JAILBREAK!

MORE Crime-and-Punishment related cartunery, although this one is a wee bit different inasmuch as it's the first in a 'new' subsection:


CARTOONS inspired by actual song-lyrics, which make up a surprizing amount of the finished strips. Sometimes when I'm drawing with the radio on, , a lot of good ideas come from hearing words out of songs, and here's a fairly  ecocative one:

----no, the theme of this drawing isn't inspired by THIN LIZZY'S 'Jailbreak', but by a much lesser-known ALICE COOPER toon from 1973 or so, called HARD-HEARTED ALICE. No actual  promotional videos from other sources than myself will be featured regarding youtube material, etc, although I will provide a link in this case:

The FREE AS A JAILBIRD reference kicks in at about the 46-seconds in mark. I only revisited this tune for the first time in years after considering it for gag inclusion here...more on this sort of thing later.

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.

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.

HERE I HAVE ADDED the second sheet of artwork for my 'ice-cream' mini-strip; that is almost all of the character stuff/props complete on this one:  I just have to drop in the simple background plates. Although as revealed last posting I am not too sure of the copyright aspects as regards THE FLY, my adaptation of a King Kong-like character as seen here should be sound------he is just used as a supporting character, similar to adding in a stock vampire, or a Frankensteins' Monster-type 'also-ran' character------more on this later. New strip stuff is well under way for further inclusion on here. is it just me, or is that a wee bit of subversion I subconciously added to the double-cornet ice-cream? ENJOI! Rab-erto
