Spider-Man Swingin'

This one was mostly drawn in June 1996,  then in 2013 I drew a new version on top of the 1996 drawing, keeping only some elements of the 1996 drawing. I like a good Spider-Man drawing, transports me back to the 1980s and 1990s, and depending on the drawing, even back to before my time, the 70s and 60s. But my Spider-Man drawings take me to the 1980s and 1990s.

Abduct Ted

 

 

This is another new Garbage Pail Kids concept by me and drawn by me, he's a GPK that's been abducted by short gray aliens and taken aboard a UFO craft and is being dissected by the aliens, and they are surprised and disgusted to find all kinds of junk and undigested food inside him. This idea was inspired by my mostly past interest in the UFO phenomenon as well as the 1990s TV show the X-Files. It was partly inspired also by a Garbage Pail Kid from Original 10th Series that is being dissected by intelligent frogs. I thought of this idea and drew the layout and important details and named him "Abduct Ted" before Topps published a new GPK in Brand New Series 2 on a similar theme, the card named Abduct Jed/Take Ken: that GPK is a GPK that is being beamed up by a flying saucer, in the process his skeleton and insides are being sucked up while his skin and clothes are being left on the surface. I thought of mine before I saw theirs, and as you can see my concept is very different from that one. For his other name I may choose Dee Sected, Dissect Tad or Vinnie Section (from "vivisection").

I didn't submit this one to Topps yet and I may not. I'll post him on my Instagram @AlexGheorghiu right after I post him here.

Shane Smoking

This is another new Garbage Pail Kids concept by me and drawn by me, he's a chain-smoking GPK very different from the Original Series GPK that is most like him, which is an ash-tray-like GPK from Original 6th series. My concept is a GPK that is chain-smoking in the street, a big pile of cigarette butts covering his shoes, cigarette smoke filling the air like exhaust or factory smoke, people gagging in the background, pigeons falling from the sky, a little dog dropped from his feet as well. I named this GPK Shane Smoking/Pollutin' Pete (a name that I also used for another GPK, see my blog posts from March 2013)/Pollutin' Paul/Second-Hand Hank/Second-Hand Hal/Cancerous Ken/Hazardous Hal.

I haven't submitted him to Topps, I'm publishing him here and I'll post him on my Instagram @AlexGheorghiu probably today.

April 2013

April 2013 now, I'm going to be uploading many more varied artworks of mine besides what I've uploaded so far (i.e., besides Garbage Pail Kids). I will still be uploading new GPK drawings though. I've been drawing on & off & on since I can remember, and painting on & off & on since my early teens at least, and among the artworks I plan on showing some from my teens.
