Interglobal, Inc: Two-Point-Five

A BUNCH OF SNOBBY-acting , apparently  sour-faced misery-guts that made up some of the most selfish members on a petty-evil  forum I used to be on sometimes indicated that my cartoons were 'not funny enough to sell' however a quick backtrack through this site will reveal I CAN actually turn my hand to very commercial material that pays,  if the opportunity arises.

True, I much prefer just drawing the way I feel like-----what artist DOESN'T?------however sometimes the discipline of trying out something that 'has to be done in a certain way' can be well worthwhile----more on this later, I am actually doing stuff along this train-of-thought right now.




The commercial material I probably enjoy more is when the buyer specifies something 'a bit more off-the-beaten track', which was the case here.

My display for a VAPE shop in Estonia that is apparently getting the punters in.


PHOTOS via camera-phone--I have never actually seen this shop---but here we get enough to make a point:

IPC REDUX

THIS ITEM was a one-off, fairly elaborate Christmas-themed item in which the criteria was to recreate the ambience of the late 1960s/ very early 70s humour comics put out by IPC/ Fleetway---you know the sort of thing if you are into this stuff: Whizzer and Chips, Cor!!, and many more. ---in other words. 'no outright copying of established characters ' but I had to put over the basic ambience for them. Great fun, though clearly, this one took a fair bit of time to put together.

Subverso-O-toons [2] : KOONG KING

Image
Slightly risque imagery here as we see celebrated 'BIG APE' KOONG KING studying the contents of a 'racy' gentlemen's magazine..........dubbed 'OOMPH!' in this case. OOMPH! does not actually spring from my demented imagination, but is lifted, I believe, wholesale from a brief shot in an early M-G-M Tex Avery cartoon, in which one of Tex's characters views this ficticious mag momentarily.......I forget which cartoon it was [ I've seen 'em all!]  was, but the idea has clearly stuck in my memory, and I'm glad to resurrect it here. Another cityscape view, which so peppers the highly visual World of  BABY BOOMER and his pen-and-ink companions, this is yet another recognizable backdrop that offers up great potential for muchos experimentation and visual exuberance.....in fact, there is no way I will be able to find the time to put together all the gag ideas I have written thus far: the skill is in selecting suitable material worthy of adaptation.

Repeat Business [3]

TODAY'S ITEM is the fourth---and last, to date--------customized tailored caricature job I got offered by a kindly gent who liked my stuff enough to ask me back a few times. Great fun as usual and again I liked to do it in  fairly elaborate technique-style. Also contained below: not-quite-finished artwork [complete with image underneath burning through] , the original rough sketch required to 'sell' the proposal, and other miscellanea. Enjoi! RAB L.
