The Imaginer Imaginates

3/14/'07 / moonbug

Hugo. He’s got loads of money but somehow that’s not satisfying anymore. Smokes a pipe. Probably had a rough midlife crisis. Lolita fetish residue.

Maximo. He’s not at all wealthy, but likes to appear stylish and “on top of things”. Takes pride in displaying his square jaw line. Needs a haircut. An amoral bon-vivant with a penchant for opera — Maria Callas is known to move him to tears.

Eddy. A very unhealthy mix of sarcasm and charisma. He’s currently on page four of I Ching For Dummies, but finds the Kamasutra inexplicably more compelling.

Imagination is so much more fun than the real world. :-)

Bowling Alley Guy

2/23/'07 / moonbug

Just a quick sketch. This guy’s the owner of a nearby bowling alley. Whenever we go there to play a game or have a drink, he has this irritating habit of ending every sentence with my name. It’ll invariably go something like this:

– Hi, I’d like a beer please.
– Ah, a beer coming right up, Jurgen.
– Thanks. How much is that?
– One euro, Jurgen.
– Here you go.
– Thanks Jurgen!
– Oh, and do you have a lane free to play?
– Yes Jurgen! Is lane eight okay Jurgen?
– Sure, no problem.
– Right Jurgen. So. Can you tell me your names then, Jurgen?

Seriously! What’s up with that?

Ah, Milo Manara — behold the steadiness of that hand! The perfect line in one single stroke! Color me envious… (youtube)

“Is this how you feel today?“, she asked.

The Tom Waits Bio: All 12 Illustrations

12/30/'06 / moonbug

I just sent off all 12 “final” illustrations for the Tom Waits biography to the publisher. Gaby and I hadn’t looked at them for a while, and seeing them again now I must say we’re both rather pleased with the results. Below you’ll find thumbnails which, when clicked, will reveal the full collage. We’re interested to know what you think about them — and oh yes: signed and numbered high res prints on luxurious heavy-weight paper are for sale!
Without, as they say, further ado (click pics for full view):
