Continuing . . .
. . . I showed some edited highlights from the Flying Saucer project
Jay Brooks and I worked on back in 2006 / 2007. I have taken the color out of the pieces so that they ring more true to the 1950's B movie and Sci Fi tv fodder of the day back then. The likes of the Outer limits, Twilight Zone - and children shows shows such as Fireball XL5 and Space Patrol all had an impact. That show with its black and white imagery, robots and strange characters might just have been directed by David Lynch as far as I am concerned. Way ahead of it's time and equally as spooky!

These pieces and the
previous post have artwork that was allowing us to experiment with how my own stories might develop in a retro future way.
The Doctor Clockheart story and artwork have a retro future look that echoes some of the experimentation that was tried out in some of the Flying Saucer project and art.

The above page is one of my favorites. Very manic with is fleets of saucers and bubble dome hangar roof.

Luckily they gave us plenty of things to blow up in this story. That is just as well as I particularly enjoy doing that.

This will most likely conclude a look at the Flying Saucers project from way back. Some interesting pieces that were pulled out from a mess of things that were certainly hit and miss.
Onwards and Upwards
