finished one of these 289 days passed between the completion of x 41 and x 42 even accounting for how relatively rapidly time seems to pass that s a long interval between those two paintings i made 108 illustrations for broadcast on the 49th season of 60 minutes that is work which i find challenging rewarding and sometimes frustrating because of the schedule while creating alien menagerie pieces aren t without challenge i experience a deep sense of serenity and satisfaction it s every day every moment i ve sat aside time to work on art for the love of it connected as one preliminary pencil

tuesday may 30 2017 fanzines 1977 1978 armageddon cover artwork by andy kuhn from the introduction to 9 aliens when i first dreamed of a career for myself as a professional artist of some type i thought it would be in comics i found a co conspirator in my good friend pat talbot who i met in september 1973 as students in our first year of middle school we were both fans of star trek and planet of the apes together we started a small science fiction club and i began reading isaac asimov robert heinlein and e e doc smith books eventually pat won me over to superhero comics and iron man 71 was my first purchase in august of 1974 not long after we were fervently creating our own comic books with markers on typing paper when pat learned that professional comic artists used india ink on large sheets of bristol board we upgraded our methods we competed with and encouraged each other to be better artists and storytellers in 1977 pat published his fanzine armageddon which i contributed to along with other artists and writers from the comics scene in indianapolis i had some nebulous plans to print my own zine as well and i interviewed the artist al milgrom for it from a pay phone dropping in quarters as he patiently answered my questions by the publication of pat s next fanzine eons in 1978 i had started teaching myself to paint and shortly after began to entertain ambitions of someday becoming an illustrator creating book covers for science fiction novels my artistic goals had shifted and i never got around to printing my own zine but forty years later i m correcting that in a modest fashion 9 aliens collects together a group of pen and ink drawings i made in the fall of 2016 i d been wanting to try my hand at this media again for some time and found the catalyst
