Legend of Bill

Artwork from another cartoonist whose work I really admire, Dave Reddick. He created a black and white sketch of his character, Bill, and posted it on Facebook. So, I grabbed it and colored it. Glad he liked it. The link to his site: http://legendofbill.com/

Halloween Kitty

Created this sketch because I was thinking of a t-shirt I used to have, with a really crazy looking Cheshire Cat image on it. after coloring it, it really reminds me of a another cartoonist whose work I really like, Gris Grimly.
Here she is, Halloween Kitty.

A response from Mr. Guindon

I am happy to share the response I received from the master cartoonist, Richard Guindon, in reply to a sketch I posted yesterday:

 "Jerry,
Very nicely done  and I thank you for the kind words. Good luck with your career - a difficult but rewarding one but fun if you can pull it off. At least I believe we have more fun than say, upholsters do.

Cheers. "

Braaaaaaaaaaiiiiinsssssssssssss HO!

In celebration of Columbus Day, and it being October, in the realm of Halloween, here is Zombie Columbus!

The Curmudgeonly Parachutist

I was going through my books, and I came across one of my favorites; a book of Richard Guindon cartoons.
He had a wonderful design quality to his drawings, and his line work always amazed me with its paradox of looseness and precision.
I grew up reading his cartoons in the Minneapolis Tribune that I read in my school's library.
( We lived in a tiny farm town, so my folks only got the town paper, once a week, and the St. Cloud Times, everyday. On Sunday, after church, I would run to the drugstore to buy my comic books, candy, and whatever Sunday paper was left, so the library was my only guaranteed source of Big City cartoon work).
Here is a drawing inspired by this great cartoonist.

It's your fault!

Never take responsibility if you can blame someone else.

The Seether

Inspired by the Wall Street Protesters. The Seether is mad as hell, not liking the current situation of its life or the direction of the country, wanting to change things somehow, but is totally impotent due to its small stature, weak grip of reality and brief attention span.

War of the Worlds

Getting into the Halloween vibe by listening to "Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of the 
War of the Worlds".
Narrated by Richard Burton, this is just a fantastic album.
