Phantasmagoria!

Cities of Gold Ordinary Death.  This is the book jacket format. Haunted Valley Diamond Knot Only You Can Make It Right Sand Castles Much Bigger Atmosphere Suit Remember The Ruins Boy's Herald Necromancer.  My favorite of this incredible artist's work. Take That Pearl Flying Mutation The Long Return Kidnapped Back On The Road Better Way The Forest Primeval Doc Savage Collage Lom + Wint At some point I have to stop.  I have been talking with leothefox for not even a week, and I am blown away at this guy's range and ability.  He is a reader of early Sci/Fi, and of everything else.  I mean Hugo Gernsback grade reading.  I would say scholar but that is far too dry for such imagination as we see here.   I see much influence in this artwork, yet he has made it all his own.  His art nouveau picture borders alone are worth visiting his p

Roman Rabbit

Roman, bronze. I wonder what year this was cast.  I am looking for answers and will post further when I find them.  After all these centuries bronze casting does not get any better than this.

Long Time No See!

Image
Billy has not seen his bestest friend in weeks.  He quit taking that medicine that made him sleepy all the time, and feeling peppy he walked to the park.  It was a warm and beautiful spring day.  And there he found Harvey sitting on a park bench.  So nice outside with his buddy.  Billy thinks that today would be great for roasting hot dogs over a campfire.  The old lumberyard would be just the place for a picnic!

Happy Easter, New Rome!

A lot of hopes were dashed today among the wolves of New Rome.  Flamma is saying, "See you in Hell, Kitty"!

Great Animal Lovers Are Often Pathetic In Their Hatred Of Humanity

Image
August 16, 1933.  Hermann Goering forbids vivisection.  The artist is the American born Arthur Johnson, and this is not satire.  Johnson was a Nazi.  This was published in Kladderdatsch Magazine.  I am trying to keep this blog at least tangent to comic and anthropomorphic animal art so this more than qualifies. (The rest of this is what happens when I get loose with a computer and an internet connection.  For the record, I want a ban on all animal testing, no exceptions.  We have plenty of humans in this world and bad things sometimes happen to innocent people.  So why should horror be visited on those who cannot speak for themselves?  At the very least our useless, cruel, and foolish government should mandate the sharing of research data, a requirement that would effectively end animal testing.  Goering imprisoned those who tortured animals.  I would kill them). "An absolute and permanent ban on vivisection is not only a necessary law to protect animals and to show symp

Marching To A Very Different Drum!

Image
 "If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." https://youtu.be/-EAa67EHg3M You know who you are.   The above picture is a Jack Davis masterpiece.  The quote is from that useless beatnik Henry David Thoreau, Walden.

Snarled!

 Fishing does not come easily to rabbits, and mistakes are common.  Here everyone tries to make sense of a tangled line.  Eventually something will happen, but these two don't want to catch fish anyway.  The day is already fun enough!

In which the bunny is hypnotized.

Rollout

I have decided to switch gears and try to crack the children's illustrated book market.  I have re-drawn Billy so that he is a wonderful role model and genuine inspiration for all those kids who wish to make something of their lives.  He will become a free soul, happy and charismatic, instead of the neurotic, resentful, grudge holding, sexually deviant, alcohol and tobacco dependent violence prone scofflaw bunny that he is now.  I expect real interest from such luminaries as Highlights magazine and the Little Golden Books division of Random House.  No doubt Disney and others, such as Sesame Street, will be eager to get on board with this terrific new children's icon.  Here is our proof of concept prototype for this excitingly adorable rabbit, which will certainly put Richard Scarry et al. in the ninth circle of hell where they fucking well belong. Imagine the delight on your precious little angel's faces as they first dive into the Billy Bunny And His Pals
