Great pick, Duncan! :)

I went the classic, low budget (Italian) sci-fi way, so I came up with the fictional "PHANTOMS OF SPACE"*!
Hope ya dig it while enjoying some popcorn :)

Cheers,
Francesco

Cosmic Odyssey by Duncan Fegredo

Not a remotely original idea, I know, but it's just one of those images I find very evocative. It's rare I ink solely with a brush, I should do it more often...

Cosmic Doodles by Duncan Fegredo

Its all gone a bit quite around here so here's a page of proto-What Not doodling as a taster to a full Cosmic offering...

The Neck by andrew robinson

So I had to go mobster. Just wanted to draw a big lug in his mug shot.

3 Headed Gangsters by Reverend Dave Johnson

Started this at Drink and Draw Social Club while hopped up on cold medicine, and then finished at home. I couldn't decide who to draw so I picked three of the biggies from the golden era of Mob films.

Sons of Anarchy by Panosian

A little late, but here's my idea of a modern gangster.  Done in the biker bar, Drink and Draw Social Club style of pen  & white-out on cardboard chip stock.  See it BIGGER here.

"Branded to Kill by Oeming

Branded to Kill is one of my favorite crime films. It's not the BEST crime film, but it's one of my favorites because of the balance of a straight forward crime film and art. Director Seijun Suzuki was never afraid to do deliver his vision to an audience, even if it hurt his career. He did however, balance his artistic vision with the powers that be by delivering his vision FAST and under budget, allowing him artistic freedom while being able to feed his family:)
This crime film drips of style and hallucinatory vision that has been homaged by Jim Jarmusch (especially in the brilliant Ghost Dog which is almost a remake) and others including myself in the butterfly/moth scene in Cross Bronx with Ivan Brandon and this image I redid can easily be found online. Check it out if you get the chance. It's a great film.

"kid gangsters" by mark chiarello

Gangsters: The Gangster's Moll by Sean Phillips

Painted this yesterday for something else, but thought it might just fit this week's theme.
Bigger version over at my blog...

The Donk by andrew robinson.

This is exactly what they tell you not to draw in art school. I tapped into my teenage psyche for this one. And apparently I'm not a very good speller.

Video Games- Super Miyamoto by Fegredo

Another oldy, a portrait of Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of Super Mario and many other classics from Nintendo.

Originally drawn for Hey Oscar Wilde! It's Clobberin' Time!!!

Go lookee, loads of your favourite artists drawing their authors or creations.

Video games - ARMY OF TWO by Jock

I really wanted to do something new for this, but time is against me again. This is one of 35 'in game' pieces I did for the EA Games release a few years ago. Not very exciting, but unless you've completed most of the game, you wouldn't get to see it otherwise.

If I had done something new it would have been either MANIC MINER or JET SET WILLY. I'm not sure whether the ZX Spectrum made it across the atlantic in the 80's, but it was my weapon of choice as a kid.

Video Games - SUPER MARIO by Cliff Chiang

Video Games- Gamer Grrls 3 by Fegredo

The finished art. Each piece had areas of transparency for overlapping, not that it showed in the printed version… Why mention it then, you may ask? Because I did the work damn it! Grumble, grumble, bah.
