MORE POLITICAL CARTOONING




I'm back with another fun political cartoon.
Here's a statement about a certain President, and I'll leave it to your own perceptions.
If you love the guy, than you can perceive it as sincere.
If you hate the guy, you can perceive it as sarcastic.
To find out for sure what I think, you can

POLITICAL CARTOON QUICKIES



Political cartoons are fun because you get to draw caricatures and they don't need to be flattering,
so that's always a plus...and you get to say something important and/or express an opinion.

Most of us here in the good ol' USA aren't too happy with President Obama's decision to involve the country in an undefined and ambiguous "war" that isn't being called a "war" in Libya...

...another perversion of the great Jack Kirby's artwork, 
where I change the dialogue to amuse no one but myself.

BOOK COVER AND INTERIOR PAGE DESIGN



Here are some graphics created as a presentation for a book about alien abduction.

What we see here are the front and back cover image, the first page after the cover (single page - right facing), and the subsequent double gatefold pages (left and right pages), laid out in a sequential design to illustrate an alien abduction, before, during, and after. As the book is opened, the abduction events are played out in sequence, page by page, leading the reader and setting the stage for the rest of the book.

BLACK AND WHITE PRELIM LINE ART FOR "ABE AND THE ALIEN" POSTER PRINTS - Part 2



Here I go presenting my preliminary line art for my alien character, as featured in my popular poster print set
"ABE AND THE ALIEN", now on sale (see sidebar). This is part 2 where I highlight the two main characters B & W artwork, before I lavished glorious color and details and several realistic effects using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. The full color, full sized 11" x 17" poster print is as stunning as it is beautiful as it is high-larious to see upon your very own wall...order your own 2-print set before they are sold out.

Set in some bizarre alternate universe, this alien lizard spaceman is a twisted surrogate for well-known Lincoln assassin, John Wilkes Booth. As conceived by my considerably altered gray matter, this alien is in many respects an homage to the considerable Wally Wood space operas that appeared in various 1950's EC comics, as well as a touch of MAD magazine and underground influence.

Good Lord willing, there is a story written and pages laid out that will one day be completed and published, that is based on my original cover art concept. I will tell you more as this developes.

As you'll notice, I didn't need to finish the alien's entire body, meaning his legs (and tail?), since he would be depicted as emerging from the shadows behind Abraham Lincoln, preparing to deliver the fatal shot.
Click the image to relish all of my Art Adams-y Bill Stout-ish nit-picky details.
Enjoy.
