The 'Daily Sketch' : [2]

THIS NEXT item is very likely my most striking-ever cartoon done on this site thus far: it is  the first  recent 'brand-new' illustration of the FLY-MAN Andre, dreamed up/ dredged up by me just yesterday---this was drawn extremely quickly, and I just knew I 'hit the jackpot' on this one  [putting down what I saw in my imagination, that is] within a mere few seconds of starting the cartoon.

A pretty vicious, off-putting work that hits like the proverbial sledgehammer, I have left this one deliberately in a rough state, as this mini-series THE DAILY SKETCH is concocted as merely an outlet for some of my  more spontaneous, quicko-ideas, it is also a great way of producing new cartoons regularly: a fine change from spending a long time on the more polished stuff.

So--is HACK OBNOX---the mewling victim represented here in the clutch of the Fly-Man------ a reference to anyone extant in the 'real world'?

----Well: it's possible.....

Let's just say that everything about this cartoon is pretty repellent.....


A lot of my most recent material looks decidedly vicious and downbeat: I put this down to my recent penchant for scouring through the almost-entire back catalog of 2000 AD comic: these comics contain some truly bizarre material, which seems to be rubbing off here......




Anyway, here we see:

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
