Brief

In early 2020, I was contacted by Peter Berneiser from Pegasus’s “Pen and Peter” format to create illustrations for the annualy edition of the stream. The brief was short: draw all four characters in two days.

The Adventure takes place in 1985, Lawrenceville, Minnesota, USA. The four characters used to be friends during their high-school days but now, years later, they see themselves surrounded by abductions and strange phenomenon all around! Imagine Stranger things mixed with X-Files as well as the Cthulhu Mythos.

Laurie – A doctor. She had to take care of her little sister ever since their mother died during her teenage years. Very strong-minded but not physically strong, she is a rather nurturing but strict character, in stark contrast to her former sweetheart Clive.

Clive – A rocker, a car-mechanic, a rebel and sometimes not quite on the right side of the law. He left Lawrenceville to pursue a career in music which ended his relationship with Lauri. He’s good with his hands and more of a physical type of character. He loves wearing leather, no matter the weather. The quintessential “cool” guy.

Katey – She left Laurenceville a few years ago and now lives in Minneapolis as a freelance journalist. She’s a looker and she knows it, although she only uses her charm as a last resort. As a more social character, she is smart and a real people person. Jason and her were in a relationship for about a year during high school. They are still very good friends.

Jason – Ex-football player turned farmer. He had to give up on a promising career in football due to a knee injury and took over his parents’ farm. Now happily married and accustomed to this new lifestyle Jason’s a very robust character, athletic and physically strong.
