DOuG pRATt drawings
Here it is, the final sample from my original set.
This strip is my favorite of the bunch, for multiple reasons: I have a fondness for cartoons with rain; The acid rain idea makes it unusual; I like the sentiment about symbiosis; The umbrella not only takes advantage of Beckle’s hat gimmick, it resembles Batman’s cape; And, finally, I think the finished art came out all right.
The last old strip will appear tomorrow, and a new one will be posted on Sunday, although not in its final form. These are preliminary sketches for the second new installment.
An odd idea, and lacking in broad appeal, but that was the point.
Behold! The only still life I have ever drawn.
About ten years ago, having had nothing to do with art for ages, by chance a paying job came my way with an extremely tight deadline. I submitted this and, to my amazement, it was accepted.
Another tribute to classic cartoon violence!
How about some color? That’s a bad case of pink eye!
Another dated reference. Updating it with Neil deGrasse Tyson’s name wouldn’t have the same effect.
From an unfinished strip in the original run that I decided wasn’t going to work out.
The return of… THE VAMPIRE WALRUS!
It’s fun to do quick sketches and see which lines seem to work best.
