Evil Ed

This is a drawing of actor Stephen Geoffreys from the 1985 movie Fright Night.  I watched this last night, and there are some great performances in it.  Geoffreys plays a character named Evil Ed, and I'm not sure that his performance is "great," but it's certainly unforgettable.  Mrs. Plop Blop found this tidbit about him in his imdb bio:  " In a startling and unexpected career move, Geoffreys wound up acting in numerous gay hardcore porno pictures under the pseudonyms Sam Ritter and Stephan Bordeaux."  Seems like an interesting guy.

Plane Smash

I used to have a recurring dream, many nights, that involved a plane crashing near me.  I was never on the plane, just always close to the crash, sometimes running toward it and sometimes running away from it.  Sometimes, I was even helping pull out the victims.  It was usually in a field or in a residential area with lots of suburban houses.  I don't have the dream anymore.  I'm going to take that as a good sign.

Jack Rabbit Slim

I finished reading The Plague and started reading the last book in Cormac McCarthy's Border Trilogy, Cities on the Plain.  I really liked the previous two books, All the Pretty Horses and The Crossing.  I drew this here jack rabbit after reading this passage:

"The Oldsmobile had this big ovalshaped grille in the front of it was like a big scoop and when I got around to the front of the car it was just packed completely full of jackrabbit heads.  I mean there was a hundred of em jammed in there and the front of the car the bumper and all just covered with blood and rabbit guts and them rabbits I reckon they'd sort of turned their heads away just at the impact cause they was all lookin out, eyes all crazy lookin.  Teeth sideways.  Grinnin.  I cant tell you what it looked like.  I come damn near hollerin myself."

Here's my quick, weirdo portrait of Albert Camus.  I've been reading his novel The Plague and really enjoying it.  Last year, I read The Fall and it's become one of my favorite books, for now, I think.  Anyway, if you haven't read him, I would recommend both of those books.
