The latest piece I’m working on is called “Snake Charmer”. It continues my pursuit to capture the spirit of my childhood idols, consisting mainly of Richard Corben, Frank Frazetta, Boris Vallejo, Moebius, Tanino Liberatore, and a slew of other artists featured in the first ten glorious years of Heavy Metal Magazine.
Space Dust and Phillipe Druillet
Who’s responsible for screwing up my mind? This guy! This guy right here! Well, to be fair, artist Philippe Druillet is only partially responsible. The magazine Heavy Metal introduced me to this talented Frenchman when I was a kid back in the late seventies. I’d ride my Team Mongoose to the local 7-11, pick up a Slurpee, a pack of orange Space Dust, and the latest copy of the twisted Heavy Metal.
