1989, and all that.......
I HAVE JUST RECENTLY UNEARTHED some fairly early 'vintage' cartoon works, I done these in the very late 80s, when I was in my 20s and still a sexy young thing.............
------I found a whole package of this material, done 'between jobs' in most cases although this one possibly dates from 1991, going by the inclusion of Steve Hickner and his Studio Manager at Amblin where I worked.......[see my' Heil Hickner' entries for further details on this ] : I have lost track of time on some of the undated pieces.
No computers for me at least back then, of course: in some ways the medium of cartooning was 'purer' using wholly natural methods. Life was certainly a lot more straightforwards back in the 80s, that's for sure: no pointless distractions like Internet Waffling from Crashing Bores on Forums, : just pencil, steel nibs and bottled ink: photocopies were about as high-tech as it got at that point in time.
Anyway, you can see how much more detailed my drawings were about a quarter of a Century back: all of this image below was done on a mere A4 paper sheet. The unfinished pencil lines have been deliberately left in their original state. I have retained the original inkings here which should make for fairly clear images.
A fair few more of these to screen on this site for purely 'Historical' reasons: I learned to draw like this through a combination of self-honing any ability I may have had, augmented with picking up some work at D C Thomson.
