Incredible Luck!

Another Pettyland card. This time featuring a character known as Dots, who used to be a major character in my art circa 1990 but that I haven't drawn in about 10 years. Like the other illustrations, this one was done in Photoshop.

Satanic Blob of Death

Another Petty Land card illustration. I'm too lazy to put it into the card format, but the text would read "A product of Heavy Metal back masking has manifested in Petty Land. It will not attack any members of Caligula. Lateral Thinking: 9 ".

All of which makes no sense to anyone who hasn't played Petty Land.

Heart Attack, Pettyland style

Another Pettyland card illustration. I dropped this one into the WIP card design. As with all of the illustrations, they are done in Photoshop.

Pettyland Illustrations

A long time ago, between '89 and '91, I created an eight player board game called Pettyland. It was a satirical little snapshot on my real and imagined life at the time. In the game, you play one of eight fragments of Petty's brain attempting to gain dominance over the unfortunate sod and steer him towards the correct path in life.

I haven't played the game in almost ten years, until a long time friend requested it at his birthday a number of weeks ago. Playing it made me think about illustrating the game's hundreds of cards, which is something I never got around to. Here are some doodles along those lines, showing some of the type of cards from the game.

I haven't settled on a look for the game yet, but it would be some combination of my late '80's interests - namely Heavy Metal, A Clockwork Orange, genital references, and the subconscious mind.
