Odds and Sod All-Ogy.
AS I AM BUSY working on paid cartoonery---the fruits of which will be exhibited on here at some point, after the goods are made public------I will have to cannibalize existing artwork in order to keep the site ongoing.
Believe me, I have stacks of unseen material in a pile right here in front of me.
INSPIRATIONS: here, the stance of cool cat Jet Blanc is surely derived from the cocky Bugs Bunny characteristic often seen in the vintage Warner Bros shorts. Overall, too, the aim of these works is to approximate the look of these older animations, and indeed , with todays' Digital Technology, the act of 'dropping in' a wholly seperately-prepared background plate harks back to the approach taken by the cartoon studios during the cel animation boom years.
That grossly overdone salvatating probablty derives from the Bob McGrath Three Bears [mid-60s period] and there is most definitely an older-era D C Thomson influence infused in many of these facial close-ups.
The skyscaper background elements were drawn at tiny A5 size then blown up---then shrunken down again, adding a hopefully detailed patina to the proceedings, done in a way impossible via traditional 'draw-everything-on-the-same-sheet-of-paper ' approach.

HOT OFF THE PRESS:
Today, 6th Oct 2016, I have been corresponding with another artist on a well-known social media site, who has been blocked from adding his drawings there.
I myself experienced something very similar to this myself, so I sympathize with him.......
