As Vamporama Films starts to gear up for some new projects & activity, I wanted to revisit last year’s creepy short, Monsters.
The finished film is basically a monologue—performed brilliantly by Liam Woon!—but originally we were going to add some filmed inserts. Here we have my storyboards for some of those inserts.
Well, seeing as how a rather diminutive version of the Great One has appeared in some of my art (such as the previous post!)—I thought I ought to try and do a pic of Cthulhu where he looks a bit more awesome… a bit more like he might just be standing 200 feet high!
So, here you are.

Well, in theory… as the comic is more or less an imaginary one!
In fact, this image is a reprise of a piece from 2016…

Have been working on some new Club Vamporama—an initial run of five pages. Some of this stuff has been scripted for quite a while!
Yes, the star of Club Vamporama! I’m calling it 2019 because I wanted to revisit a piece I did back in February 2011. I liked the concept, but the execution was really quite poor—at the time a few people were positive about it, but one lispy-voiced person was quite critical… and basically they were right, whatever their motives. It was very amateurish indeed.
Here, for better or worse, a two-page tribute to (or satire of; you decide) big monsters and toxic masculinity… and Richard Corben, of course. Now, me, I’m not one for “violence” per se, but in this case, as The Stath might say: “OI! Come and ‘ave some, you FAKKER!!”
(Hobbs & Shaw looks like fun.)
It took a good few months to get around to inking this thing, but I finally did!
It’s true… I struggle to update this blog regularly and have for the last decade, really. (I have a large archive of “legacy blog” postings, not currently online, which was a mixture of personal and work—going back to the year 2000!) Partly it’s because social media put a real dent in blogs—regrettably, for me, as I have always disliked so-called social media… and only real popular blogs have weathered the storm somewhat unscathed. So it’s a major disincentive to bother with a blog when you know no one bothers looking at it unless you personally prod them into doing so!
And life itself—the complications, the distractions, the tragedies, the endless quest for income and stability… it’s heavy. Who needs to blog about that or prioritise blogging to a silent or non-existent audience instead of focusing on important stuff?!
