Did a search of the forum and couldn't find anything. Someone from the old boards should remember this.. it was a Mike-drawn one-sheeter on how to draw a graveyard (w/creepy looming headstones, etc.)

Does anyone have a pointer to this anymore? Google was no help either...

I have it on my much maligned & never updated Mignola fan site...

Is it maligned because of the data transfer limits? :-) Anyone else have a copy that's not rate-limited?

Yup, that's pretty much why... and because I haven't been able to update it in forever. Anyway, give it some time & you should be able to view it. Or shoot me an email at bigdaddyschwinnATaolDOTcom and I'll send you the images.

If you look at the last page of how to draw a graveyard, there is an illustration of mike talking. Does anyone know if this is what he looked like that long ago? It's kind of hard to picture him with hair and a gold hoop earring, but.... :)

maybe he was paying tribute to "speak like a pirate day"!

It's too bad that original thread is gone because it turned into a project to photograph and draw your neighborhood graveyard.

I think we need to do that again.

Holy Moly!! He does look like that!
And a tiny bit like Kevin Spacey... but I digress.

If you want photos of graveyards, let me know. Kentucky has some of the best graveyards in the country. Beautiful green rolling hills covered in headstones, tombs, crypts, obilisks and misc. statues, heavy morning mist at the base of each hill (hollars), huge trees casting dark shadows... the works!

Anyone that visits Louisville definately needs to check out Cave Hill Cemetery. Plus you can visit the grave of Colonel Saunders... I'm telling you, when zombies roam the earth, he is going to be leading them!
