What We Did Last Summer
2014 was the year I exported a fair amount of paid cartoonery to Australia and the USA especially. For all the modern frustrations that the interweb can throw up at us, there is no denying that it is extremely handy for establishing contact between artists looking for paid work, and those willing to pay for cartoon designs.
Every day, new assignments come in, and I often browse thru these looking for something alligned to my own individual stylee; if you strike 'gold' , and a potential buyer connects with your way of drawing, you can pick up work straight away---other times, payees are very nit-picking, and it can be quite a drag before any official work transpires---human nature being as fickle as it is, this is to be expected now and again.
Anyhoo, here is what the best-dressed plumbers in Beverley Hills, California, were attired in, T-shirt design-wise, in Summer 1914.......sorry, add 100 years to that last numero.
Plate 1: the finished artwork I sold to the Americans
Plate 2: unused shark head composite inking
Plate 3: early unused concept, due to awkward shape/composition [the shape of the motif was quite limiting in this design, but this is to be expected now and again in this field].
