Tee-Zers: Bits 'n' Bobs from my newest concept
I have cast my eye on a USA site as a potential outlet for my Manic Toonery: I can reach a larger audience for my fantasy imagery over there , because, as a comparison I recently done shows, the UK cartoon sites get pitiful viewing figures in comparison.
I also deliberately draw in a very 'American' style as I am not too keen on contemporary UK cartooning in general---the old school stuff was great,---I have many hundreds of 60s/70s UK comics-------- but a recent shuftie through the current BEANO , or the weakly satire mags---which now feature mostly postage-stamp-sized cartoons---- for example, has left me less than wholly impressed.
This blog is great for archiving stuff and showing new cartoons, but I need to gauge response on a Public Forum with some interaction with other creative people---I had a false start regarding this elsewhere , but time to try again, perhaps.
I have posted one or two items there [ on this new site I fancy] in the past, but because there is a much higher ratio of talented artists in a population of over 250 Million in the States, it will be much harder to stand out compared to here in Grate Britain, with it's much smaller talent pool.
However: I have a strategy already worked out, and I intend tailoring specialized themery unlike what any other folks are submitting on their site for them, which I hope will grab their attention. I have a fair bit of material ready to put together for them.
Clearly, I intend showing the tailored cartoonery over there first, but fear not, dear reader, this material will also be screened on here as well, and indeed, this composite element seen here below is a 'first' ---or should that be: 'foist' for loyal readers of this site.
This drawing here is but a small element within a wider vista......
This new imagery is again far removed from BABY BOOMER, THE FLY, or MEDIEVEL WORLDES, and like everything on this site, everything depicted is original to me,---both the ideas and drawings------- , so do not say I am not offering diversity!
Plate One: the finished color composite, with rescaled heads for both characters, and also the hand on
the gal.
Plate Two: the original paper rough before digital jiggerypokery.
