Cornered!

Up at a newish comics blog, Cornered, where everyone "recreate the spot character illustrations which appeared in the upper left-hand corners of so many classic comics", I drew a small illustration showcasing my favorite superhero of all time - 'Mazing Man! Check out the rest of the blog too, there are some great stuff in there!

A Bureau of Drawers portrait

I hang out with a talented group of people here in Seattle, WA called the Bureau of Drawers. We are all drawing portraits of one another and I happened to illustrate the illustrious Jonathan Morris, aka Calamity Jon.

Ephemera collection

illustration below is by Al Wiseman.

Ephemera Collection - Why Women Love AAA

A great find in my hunt for vintage ephemera with beautiful illustrations. This is a small fold-out brochure for AAA, approximately 6.25"x11". Artist and year unknown.

Ephemera Collection - "Christmas Magic"

Here's a holiday themed post! "Christmas Magic" is a 16 page pamphlet put out by 3M (Scotch tape) on creative ways to wrap presents. The booklet and it's content is unremarkable save for the small spot illustrations of Santa Claus in various poses. Not sure when this was published, possibly the late 60s or early 70s. I've made a montage of the illustrations below. Happy holidays, everyone!

Ephemera Collection - Al Wiseman

Sometimes I like to hit thrift stores or antiques shops  to hunt down ephemeral paper documents such as brochures, advertisements, booklets, etc. with great illustrations. These small objects weren't meant to be permanent and were often thrown away so it's always a joy to discover a long lost illustrated piece of paper by an unknown, or sometimes known, cartoonist. I have a small collection that I will be scanning and sharing with you.
Recently, I found a single sheet with a beautiful Al Wiseman illustration for Boeing. Al Wiseman was a ghost artist for the Dennis the Menace comic books from the 50s and 60s, and this drawing seems to come from that time when he was ghosting the Dennis comics, possibly late 60s to early 70s (the 747 was produced in 1969).  The illustration has a fluid line, with a crunchy texture in the clothes and beard, and it's almost calligraphy. I'm guessing it is a part of a sales package or advertising campaign created for Boeing, so I will be keeping an eye out for anything else drawn by Wiseman for this campaign. If you have any leads or info about this drawing, I'll love to hear from you!

Page 2 of my story for Our Broadcast Day. See this post for page 1!

I recently drew a comic for my pal Pat Lewis’ upcoming anthology called Our Broadcast Day. The premise is a lost episode from an existing TV show that never aired and I chose to draw a comic based on H.R. Puf-n-Stuf. I’ll be posting the pages in the next few weeks. Here is page one!
PS: I have a new website AND blog on said site! I'll be making more timely updates on that blog than here so please take a look and bookmark!

2t Blokes

"2t Blokes" is a comic strip I created for scooter riders and fans. 2t refers to "two stroke", the type of engine the older Vespas have - so the title would read 2 Stroke Blokes (scooter enthusiasts would be in the know). Enjoy!
