 Iceland Spar Icelandic Spirit Iceland Spar , the Icelandic medieval Sun Stone used by the Vikings on their ships to locate the direction of the Sun in dark, foggy and overcast skies. Hekla Hekla is an active volcano in the south of Iceland. During the Middle Ages the Icelandic Norse called the volcano the "Gateway to Hell' The artwork above represents an adventure into Hekla, Icelandic Spar and the Island of Alderney in the Channel Isles where I used to spend my early childhood years each Summer. I was being treated by my Homeopathic doctor with Hekla for a tumour at the time of the revelations that unloaded themselves as the painting above.  I no longer have the tumour. But my fascination and respect with minerals, crystals and the earth itself grows continuously.

Part Two  I saw Black Sabbath at  Birmingham Town Hall in around and about 1969 / 1970 It cost me ten shillings and sixpence . Thats not even a pound. The previous year I saw - at the Town Hall again - Led Zeppelin for the same price. I call that watching history in the making! Ozzy Osbourne Incoming!

B Movie, Pulp and SciFi 2006 - 2009 #1 Maxed media art this page. . . airbrush, pencils, acrylic paints, photography and 3d modelling Taking a look back at some earlier Brookswave sci-fi and B Movie projects. 2006 - 2009  Alan G. Brooks - Jay Brooks BROOKSWAVE #2                                                                                     Drone Footage - Tunnel Exploration - Dr Clockheart Series 2006 The story of Dr Clockheart is the story of the unrecognised  now. It is ironical that to tell a story of the N O W it is best addressed as a fictional tale of a somewhere, a someday, in the future perhaps. Surely the things that the artwork and story describe are not "going on" as we speak? Are they? I mean . . . that would be too much. An overload. Well, if poisoned ...

 True story this one.  It was 1967 and I had just been to the swimming baths. It was cold and typically English weather.  I was in Silver Street at the Fish and Chip shop. Getting some nosh to stave off the hunger that swimming had brought on. Also - fish and chips are much better after you've had a swim - and it's a bit of a ritual anyway. So, I bump into an old school friend out side the shop. He was a guitar player and getting involved in all of that. Guitars hadn't totally got me yet - but it was all around - and it was 1967 too! I wasn't prepared for the statement that unfolded next. My friend told me that Jimi Hendrix was here last week in this very road, York Rd. a few paces from where we were standing. This place had the Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Kinks, Pink Floyd - you name it - all flooding through its doors since 1963. All had played there and the building itself was no bigger than the average pub to squeeze everyone into. Those really were the days appare...

 Pearl of the Cobra Pilot / Navigator #1 / Page art Flying Ship Operatives - storyboard / animation design Title Card Page art - a retro sci fi noir adventure -  More animation plotting / plus graphic novel double page Medieval / Medi evil Ship crash-land - page art Two Worlds / Fight scene / page art. Some bits and pieces from Pearl of the Cobra developed with Jay Brooks back in Illinois. These pieces / pages and designs were all done in a multitude of ways. Jay did computer modeling . We both did photography and I did the majority of digital drawing and hand painting. We handed pieces back and forth to one another, cleaning up as we went along. Details of the Pearl of the Cobra and it's legend, mystery and supernatural abilities are documented here . It is up to you to decide if such a thing does indeed exist or not. Alan Brooks

Ever Onward . . .  Guard - Cloud Base - UNTOPIA - Ret Romanne - Comic One Continuing on from Part One  -  At top we see an armed guard from the Cloud Base Industrial Complex. This slum like city has become a prison, basically.  This was written in 2006 / 2007 - and military men on the street that enforced restrictions and compliance to government rule at gunpoint was a little extreme back then.  A little extreme inasmuch as it was very possible - but in reality - we never really thought we would be staring that situation in the face 14 or 15 years later, in this so called real life . The story was meant as a warning as to what might happen if we were not remaining vigilant.  We were always close to that situation - but there was always the belief somewhere that with a bit of luck it would never get to that level. Peace would prevail etc. Love would [as it is supposed to] -  Conquer All It didn't happen. Or as I should have said - It hasn't happened...

 Ret Romanne - [Retroman] Ret Romanne is from the United Nations Off World base of Utopia - or as those who reside there call it - UNTOPIA. A world of surveillance cameras, monitoring and investigation under the eyes of "Destinies Designed Corp."  Pat Riot, Operations Manager at the Corporation may have something to do with a fateful crash and Ret's demise both as a successful test pilot and as the partner of actress Glenda Swansong.  Ret thinks so.  Glenda was once a starlet in the making, but now works in the Diner at the end of the road where Ret [unbeknownst to Glenda] now lives. The couple fell apart after the crash. Now the world is rapidly falling apart with them as it spirals into more and more disastrous ways on its own course to  . . . who knows where!

 . . . what? MANSTROSITY! I said "R.4. - Dawn of the Vymme" . . . it's in part a retelling of the legend of King Arthur and his knights of the round table. It is a story to keep the legends and mythology of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales alive. It is also done with a steampunk, and cyberpunk "twist" if you like. The Dawn of the Vymme part is a tip of the hat to all the old fifties and sixties Hammer Horror type films, Outer Limits tv show and so on. R.4. - Dawn of the Vymme R.4. - Dawn of the Vymme.

 . . or, the horrors within! Anyway, so I had the opportunity to do some interior book illustrations. I seemed to be doing quite a number of those at that particular time, if I remember correctly. I decided to do them in very muted color - if color at all - as this seemed to make me concentrate more on the actual imagery itself.  Feeding Frenzy Mirror mirror on the wall . . . Basement bargain Dive bomber I can't say I am a fan of this kind of fiction. I enjoy the creative part of dreaming up fantastic [ hopefully ] imagery and the like - but that's about it.
