Gerry Anderson (1929-2012)

I have just heard the news that Gerry Anderson sadly passed away today, at the age of 83. 

For those of you that don't know, Gerry Anderson was the creator of shows like Thunderbirds, Stingray and Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. I used to love these shows as a kid (and adult). The effects in them were terrific.

Gerry Anderson's company, Supermarionation, also provided the explosions for several James Bond films.

When I was younger I used to watch my Dad's Captain Scarlet tapes all the time and I loved it! So much I made a homemade Captain Scarlet costume. 

The shows were always fun and adventurous, which is pretty much what my work is about.

Hope you like the new Banner!

For the New Year I have decided to sort my blog out. I want this blog to be my central hub, keeping it pretty much the same. In the New Year I hope to branch out with other blogs, which will be online comics. That's what I would like anyway.

'Tis the Season

I was going to wait until Christmas Day, but nobody does anyhting on Christmas Day so here is my yuletide post. 

Here's wishing everyone a Happy Holiday: 

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Kool Kwanza, Fantastic Festivus and a... err... Super Solstice(?). 

From The Weird and The Wonderful have a great start to the New Year and enjoy the holiday.

Dracula

I know what you are thinking. 'Dracula? Again?!' Well, yeah, but this time it's the cover. See I can be original.
