A Reference That Needs No Explanation

     Probably the best known splash panel of all time.  Eisner was the tops..  Sorry I had to do this with a neurotic, hard-drinking rabbit but, hey, its what I do.  Deal with it.

A High Wind In Garfield

Image
     The wind ripped my false roof off last night.  I have a corrugated tin roof in an attempt to buffer the "sun's anvil" in the summer.  This is me about 9:30 a.m. That is my cat General Jinjur, and not an anthro at the window.  I went back inside and had some instant coffee.  If I can just stall long enough, I'll be dead and won't have to constantly fix every goddamn thing I own.  I think I was supposed to die leading a bayonet charge, but I quit the Corps 'cause I was going to be a rich, famous author.  Now I've outlived my value to society and have to untangle an antenna when I get home. 

Sunday Art Production

     Here I am mixing plaster for some of my brother's sculpture molds.  He has an opening March 1st at Pig Liquors in San Antonio.  I got gang pressed into pouring extra heads.  The balloons are some he took a marks-a-lot to for a birthday party.

For You Jacobites

      "And man, O!", he cried in a kind of ectasy, "Am I no a bonny fighter?" (After Lynd Ward.)  This is from the siege of the roundhouse sequence in "Kidnapped" by R.L.S.

David Was A Giant Killer (You'll Be One Too!)

     It is a glorious, lovely Sunday here in the Lone Star Prefecture.  Time for a classical interlude.  This is fan art.

My Pencil and Paper Case

Image
    I'm more than a little desperate for copy today.  This is my plastic art case that I went to work on late one night, and the more I draw on it the more I screw it up.  Knowing when to walk away is a real talent.  The other side has my address on it.  This stunning artwork is only equaled by Bernini's David.  Can I come live with you?

First Attempt Operation Castor

     When I got the idea to do a comic based on events in Indochina 1953-4, I drew a prototype cover and intro and then promptly recognized that I could do better with practice.  Originally my hero was a cat anthro, then I decided to make him a rabbit for story purposes.  One week later I read Usagi Yogimbo and I thought I could not copy an accomplished artist.  After re-drawing everything I decided that nobody owned white rabbits so I stuffed all this in a box and blew it off.  I've kept the rabbit character 'cause they are fun to draw.   This was done in April last year when I started drawing anthros.
