were elsewhere...So my apologies to them: I never knew whose work I was messing with.

sol/luna

















Sigmund Freud, whose poetic sensibility is not widely recognised, once said that all men feel nostalgia for the sun.

















Back to the Sun.





















The Golem.

3 black and white concepts for the Czech fable.

One of the best modern versions is by Primo Levi, who did time in the death camps.

hasta la proxima









I will be posting much less in the coming weeks.
Holidays in Limbololand have come to an end and I have to go to earn my bread and butter.
I will be dropping in from time to time.
Many, many thanks to everyone for your generous remarks and your interest.

the heretic king 4








One for Canada.

Somewhere out in the woods I lost track of my good buddy, Greg Hill...Hope he made it back to the cabin.

Yes, it's real paint.

Thorgal, child of the Stars













3 concepts for
'Thorgal, Enfant des Etoiles'.

A proposed TV series for
France 2/M.D.I. Productions. Paris.

Based on the B.D. series by Rozinski and Van Hamme.

Thorgal didn't make it onto the TV screen but the visual development process was an important experiment for me and I remain indebted to Alain Majani at M.D.I. for giving me the opportunity to work on it at length.
