FLASHES FROM THE PAST!

A Twitter member isolated some of my drawings from the Boop comic. (Written by Joshua Quagmire, inked by Leslie Cabarga.)

From You-Know-What, cel setup now sold. No doubt courtesy of Ralph. Don't ask me why COOL WORLD was so bad. I know *that* it happened, not *why* it happened.

PICTURES FROM AN EXHIBITION

Well, the opening wasn't exactly bursting the rafters, but there was a steady stream of people who expressed fascination. "I am transfixed by this one", someone said about an abstract. Then the pair bantered about not paying this or that bill to buy it. Everyone that came had a different favorite, which is good. Means I'm not "bad" at anything I'm trying. Suddenly with the good lighting, my brush strokes made more sense. And the nudes met with a much more appreciative response than they did in L.A., where everyone was frightened or offended. It was a good night.

SHOWTIME...

The show is opening in three hours! It was even announced in The Herald Times. That I didn't angle for. This is the night of "Gallery Walk", the Fridays when interested parties jaunt from one gallery to the next. 

 

Thanks Everyone for your support over this turbulent year.

THE SHOCK OF THE NEW

A friend, an elderly lady, stopped by and asked to see my work. She had never seen it before. I tried playing it safe first (I thought) and showed her the blues singer. It got a slightly bemused lost-for-words reaction. "Oh, my..." Then she saw others in the room. It was like Elmer Fudd's reaction to Bugs "throwing fits". "Oh my gwacious...Oh my..." She was able to take a little solace in the smiling girl against yellow. Then she asked about my cartoon/comic work. What I showed her was G-rated, but it was the same thing. "Oh, ooh..." We're still friends, but since I'm not trying for to flummox people (almost the opposite), it's a little saddening to get that reaction. I don' wanna scare people, I jus' wanna be friendly.

A cel I was mailed to sign, missing the mouth level. "Someone ought to SHOOT the fellows that make these cartoons!!"

UPDATE: Hey! Turns out Chris *had* Robotnik's mouth cel allll the time!

A MIDNITE lineup over the years. Someone noted that my own characters often go "off model" within the same story. I just do what I feel is appropriate. I never drew a model, so going "off model" is impossible.

COMES ANOTHER WEEK...

I did this poster, now in the window of the Artisan Alley building where my show will be in a couple of weeks.

 Two more works...

From the "It's Nice to Be Noticed" Department: A divine mural by James Lloyd includes my character, Ginger (with an "MK" credit)!! Canada.

A drawing by "Ian V." of an 80s comic book character of mine, Midnite the Rebel Skunk. I am aroused.

Best, 
MK  

AT PRESENT

A new painting.

Done with leftover paint at end of day.

I found the opening of PSYCHIATRICKS a bit bare of human expressions, so I reworked it.

Here's the gallery's first announcement of my show in October!

LAST NIGHT

The sky was a beautiful color last night.

SUNDAY MORNING

Just woke up to this; could very well be finished.

I can be coaxed into doing a comic now and then if the price is right. Under no circumstances will I do them for free. 'Cause I should be "the future of comics", even though nobody admits it. (To be included in a future issue of "THE ADVENTURES OF BIFFLE & SHOOSTER" by my friend, Mike Kazaleh.)

Nice view. I actually drew it into a panel today.

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL

Here are the Crisp Imaging panels in stark b/w:

New abstracts. DECONSTRUCTION.

AVALANCHE.

Yours,

FASTER. SMARTER. BETTER.

A gig I'm completing for a printing company. These will be a poster display in the store. I was told I didn't have to use their pre-existing mascot, but I chose to because I think he works well with it. It illustrates the slogan: "Smarter. Faster. Better." I like ad work.

A QUICK ONE

ROBOTNIK DRAWS THE LINE:

This has been 'retweeted" 37 times in the last two hours.  It's great having someone who counts do the talking for you.

THOUGHT

All of a sudden, I am realizing how much of a sore thumb I must have been as a child (60s-70s), with my interests and dislikes. Kids today are fortunate. With superhero movies etc., it will never be as weird to be obsessed with cartoons as it was then. (Keeping in mind that the industry has since gone South (Korean), it's "lucky" I was born when I was.

STUDIO BOUND WEEKEND

Still some spots to be cleaned up, but I expect to be fully done by tomorrow. (Break time! Been looking too long.) A painting for the friend of a valiant lady, a karate teacher, who was injured in a traffic accident. That lady's favorite are purple elephants.

Its B&W beginnings.

Her story can be seen in this video. I found it inspiring, and am not one to use that word lightly.
