I love old EC horror comics - some fantastic stories and artwork, check them out if you haven't already! Anyway, I came across some Painter/Photoshop tutorials to illustrate and give an aged look to a comic cover, so I fancied giving it a whirl.
It's at the rough stage at the moment, and the aging effect isn't finished all the way round, but I like the way it's looking already, I hafta say! Some of the aged effects are painted on, some are scanned in from covers found on the net. Some nifty fonts really add some punch to the cover too, so I can't wait to see this finished.
I wasn't sure about the title 'Putrid Potboilers' at first, but it's grown on me now. It also needs other details like issue number, price, etc - anyway, more updates as it comes along! If it's successful there could be a whole series of them soon
Another greeting card gag - the style on this one is a little looser than before, and I think I prefer it. I have a font of my own which I haven't used on any of these yet (at the moment it's just my freehand writing) which I also prefer, so I'll get that baby installed soon and use it on future cards!

As promised more greeting cards! Another occassion this time, though most of my other ideas are simply gags with no particular date or event in mind.
I have about 30 or so ideas for Greeting Cards along this kinda vein, so with Valentine's Day fast approaching I thought it would be a good time to put this one up! I'm liking the simple layout and strong colours, which seems to work fine on all the other ones I've cleaned up so far.
