Comic Strip from today, 1955 – Peanuts

by on Nov.17, 2015, under Cartooning

Here’s the Peanuts comic strip from the November 17th, 1955 edition of the St Petersburg times.

While I was looking for an advertisement to post over at my Swampy’s Florida, I came across this Peanuts comic strip that I know so well after seeing it many, many times over the years. Here it was as it was originally presented in the St Petersburg Times newspaper. Thought I would post it here and maybe I’ll post other comic strips as I search for ads for Swampy’s Florida over time on Tuesdays.

#DailyInks #16 – Inking #cartoon of Uncle Sam and baby!

by on Nov.17, 2015, under Cartooning

2015-1116-DailyInks-BabyUncleSam

This is inked version of an editorial cartoon I’m working on for a client. The cartoon involves a baby being read to by Uncle Sam, as requested. This is a revision of an earlier cartoon. The original had three well known people in it and I had set them to the left due to them being recognizable and most eye catching. When the request came to swap Sam, I realized the baby would be most eye catching and so reversed the entire setting for effect and storytelling purposes.

Inked with a PITT soft brush.

#DailyInks #15 – Inking an Octopus!

by on Nov.15, 2015, under Cartooning

2015-1115-DailyInks-OCtopus

This project dropped in as I drove to Lakeland Saturday afternoon and needed by Sunday night. Penciling and inking is easy. Coloring is the time eater.

This was inked with a Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pen – Hard and a PITT medium pen.

#DailyInks #12 – Inking a College Professor – November 12th, 2015

by on Nov.12, 2015, under Cartooning, Editorials

2015-1112-DailyInks-MelissaClick

Thought I’d add a small bit of an editorial cartoon i did tonight. This is the now infamous Melissa Click of the University of Missouri. I’m posting this involving producing the art and not the politics.

Inked with a Kuretake brush, she was easy to draw. Coloring even easier. Drawing so many family members who have red, curly hair over the decades, this was easy! So, I include the color version used in the final cartoon, too.

If you would like to see the whole cartoon, let me know below or in a private message and I’ll send you over to my editorial cartoon Facebook page. I’ve kept it kinda quiet, but you can join in, if you would like.

#DailyInks #9 – Now a Week Ahead!

by on Nov.10, 2015, under Cartooning

2015-1109-DAilyInks

Have a bunch of work to do this week and spent a couple hours to pencil and ink more than a weeks worth of Swampy’s Florida cartoons this evening to get those out of the way.
 
To speed things up, I try to make the art smaller, by drawing two to a page.
Inking done with Prismacolor brush, PITT soft brush and a medium Pitt pen.

#DailyInks #8 – Inkings to Judge.

by on Nov.09, 2015, under Caricatures, Cartooning

2015-1109-InkingJans
Attended a powerful talk given Sunday evening (Thanks, Randy Osborne​). That power better empowered me to get some serious painting done and even add some inks to this ongoing large painting. Here’s a small part of it that includes a former judge. Should have it done by the coming weekend to show the entire painting.

Inked with a Pilot brush pen – hard and a Pitt medium pen.

#‎DailyInks‬ #3 – My inked Got Candy & More Coloring Page! – November 3rd, 2015

by on Nov.03, 2015, under Cartooning

2015-1103-DailyInks-GotCandy

This is the inked ‪#‎cartoon‬ art for a coloring page that I still have to set up with border, logo and contact information. It’s for Got Candy & More in Lakeland, Florida. Great spot to get lots of homemade goodies, cup cakes & ice cream.

I couldn’t work at Got Candy! The very idea of being constantly surrounded with yummy cupcakes, homemade candy and ice cream is terrifying. That along with the obvious embezzlement of confectioneries that would send me up the river for a few terms at Raiford.

This was inked with Paper Mate medium Flair, PITT soft brush, and a Kuretake brush.
