An odd little find...

Sometimes, the weirdest stuff turns up when you clean out your desk drawers. I recently found this...


It's a very early pop-up that I made for a friend long before I even realized making pop-up books was even a career (between 1988-1992). This very simple layer fold features some of my own original characters (I had a whole silly yet complicated storyline filled with creatures, heroes, villains and robots back then), hastily illustrated in ink and markers. As I recall, I'd make these pops to be built into miniature comics for mixtapes (yes - it was that long ago) created for my friends. I went all out back then... too much time on my hands, I suppose. Kinda neat, huh?
