A fascinating BBC documentary from back in 2007 about USA comics legend Steve Ditko.
Famous for co-creating Spider man. He also created and drew Dr Strange, The Creeper, and lesser known titles like The Question, and Mr A.
His depiction of magical planes of existence in Dr Strange predated the whole psychedelic movement!

Developing Your Visual Memory
Wouldn't you like to be able to draw from your visual memory? We all see such fantastic and amazing events and things in our lives - many which happen so quickly or unexpectedly that we can't draw them or take a photo.
