Editors Word

Finally! I nally reformaed this thing and began

turning PCC into a beer magazine. I must say, Im

very happy with the results.

Weve actually got arcles now! Admiedly theres

only two so far, theres now room to expand!

I didnt organise a cover this me (too lazy).

So I used an art piece by the featured arst I inter -

viewed. Thats right, we have an interview arcle

now! Id like to hear your feedback on whether or

not we should keep the cover girl Phonia or just use

group submied fan art. What do you think?

McQuarrie was 82 years old when he passed away

at his quiet home in Berkeley, California, with his

loving wife at his side.

The iconic illustrator is most well known for

designing the look for some of the Star Wars Sagas

biggest and best-known creaons and characters,

including Darth Vader, Chewbacca, R2-D2 and

C-3PO, and also imagined many of the now,legendary sets pieces and exoc worlds for the

beloved space adventure franchise.

McQuarrie also went on to created the breathtaking

alien spaceships in Steven Spielbergs sci

masterpiece, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. As

well as worked again with the director once more on

the instant classic E.T. He nally won an Academy

Award in 1985 for Visual Eects for the hit sci lm

Cocoon.

Lucas, who gave McQuarrie an un credited role

in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, has hailed

his dear friend a nd collaborator, as an absolute

visionary and talent of the 20th & 21th Century.

He says, Ralph McQuarrie was the rst person

I hired to help me envision Star Wars. His genial

contribuon, in the form of unequaled producon

painngs, propelled and inspired all of the cast and

crew of the original Star Wars trilogy.

When words could not convey my ideas, I could

always point to one of Ralphs fabulous illustraons

and say, Do it like this.We will all be b eneng from his oeuvre for

generaons to come. Beyond that, I will always

remember him as a kind and paent, and

wonderfully talented, friend and collaborator.

Certainly wonderful words, his spirit, manor and

contribuon to the world of moon picture and

cinema will live on for many, many yrs to come.

Interview with Chris FultonA.K.A. Covens-OzFor PCCs rst interview ever, I was lucky enough to get a few words in with Chris Fulton

or Covens-Oz, as hes known on Deviant Art. A regular contributor to PCC and true pro-

fessional, Fultons art is hard hing and eye popping. I spoke to the man himself about

what inuences this heavy metal artsist.

PCC: What rst got you into Art?

Fulton: I was born this way, lol! All the way back

to my earliest memories i was drawing. One day i

picked up a pencil and never put it down.

PCC: Who are your favourite arsts and how have

they inuenced you?

Fulton: Barry W. Smith, Frank Frazea, James Obarr.

Barrys weapon-x story blew my mind as a child and

set a bar for me that im sll trying to reach.

Franks work is what sculpted my imaginaon as a

child the man was true master. When i imagined

fantasy it was Franks work moving around in my

head.

James Crow showed me how to translate emoon

into artwork. He was telling a story about a tragic

loss he suered as a young man. His pain and

sorrow bleeds through the ink, page by page.

PCC: How would you characterise your work?

Fulton: I really have no idea lol everyone calls it

comic book.

PCC: Your artwork has a bad ass, heavy metal,

horror vibe to it. What fuels this aggressive art

style?

Fulton: Heavy metal music and the horror genre are

two of my greatest passions in l ife, but my greatest

passion has to be art so when i work i put my heart

soul into it so i guess the metal and horror in me

comes out in the art. If you own a piece of my art

you can about bet there was metal on when i drew

it!

PCC: I personally admire your alien and Predator

work. What was your rst experience with these

movies and how did that aect you and your work?

Fulton: That one is my moms fault shes a huge

horror fan and she loves the Xenos i remember

watching Aliens with her when i was in elementary

school and being scared to death which made

me want to draw them. When i was 8 i watched

Predator on HBO by myself and fell in love with it.

PCC: Theres also a lot of Venom pics on your DA

page. What makes Venom so awesome?

Fulton: Venom is the man. Hes sleek and nasty;

the teeth, the tongue, come on! What a visual

explosion! I love drawing him and fans beg me too,

as long as the people keep asking for him ill keep

him coming!

PCC: Your prole says you live in Texas. Did you grow

up there? Do you think living in Texas has an eect

on your artwork?


4/11


Fulton: Yep, lived in Texas my whole life. Where I

grew up there is no art scene. I had to travel into

Dallas as a teenager to nally get my ll. So im

gonna say, not really or id be drawing cowboys and

Indians, lol!

PCC: Is there any arsts you know or work with that

youd like to reccomend?

Fulton: I know too many arsts, lol!

Cory Smith is a god among insects you should def

check him out his DA page is under:

hp://cjoeshsculpt.deviantart.com/

PCC: Do you have any upcoming projects you would

like people to know about?

Fulton: Right now im working with Dynamite on

two sets of trading cards i cant say much, but if you

like vampires or red heads keep your eyes peeled.
