Horror class of the 1980s
I was commissioned for a pop culture horror piece for the delightful @missgiggly who’s blog you can check out at http://www.pop-couture.com/.
I wanted to go for a wholesome college, clothing line pose but substituting iconic horror icons of the 80s:
So who can name them all?

So the votes are finally in and tallied. We have the three pop culture vehicles that will be featured in the follow up to the most awesome garage in the world illustration.
- The van from The A-Team
- The Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo
- KITT from Knight Rider
I was not so secretly hoping that the Light Bike from Tron would get a look in but it wasn’t meant to be and I am of course completely impartial for this particular piece. Because of the types of vehicles chosen I have to rethink the layout because it won’t work the same as the first one. I’ve got some good ideas though.
I expect to get the piece done sometime in the next three weeks, I’ve got a couple of weeks off work and I’ve got two other main projects on at the moment in addition to the Midnight Movie Club, Abe Decker and of course Quit Your Day Job.
The first one feels similar to “awesome garage” in that it deals with pop culture nostalgia and I expect it to show up as a limited edition print over on my Etsy store:
The other that I’ve been engaged for is a two part series titled kitchen ninja and below is the essentially drawn on a cocktail napkin thumb sketch for one half:
So what projects have you guys got up your sleeves for the Christmas break?
Well I wasn’t going to podcast this weekend but then it felt weird not to, so it’s just me flying solo for fortunately nowhere near as long as they usually go!
Listen to the podcast as I reveal deep dark childhood fears, cast aspersions on Andrew as I make claims that his copy of Summer School was a pirated copy (it wasn’t I’ve since remembered, I think) and let you in on some of the new weekly posts that are coming to Quit Your Day Job!
Plus one TMNT 2 reference (for those playing TMNT 2 bingo at home).

In case anyone is interested the website Badmovies.org has an entry on the film Spaceship, it includes the song I want to eat your face, the horror…
