My Version of Pretty Things Bootleg Phillipe De Barge where the Things recorded with a french aristocrat I thought I'll use Prince Phillip as inspiration for this one 

 The Electric Thangs formally known as The Electric Things 1969 classic Let it Heal

 No Idea what Nimen is ? A.I been a  random cake maker -but it happens  to be the day of my birth - but according to my friend it's also Rapture day hopefully I'll exceed the 19358.2 days I've been alotted so far

Judge Dredd Fanart Colouring Project -"Judge Whitey"

 

 Art by Carlos Ezquerra with my colour

The first Published Judge Dredd story now in JohnOVision colour " Judge Whitey" from Febuary 1977 in 2000ad prog 2:  Story Peter Harris and Pat Mills,Kelvin Gosnell Art Mike McMahon. Letters McGowan.

 

 So Great they even predicted Bez from the Happy Mondays who dwells on Devils Island in 2099

I'll colour a few more early episodes sometime in the future -I need to get Mega City savvy by the time I complete colouring The Cursed Earth and Anderson is good excercise for Judge Cal  which is Mega City One based story so I'll know what I'm doing by then.  I wonder about why Whitey hates Dredd so much maybe they have history?  something I may explore in my own story "The Book of the Judges" if I can jumpstart myself to write and paint it.

Hypsville 365ad Playlist Update 15-( + holiday snaps)

 Been a wee while since I updated tracks on playlist (been colouring more lately can't wait to show new stuff -theres a fair bit of it including Grant Morrison and Steve Yeowells Zenith , Judge Dredd -Judge Whitey, Star Wars -Resserection of Evil, The Sarge in Italy, Johnny Red episode 3, Charleys War , Judge Anderson plus a few Mike McMahon  star scans (to mention a few ) but maybe this ai music thing isn't as vital to me  as what it was in first half of the year, this sounds nowt like the Byrds but it's a good Electro Garage longplayer.

 Oh No (1970) by the Silver Ramons - the five original silver beatles from another dimenson  with there third LP already of the decade -released on the same day is sister album by bands wifes and other halfs The Oh No's

 

Second LP by Zinc Doodlebug the mutant offshot of the Yardbrushes 

 

The Finks on there Hols which brings me nicely around to this time last week   when I hooked up with Captain Mainwearing

 Couldn't go on holiday for a long time(last time was over 10 years ago)  as I gotta look after my mum 24/7 so I had just  two days off so had to brainstorm where I could go and settled on Thetford(which I call Fettford) as that's where they filmed Dad's Army and I live by the seaside anyway so wanted to go somewhere quiet and Dads Army like

 Outside Dad's Army museum - I went on a Tuseday it  wasn't open sadly.

 It would be cool to add statues of other members of the home guard around the town maybe have Jonesy by his butchers for example

 

 

 "Don't Panic!" 

" Doomed! We're Doomed!"

Thetford is also home of Mr Common Sense and Revolutionary Spirit Thomas Paine

 

 Also got to hang with my homeboy from darkest Peru when I was in Norwich

 Good to see Pad's got regular work on Spitting Image

The Cursed Earth Fanart Colouring Project -Chapter 3 " The Devils Lapdogs"

 

 The Cursed Earth Chapter 3 "The Devils Lapdogs"Story By Pat Mills Art by Mike McMahon Letters by  Ro Bot (could be Tom Frame or Peter Knight  under another obvious pseudonym name) from the pages of 2000ad back in May 1978 (so I was 5 when this came out)  -it's such fun returning to these stories , May write my own soon set in the Cursed Earth against the backdrop of the second American civil war between Mega City One and Texas City in 2083 

Been a good while since I posted any of my colouring -the start of 2024 was last time in fact , just been sidetracked  by life and discouraged by time  -but for now I 'll just post these here and build up my work over time , I'll chug along here posting for the while I have.

 

 The Cursed Earth was drawn mainly by Mike with alternating episodes drawn by Brian Bolland  but a mammoth task  if you thought this episode was insane  it gets wilder with each episode. The Mike McMahon  Judge Dredd Apex Edition art book (you'd need an extra large bookcase for this one)

 

Fallout 4-Season 5 Playlist (Continued)

This playlist came to a sudden halt once I got started on my Fallout London playthrough last year -it's a nod to the wonderful T.V series in case you haven't seen the prior videos.. guess this will be the penultimate season though as  I'm running out of videos ..hopefully I'll figure out a grande finale that makes sense.   A couple of stills I took
