Here’s two pages of preparatory drawings to whet your appetite for an all new story featuring our character Lady Backenforth – she’s the Lord of the Manor – and her battles with the pesky locals of the town Slackdale.
Coming soon to Bagnall and Bartle’s Bugle Summer Special.
In the meantime, you can read Lady B’s debut appearance in the first issue of The Bugle, Slackdale’s super comic for grown up boys and girls, available now in John Bagnall’s Etsy shop.
On returning from our recent travels, we were delighted to discover a plug for the House of Harley shop and our Mesdames of the Marker Pen series of pin-up art books in the latest issue of Voodoo Baby.
Voodoo Baby is a glossy and colourful UK-produced magazine for enthusiasts of trash culture and well-endowed women.
Issue 8 is packed with a typically diverse range of features:
profiles of monster makeup genius Jack Pierce (Frankenstein, The Wolfman), horror screenwriter Joel Ferrari, Metropolis actress Brigitte Helm and Russ-Meyer-muse Kitten Natividad
reviews of movies new and old including Explorer from Another World, Dracula’s Daughter, Diary of a Madman, Elfie and The Dark Eyes of London
tip-offs about interesting YouTube channels
random weird and wonderful facts from around the world
plus gleefully gratuitous photos of Welsh porn star Lorna Morgan and other pin-ups of the past.
All eight issues are currently available in the VoodooBabyZines Etsy store and you can follow the editor Phil Neill on X at @VOODOOBABY8. Check ’em out.
And you can buy the first three Mesdames individually or as a bundle in the Art Book section of the House of Harley shop. And look out for issue 4 coming soon.
Rapid gesture drawings in pencil, inspired by the action-packed Instagram feed of model, actress and photographer Clare Gillies aka inouicg.
Here’s the full A4 page of drawings… if you’d like to purchase it, make me an offer.
