Brum, Brumbeat, Kings Heath #2

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! Kings Heath fly by #3 2024 / 2025   There is no wonder that they call Birmingham  the Home of Heavy Metal !

Retrovisiting #1 and #2

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.

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 ...

Pearl of the Cobra artworks

 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

R.4. - "Dawn of the Vymme"

 . . . 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. An Arthurian sci fi steampunk mash up! Now and then . . . retro future . . . or is there no future? . . . Time will tell. Ruination - ruined nation - from the ashes . . . R.4. approaches the Steam City Dawn of the Vymme - starring "ROYD" of Dr Clockheart fame. Who watches the watchers? Stay tuned for more insights into R.4. - Dawn of the Vymme -  A story from Alan Brooks Design.  Main artw...

Illustrations - [interior]

 . . 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.

Wot's been goin' on then?

this . . . Chrononaut Continuing to put various bits and pieces from Dr Clockheart up at the blog. Progress is slowly moving forward - but there is no desperate rush - as long as I get it right, that's the main thing. I remember the two old men [of the nine] that Disney referred to, saying that anyone could bring something in on a deadline. the question was, could they bring it in on time and have gotten it right! So, I now make it plain that the above comment  rings true in my world. I often say it - A Camel is a horse designed by a committee! - So if I'm the boss on projects - then that Camel MUST be avoided at all cost! T . . I . . . M . . . . E . . . . . !  Alan Brooks Design
