Got to do another cover for Beano, and it hits the stands this week! Here’s a sneak of it!
Again, I be rusty, but here was my first 20 min life drawing in over a year!
It wasn’t for a long time, but luckily it has picked up for me. The local comic shop has been holding drawing sessions, so I’ve been trying to…
Sorry for the long absence, but last year turned out to be quite the pressure cooker. From a couple of difficult mini series, to my new position on…
Colors for this week’s Beano. You’ll have to pick it up to see all my swiped shots from “The Shakespeare Code” episode of Dr Who, and what the…
This week the Bash Street Kids are at the Rose Theater in London… eek! Shakespeare must be rolling in his grave with those rug rats running around.
Here are the colors for the panel from before. Aren’t those glasses fabulous?
The Beano has a cast of characters longer than your arm, and some are just a riot to draw. This week’s strip has Mrs Yodel, the school secretary,…
There should be an activity page in this week’s issue, involving Teacher. Here are the pencils for the final that led into this post.

I really enjoyed the design of the antagonist in “Hare Less Wolf” (1958), and you can see hints of Freleng’s future “Pink Panther” design, which would come less than…
The debate over the drill sergeant’s use of vocabulary aside, the short “Forward March Hare” (1952) is another class in design from Chuck Jones. I rarely see this…
I’ve mentioned my love for Filmation’s Groovie Goolies, from the dumb puns to the dad jokes; yet it’s always the character designs I come back to. Even though the animation…
Robert McKimson, and his brother Charles, don’t get enough credit in the WB universe, in my opinion. I admit they didn’t experiment as the other directors did, like…
