Artist's Comments
Sometime around 2003 or so, I was asked by a writer if I'd like to draw the CAPTAIN SCARLET comic book. Not familiar with Captain Scarlet? Let's see if I can fill you in on some things....
Captain Scarlet is perhaps better known in Britain than in the States--it was one of Gerry Anderson's Super-Marionette tv shows in the '60s (along with THUNDERBIRDS and several others). I discovered CAPTAIN SCARLET on Saturday mornings in the early '90s, when it was being broadcast on the Sci-Fi Channel. The marionettes were far more realistically sculpted than those of other Anderson shows like STINGRAY and THUNDERBIRDS, and the show was considerably more violent. Ie: I loved it. heh. Captain Scarlet fights agains the diabolical Mysterons, who are in from the planet Mars. Thru a freak accident, Captain Scarlet becomes completely indestructible. He can't be killed by normal means--a handy power to have when fighting the nasty Mysterons, who kill their human victims and take over their bodies. Anyway, the deal sort of fail thru. The main honcho incharge wasn't sure I was right to draw the heroic exploits of the good Captain (even though the writer was convinced I was absolutely perfect for the job). Apparently, my work wasn't "edgy" enough, though he could never clarify what he meant by the term. Oh well, this piece of artwork did get drawn by me, and allowed me one evening drawing Britain's '60s tv sensation. Better than nothing, I suppose.  Loston |

I think it's a shame to waste your abilities. Someone's gonna notice and pick you up soon, Big Guy. Gonna happen. And I'll say, "I knew him when ... he used to chat with me on my DA page!" And they'll say, "YOU have a DA page?? What a waste of storage space!"

Nah, I don't think that's what he meant, dude. They were looking for a more realistic style like the Silver Age stuff, but the guy didn't know what he wanted. In the end, they didn't even produce a book, wasting thousands of dollars in licensing fees. The guy just had an articulation problem.
I think we know the answer there.
