Listening to songs from my yoot…  On this “Throwback Thursday” I’m reminiscing about one of the more memorable concerts that I had ever been to as a youngin. Chicago. Mid 80’s. Riviera Theatre. The Cult (i believe the Divinyls were the opening band). I had just gotten into the Cult’s LOVE album (thanks Judy!) and was totally looking forward to this show. I remember the theme from A Clockwork Orange started booming on the speakers and a blinding wave of lasers shot into the crowd as the Cult hit the stage.  One of the more memorable starts to a show. Good times…  #Cult #facemelt #BigChicago #tbt #rememberwhen

To carry on yesterday’s Ghost Rider theme, today’s image is an exclusive “behind the line art” coloring process pic. It’s from an issue I worked on for Marvel about 2 years ago.  B&W lineart, then, the color rendering underneath, and finally the digital painting, with all the “special effects” added.
