Easter Festivities: a Festoonery
Firstly, I am delighted to report that this blog has recieved it's [easily] highest-ever viewing figures just recently: there is a dearth of comments, but to those of you who seem to be following this visual tapestry of my demented doodling: muchos gracious! Your patience will be rewarded by some ambitious cartoon visuals, which are well under way......
--------The recent Boomer cartoon tattoo design I turned out was a welcome discovery: these fairly simplistic designs have an inherent appeal, and crucially, they can be turned out fairly quickly, to boot.......so there will certainly be a fair few more of these.
BABY BOOMER ----the comic strip, not the character------is fairly-----and some would say, cynically------aimed at the United States Market, and in the name of research, I visited the East Coast of that massive nation over Nov 2014- Jan 2015, so in visual terms, I am better equipped to visualize what life really looks like in the States: yes, there are water hydrants everywhere, as well as 'smokin' manhole covers, emitting steam everywhere.
One British Institution that I rarely ever laid eyes upon over there-----and I did quite melancholically miss this phenomenon------were staunchly British items like Walkers' Crisps, and also Cadbury's chocolate:
------although their celebrated creme eggs are most certainly on sale and are quite visible over there----even out of season------and so, it is quite acceptable to add on this satirical version of these English-styled sweetmeats on here, ostensibly for the American market:
Plate One: finished cartoon, replete with Cadbury's- wrapper inspired background color;
Plate Two: the plain character[s] cartoon
