Please subscribe now - thanks! Sequence from the Rock & Rule animated feature film produced by Nelvana and released in the mid 1980s. It is villain Mok's big “rock video“ which establishes in lyrics how much he thinks of himself - which is a lot! Over the course of the production the musical acts shifted as deals with talent came and went. Mok's songs were originally supposed be done by Mick Jagger (Rolling Stones) but he became unavailable when his solo album launched. Same thing happened with David Bowie who was next in line - his Scary Monsters album took off making him unavailable. Third time the charm, Lou Reed stepped up to provide the song and music we have here. This was done as traditional pre-computer cel-animation (early 1980s). All the effects were done optically with some help from Industrial Light and Magic where just off doing the first Star Wars movie at the time. Design, storyboards, animation layouts and posing by Verne Andru. Directed by Keith Ingham with animation by Robin Budd. Music by Lou Reed. Visual effects by ILM.

Driven to draw, I'm currently working on new editions of the Captain Cannabis comic book series I started back in the seventies. A unique mix of science fiction, dark comedy and gritty realism, the story is fun with great characters adventuring in an inspired universe told in what's been described as a truly original voice.
