The Transmigration of ULTRA-Lad!

http://act-i-vate.com/56.comic

Long time Caveman Robot contributor, Joe Infuranri just launched another web comic, The Transmigration of ULTRA-Lad on Act-i-vate. As far as I know from talking about this project with Joe for the last year, the character came out of his love of the old Captain Marvel comics from C.C. Beck. ULTRA-Lad is a sort if invert of Captain Marvel, a meek middle-age man who transforms in a super powered 5 year old. Check it out when you get a chance.

Caveman Robot Meets Robot Caveman!

I was digging around the old hard drive today and I found this gem!
It was printed in Caveman Robot: Tales of Myth, Monsters, Mirrors, and Madmen!
The idea came from Britton Walters and I talking about how to do the classic evil twin/Bizarro of Caveman Robot, after some brainstorming Britton banged out a rough story with thumbnails, and I did the final artwork, lettering and layout. I think it came out really good. You can view it below via blogspot or read it all here

Blast from the Past


I was ego-surfing on flickr and found this old photo of a Caveman Robot Action Figure that I created in 1996! That was for sale at Quimby'sin Chicago. This was part of a whole batch of figures that where made by taking any old plastic figure I could find, in this case a bootleg King Kong doll and dipping them in industrial aluminum paint adding the animal fur and calling it a day. This was still when I was making stuff under the "Monumental Comics Presents" inprint. The funny thing is I made about 50 of this back then and they all sold, so they must still be out there in the world, hope they are being taken care of.

Caveman Robot at Alcove Gallery New York City!



Caveman Robot, along with 99 other characters is part of my Dramatis Personae exhibit at the Alcove space, 547 w. 27th st. 6th fl. New York, New York.

Dramatis Personae involves 100 archetypal characters from all aspects of our lives, history, literature, myth, popular culture, and all points in-between. In 1997 I began this project, a process now it is a retroactively collaborating with my self. All of the characters in Dramatis Personae exist within the same idealized landscape, leading to the experience that this is a single ever-changing entity that is my own selfhood.

You might remember this same Caveman Robot image as the one my little brother John has permitly tattooed on his leg.
