Gould's Marlowe was, I thought, the greatest portrayal of the character's self-loathing, brass, and smart-assery. The decision to play Marlowe's pointed observations as mumbled thoughts to himself was very smart, as it allowed a lot of the book's monologue gems into the film. It's a shame the movie doesn't exactly... work very well? I could watch the opening half-hour, before the plot really takes hold, over and over, but the weird murder-not murder thing feels really odd to me. Though it's fun to spot one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's earliest film roles.
Welcome to my blog. You've probably gotten here from my website www.seanphillips.co.uk. I plan on this place being a companion piece to there, hopefully updated more often.
Every working day I'll post an example of what I've been working on that day. a favourite panel or cover or sometimes a whole page of comics.

Looks great Sean, love the color scheme -- did you use Dr. Ph Martins Watercolor Inks for this?
you're really on quite a streak with these recent watercolor pieces!
Awesome art..but damn I hated that version of the Long Goodbye (even though Gould did a great job)
