Carrying a grudge!? Even early on you could see where this maniac's sense of humour was coming from. ;)

I love seeing how artists style evolved, particularly JB's work. Thanks for sharing, William.

Those of you with sharp eyes may notice that some of the characters in those ancient drawings are sporting upon their uniforms a DU monogram. They come from a science fiction strip I concocted when I was about 18 or so, title. . . DANGER UNLIMITED. The circular "Time Breaker" ship is from the same strip.

Most of these drawing were done when I still didn't have a clue, of course. The inking is all Rapidograph pen, for instance. Notice the labor-intensive filling in of large black areas! No quick swipes of a brush, there!

In fact, when I started at the Alberta College of Art, a few years after most of these drawings were done, I was utterly bewildered when the drawing instructor started talking about using brushes. Come on! You PAINT with a brush, you DRAW with a pen!!
