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.

2015-1112-DailyInks-MelissaClick-Color

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.
