LOGO-a-Go-Go [3]

AFTER SHELVING THE FLY for a fair few months, I have decided the time is right to resurrect this most bizarre concept, as I reckon it is easily my most striking-looking work.



THE FLY probably only exists as 30 or so images-----and most of these are quick rough sketches. It does seem a lot more than that for whatever reason, but to be honest I have not especially invested all that much time---as yet---in the overall proposal.

HOWEVER, I deliberately put the whole FLY idea aside for a fair while, as I had  became concerned that the entire look and ambience  was too much of a 'straight lift' from the 20th Century Fox sci-fi/ horror film from 1958, and I realized I had to alter the mix radically: first up is a new name:



FLYTOONS


--although not exactly original or in any way ground-breaking will suffice for the moment.

I also needed an overall logo and so here we see the tiny fly-man taking these particular honors: he seems to have accepted his tiny-mutant status, and here he looks quite happy , making the most out of his powers of flight.




I need to do more with this tiny character: I do not even as yet have a proper name for him.

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.
