Snowbound in Situ

THESE IMAGES WERE GOING TO BE KEPT IN 'DEEP FROZEN' format until next year: however the ultra-rare freak weather we are experiencing at the moment perhaps makes these items more appropriate:




I drew these for a large-scale composite in summer 2017.

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...

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

I sure seem to be building up quite a cast of original cartoon characters and concepts , far more than I ever set out to: it has expanded organically [ ooh, missus!] and built up gradually, just trying things out to see what--or who--transpires. I am taking a leaf out of the big Movie Studios' book [ yes, I know, I have already made clear I think Hollwood is a load of baloney behind the scenes.......but that finished product can often LOOK Maginficent!]   and attempting to tie everything together, under an easily-reconizable symbol, or logo. Disney have Mickey Mouse....Warner Bros Animation has Bugs Bunny......I liked the Walter Lantz one, with Woody Woodpecker on a horse, 'lancing' the Walter Lantz lettering....I am not too struck on the more modern ones like the Pixar 'humanized. lamp' but there you go. I cannot decide on who to choose as a masthead logo-----Baby Boomer or the main-cat Jet Blanc? This is why I have come up with this image---[they are usually amigo...
