and
Koh-I-Noor Rapidograph Pen Mania!
From 1969 and throughout the 1970s, 00ndividual’s artistic medium weapon of choice was Koh-In-Noor Rapidograph Pens. Although they could be like brain surgery to clean, when the ink flowed so did the creativity.
He was introduced to technical pens through his first professional job in 1969 at eighteen at SWRL: SouthWest Regional Labs’ art department doing production work and wrangling Rapidograph ink pens.

This scene was from a very vivid dream in 1970. Not all elements were in the dream but the structure, city in a cauldron, the Lizardman, and stairs to a portal were as if real. Trippy still.

Five years before Star Wars, this 1971 Rapidograph drawing of an ancient future barscene has all the elements; a wookie, a slave girl, a bar band, a lizard alien, a humanoid, a sea horse globe aquarium, and a castle and a floating sea space ship in the background. 00individual was going by Terry Dactyl back then.
Here is an original ’70s artifact and 00individual’s ’70s arsenal: Koh-I-Noor Rapidograph humidifier carousel with pens from 000, 00, 0, 1, 2, 2 1/2, 3, 4, and with a perfectly-sized Playboy magazine cut-out insert half-Moon nude visual lid enhancer.
00individual progressed in his art in many mediums, but back then Rapidograph pens were quick and fun. Just to show the extreme detail that was achieved here are two samples of a mid-to-late ’70s series of African animals done on Bristol board. Above is a Leopard in a tree. Approx. 10″ x 12″.
Above is a Lioness in a tree. Approx. 9″ x 12″.
Somewhere there is Waldo, find Waldo – let’s not find Waldo, there is no Waldo . . . but let’s find a nude woman!
