StrawFungi and Puppycorns

noreply@blogger.com (Joel Priddy) — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 19:11:00 +0000

From Lucian's True History, a description of The Army of the Sun:

Beside them were posted the Stalk-mushrooms, heavy infantry employed at close quarters, ten thousand in number. They had the name Stalk-mushrooms because they used mushrooms for shields and stalks of asparagus for spears. Near them stood the Puppycorns, who were sent him by the inhabitants of the Dog-star, five thousand dog-faced men who fight on the back of winged acorns.

We are the 99%...

Those dishonest alchemists are just the worst. The worst.

Scenes from a Comic

noreply@blogger.com (Joel Priddy) — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:17:00 +0000

The Adorable Progeny is now capable of long enough stretches of independent play that I was able to draw a one page strip in his presence, this weekend. This is very exciting for me.

The Woman in Red

noreply@blogger.com (Joel Priddy) — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 20:39:00 +0000

I drew this awhile ago as an unsolicited submission to Project Rooftop. I don't know if it was rejected or forgotten, or if no one could muster any enthusiasm for an obscure and ill-defined character, but I like the drawing, and so: POST!

The Woman in Red first appeared in March 1940's Thrilling Comics #2, and is, you know, a woman who wears a red.

There were a number of Golden Age women decked out in evening wear, masks, and guns, and only their color schemes to set them apart. But the Woman in Red appears to have been the first, and red is certainly the certainly the choicest color for derring do.

I love the look of evening wear as action-suit, but went for a more practical approach. And turned the gun into some kind of PEW-PEW-based super power.

And Bean boots, why not?

I drew this for the Adorable Progeny, who steadfastly refuses to be impressed by anything I draw. This piece fared no better than any of the others. The wings, apparently, are all wrong.

I sure do like Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor. It's a shame so few of his performances survive.

Amelia Earhart, Fearless Flyer

noreply@blogger.com (Joel Priddy) — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 03:22:00 +0000

I drew this for an upcoming collaboration between Project: Rooftop and my new favorite thing, The Thrilling Adventure Hour.

The depiction of Ms. Earhart is based more on Autumn Reeser, the actress performing her in the serial than on the historical personage. Sadly, I don't have a snapshot of her with this drawing the way Dean Trippe has one of John DiMaggio holding his.

More Fake Comics: Marvel Tales #1

noreply@blogger.com (Joel Priddy) — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 00:50:00 +0000

Continuing the ersatz fun, Jon Morris' DC Fifty-Too has turned its sights on Marvel. I love the Golden Age dynamic* between the Sub-Mariner and the original Human Torch. And so:

*Dynamic, meaning "Friends who punch each other an awful lot."

Pippi Vs. Pirate

noreply@blogger.com (Joel Priddy) — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 00:22:00 +0000

This isn't how I was supposed to spend my morning, but sometimes, you just have to draw Pippi Longstocking dueling with a pirate.

This was supposed to be an engaging element in a design I'm working on. But it wasn't.

I feel inordinately pleased...
