Esoteric Additions

MORE CULLED ARTWORK from my considerable files:   commercial artwork I sold to a Japanese Company, which also reveals my usual trick of drawing the heads of characters seperately and a good bit larger for 'extra polish':


------I have also added the very rough sketch that won me this assignment: this is how I usually go about presenting basic designs to prospective customers.

THE FLY: A Walk on the Weird Side

Image
HERE WE SEE  my first all-new FLY entry of this year 2016: so, why has it all gone so quiet on the FLY front, then? -----Bsically, the FLY is my fave-rave personal cartoon concept in purely visual terms: BOOMER is undoubtedly my most commercial proposition, but this insect-science fiction theme has real potential for some truly absurdist and striking imagery, as can be seen below. HOWEVER! Although I have every faith in the visual impact of this enterprize, there is that little matter of   COPYRIGHT regarding the FLY-MAN Andre in particular: just too literally close to the unfortunate central character seen in the 1958 film, owned in perpetuity by 20th Century Fox. '......... Ah, but you use a clear copy-clone of KING KONG in BABY BOOMER.'  -----------  I hear you counter. Yes, this is true, my KOONG KING variant of the famous film ape is merely my own interpretation of the RKO/UNIVERSAL PICTURES-owned movie monster, but that is no real problem as he is merely an occ...

Badd Eggs [4]

MORE RELENTLESS RIBBING from my egg-themed satirical cartoons: and I must say, I find there is an endless stream of in-built ideas that are naturally springing from this egg idea. Another fairly [deliberately] rough rendition, but as planned I can still spend the bulk of my time on my central BOOMER characters here: the satirical targets are simple [but hopefully effective] second-string characters which I simply use as the butt of the gag ideas... mere .throwaway fodder, but fine for doodles like this one. A lot more of these on the way: they are so quick and easy to do. There is some polished stuff in the works as well---all coming up shortly. RABBO

Cops 'n' Robbers 2: Boomer fights Back!

Image
An early 'Crime-n-Punishment' scenario theme-drawing of considerable vintage, this cartoon 'turns the tables' on the Noo Yoik cops who emerged so triumphantly dominant in the previous cartoon outing. Hardly the epitome of sophisticated  or 'highbrow' humor, these crime-related drawings reflect my own basically unpretentious sense of humor, which avoids  many 'modern' trends such as sarcasm or   irony, both of which are well catered for within much of today's printed and published output. IRONY is fine if handled well, but SARCASM has never especially appealled to me, either in real-life, or within mass-entertainment. This mode of 'humor'  definately has a following, but I do not count myself amongst these numbers. Give me that falling Anvil gag, or  a well-deserved boot up the a** scenario    any day of the week! I reckon the following gag has subconciously been influenced by TEX AVERY or somesuch purveyor of elaborate slapstick.
