Description Found these the other day, looking through my archives for stuff needed for another project...seems a shame for no one to *ever* see them, so here they are.

Awhile ago, I got asked to do up some samples to see if the famous Philip K Dick story, Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep could be adapted into comics form. For various reasons it was not to be, with me, though. In a slightly different form, another publisher put out a book of it instead. My take was always going to be a little different, definitely not wanting to use every single word of prose but getting all the dialogue and descriptions as right as I could. Translations between mediums, I'm sure you'd all agree, should be about playing to the strengths of the new one, not just trying to force a square peg in a round hole, etc.

If I ever had the time ( hah, not likely considering what's going on lately, ) I'd love to do a "If Templesmith drew..." series if insane things where I basically screw up well known properties and shock people with my style over well known classics. Just for kicks.

I'd heard about the Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep comic and was on my list to look into reading. Then I saw these on your gallery page and got all excited thinking you were the artist! You bloody tease...what a total bummer that you're not.
But you're a sweetie for sharing these samples with us.
Lovin the look of this of course. Love the neon signs and fling car tail lights. You do light SO well.

Yeah, I'd have liked to have seen this come to something. PKD is one of my favorites.

Shame it never came to fruition. Bloody beautiful. I'd have bought it.
