The other day, I stumbled onto this t-shirt design...
...(which is by an artist known as Raz and was originally available for order at Shirtpunch) that totally reminded me of another old t-shirt design I did back when I was with my old company. This is yet another design that didn't make the cut, but it was designed during one of our mad dashes to knock out a ton of potential designs for a Halloween program.
The two ideas are super similar, but the styles are completely different. Here's mine...
Looking at the two together, mine looks pretty cartoony. I guess that's what I was going for because if my memory serves me, I think this program was supposed to be for younger kids. Maybe it was too scary for that age-group and too cartoony for an older age group and that's why it never got produced. Now that I'm looking at it, I really hate the orange glow I added, and that "distress" filter was something they always made up add. It looks misplaced here, though.
Either way, I love that people can come up with such similar ides independently and execute them in such a different way.
Here's the original sketch I made for this design...
Now that I look at it, I guess I technically squeezed in an extra monster with the Mummy bandages. ;)
So, there's that. Just thought I'd share.

Vintage Imperial Monsters!
Greeting boys and ghouls! MuuuaaaHAHAHAHAhahahahahaha!!!
So, I've got to be honest; I'm hella short on time and have a ton to do today, so I don't have a lot of time to wax poetically about some toy I had when I was a kid and how I had a multitude of adventures with it and all that nonsense, so I'm just going to post some pics of toys I never had, but saw them on eBay and just had to have them.
I scored this lot of monster figures by Imperial a few weeks back and they have been dominating my Universal Monsters shelf ever since, mostly because they are just massive, about 8 or 9 inches tall, and made of a bulky, heavy plastic. These figures could be used as murder weapons.
Anyway, like I said, I never had these before, but I do have vague memories of seeing them in stores when I was younger, and maybe some kids I knew had them, but whatever, these are mine now! Now all I have to do is find the Wolfman figure, and possibly a Gillman one (if they ever made one of him).
So, there it is. Enjoy the pics!
(By the way, I happen to have two Frankensteins, if anyone wants to make a trade for a Wolfman or Creature!)
