My Left Foot

 

From Nothing Came Something, 1990

Recently, I rewatched the film My Left Foot with Daniel Day-Lewis. I hadn't seen it it in some time, probably the early 90's, or so. I was very inspired by the story of Christy Brown and did this painting not long after my first viewing of the movie. I dug it up and looked it over some. It's a simple piece, but I still like it. I don't know why I chose to do the foot as a silhouette, but I think it works. 

Fleetwood, Part Two

So, here are the remaining cartoons of my fledgling junior high school attempt at a comic strip. Sorry. I know that I only threatened to spring the rest on you, but I am a cruel cartoonist who reigns supreme in these parts. It's a kingdom of one, but hey, what the heck...

Fleetwood

So, going through some old drawings looking for other stuff I found these little gems from my sordid cartooning past. In the waning days of 9th grade as I sat in Study Hall with some other burgeoning hoodlums I created my very first cartoon strip. I only had two characters and I originally named the St. Bernard (the star) Fleetwood and the sailor who found him, Mac. So clever was I.

Oh, and at this time I thought Garfield was hilarious, so you can see why this was so very bad. I did six of these awesome little strips, so I may spring the rest on you very soon. You have been warned.

Prisoners

I was thinking about this drawing recently that I did in 2005, so I thought I would share it with Electronic Land, since I probably can't show anything new until the new year.

Can you name each 'prisoner' and why they are considered so?

Too Much Junk

This here two page comic story is a blast from the past. Whenever I see reports on how polluted our oceans are I can't say that I didn't see this coming. People are pigs. I did this comic in my sketchbook back when I was 19. Dig the Frank Frazzeta-ish signature that I had going on at the time.
