'lost' Imagery

THE SELLERS OF MY NEW COMPUTER MOTOR very kindly transferred a lot of the previous images from my last muvvaboard onto this new machine---'twas very nice of them, I never asked them!--------and looking through some of the more obscure , almost-forgotten graphics, I was happy to discover two 'lost' cartoons I done in early 2015.


These two were part of a long thread I done on a snooty UK cartoon forum, and I honestly thought I had lost these two images for good. I could have went back to retrieve copies from the cartoon thread I done there, but I do not especially want to go back to that site as I have vowed never to read the replies to my postings on there [little wonder they banned me, it retrospect!] :  apparently after an official ban, there is an 'autopsy' thread  from some gloating members---I have never seen this either.



Anyway, back to these two drawings, they were drawn very quickly, and were part of a MEDIEVEL theme I started ekeing out at the time. [I really must get back to that material; there is still great potential in that stuff] :


the first cartoon is a satire on modern consumerism: the second is an expanded, more dramatic view of the same idea.


Perhaps not my absolute best material ever, but great to have salvaged these pieces for this archive-----I honestly thought I would never see these two again.

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
