1995 Calendar: January


Most of the illustrations in the 1995 calendar featured characters from Misspent Youths. At the time I was thinking of reviving the series as a self published comic that I intended to call Bonecage Graffiti. Aunt Hortense and the Lizards were going to be part of the ensemble cast of the comic.

But in 1995 Nizzibet and I began our plans for world domination and Bonecage Graffiti became one of the serials in the first version of Glyph.

The human characters on the page are Black Molly (in black), Lili Veracruz (in plaid) and Sequoia St. Jude O’Hare (in the hat).

Early Black Molly


This painting is out of the same watercolor pad as the four figure drawings just posted so it’s from 1992 as well. It’s a very early version of my Black Molly character.

Yeah, those figure drawing classes really made a difference. This isn’t a perfect piece but it’s world more “real” than anything I’d been doing the year previously.

A Little Crowd

A faceless thing with a lot of teeth
Black Molly in her not Black Molly state

The rest of the page –
A sad bastard
Maybe Molly again, still not being Molly
The faceless thing, very sketchy version
