STRANGE MAGAZINE

ONE OF SEVERAL ILLOS EXECUTED FOR STRANGE MAGAZINE (STRANGEMAG.COM), EDITED BY THE LATE MARK CHORVINSKY. I INHERITED THE JOB OF ILLUSTRATING THE "FIRST PERSON" COLUMN FROM THE BRILLIANT (AND LATE) OTTO MARTINUSSEN. AS WITH THE WORLD EXPLORER MAGAZINE JOB, I FOUND STRANGE MAG ON THE SHELVES AT THE LOCAL BOOKSTORE AND SAID TO MYSELF, "I WOULD GIVE MY EYE TEETH TO DO ART FOR A PUBLICATION LIKE THIS!"---AND LO, IT BECAME SO. MARK LIKED MY LOOSE, "SKETCHY" INTERPRETATIONS OF THE PARANORMAL. MARK WAS THE MOST SPECIFIC EDITOR I'VE HAD AND REALLY ENJOYED HIS DIRECTION. AND AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE STRANGEMAG.COM SITE, HE HAD A STRONG VISUAL SENSE.
THIS DRAWING IS BASED ON AN EYEWITNESS SIGHTING OF A GIANT WHITE APE IN ARIZONA.
