Grow

This is the Ulcer in Philadelphia. God knows what the scenario is with this one.

I know exactly what it is actually. He has travelled to
Philadelphia to attend a pharmacutical conference intent on buying the
rights to these new growth hormone tablets that he intends to
distribute through Ulcer corps. The scientist that has created them has
refused to grant him the rights based on his own concerns that the drug
is not yet perfected and could have unpredictable results.

The ulcer is having none of this and instead decides to try and
steal the pills by shoving them all in his mouth. Unfortunately he
accidently swallows them all and grows to an enourmous size as a
result. Now he is making a run for it as security realises what he has
done.

Note the zen-like busker in the bottom right hand corner calmly observing the chaos as it unfolds.

This was the first screenprint I ever made. I'll probably screenprint an entire comic strip eventually. How's that for geekin' out?

I spend alot of time drawing "the Ulcer" over and over again. This is a page from my ulcer sketchbook where I've been practicing how quickly I can draw him. Some are better than other's but I'm getting better I think.

Intimidating bunch

Really would have made sense to have uploaded this one at the beginning of the blog but no worries. This is the very first time that I came up with the Ulcer guy. As you can see, I decided to call him "heart attack man" after the Beastie boy's song. I drew it when I was sat in a park in the city centre of Sydney, Australia one lunch time amongst all these city types that were taking their lunch breaks.

I like this guy. He crops up quite alot, making little cameo appearances, calmly observing the inner city chaos in a zen like way.

....but that won't stop him being at his desk promptly on time every morning.

Hitting the town

He likes to drink........

Walking home.....

What does this character do? What does he represent? Where does he come from?
I don't know but he just won't go away. He seems to keep cropping up.

This is a character that I have created which at the moment is only known as "Ulcer Man". I'm intending to develop him and a whole worl for him to live in with other characters also. This is the first image that I created where I used real life images as a background. It seemed to work pretty well so I continued to create some more. I'll upload them also.
