1989 [7]

THE ARCHIVE CARTOON MATERIAL from the very late 80s just keeps on coming:


-------my drawings were often described as fairly 'aggressive-looking' by much and sundry back then, and this almost-finished BRITISH BOOTBOY theme sure fits that criteria nicely.


Love that excessive detail on the Dr Martens boot-tread!

THE FLY: A Walk on the Weird Side

HERE WE SEE  my first all-new FLY entry of this year 2016: so, why has it all gone so quiet on the FLY front, then? -----Bsically, the FLY is my fave-rave personal cartoon concept in purely visual terms: BOOMER is undoubtedly my most commercial proposition, but this insect-science fiction theme has real potential for some truly absurdist and striking imagery, as can be seen below. HOWEVER! Although I have every faith in the visual impact of this enterprize, there is that little matter of   COPYRIGHT regarding the FLY-MAN Andre in particular: just too literally close to the unfortunate central character seen in the 1958 film, owned in perpetuity by 20th Century Fox.

MORE RELENTLESS RIBBING from my egg-themed satirical cartoons: and I must say, I find there is an endless stream of in-built ideas that are naturally springing from this egg idea. Another fairly [deliberately] rough rendition, but as planned I can still spend the bulk of my time on my central BOOMER characters here: the satirical targets are simple [but hopefully effective] second-string characters which I simply use as the butt of the gag ideas... mere .throwaway fodder, but fine for doodles like this one. A lot more of these on the way: they are so quick and easy to do. There is some polished stuff in the works as well---all coming up shortly. RABBO
