Illustration Friday: Frozen


Illustration Friday: Frozen, originally uploaded by speartoons.

Webcomic of a dad and daughter. The daughter says, “I just realized your wardrobe is frozen in time.”

Every dad will one day face the disgust of his daughter. Fashion can play a big part of that. Fashion is just another way of saying, “What were you thinking?

I drew this cartoon for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “frozen.”

I drew comic in Adobe Illustrator CS2

Cartoonist/Illustrator Ricco Schacherl

Today, I discovered the work of Ricco Schacherl of Johannesburg, South Africa. He had a delightful cartoon for Illustration Friday’s word, “flying.”


I like how the cartoon shows the tension and hope in spreading your wings and flying. At the same time, the “kick me” sign shows it’s not easy spreading your wings.

Here’s the link to the site.

The Business of Children’s Illustration

Paige Keiser at the Fox in Socks blog has an interesting post on the business of children’s illustration. http://paigekeiser.blogspot.com/2009/10/5-quick-tips-to-getting-published-in.html

Not only is it her professional advice, but the advice of other pro illustrators. Illustration is a business. Sure, the artsy part of us loves to be free and unfettered. But if someone wants to make a living in the field, they have to put in the hard work just like any other business.
The post is chocked full of practical advice. I recommend checking it out.

Webcomic: I’m Flying!

Webcomic-Illustration Friday: Flying

Cartoon of injured boy. He says to another, “I learned even if it feels like you’re flying, it isn’t worth it to jump off a swing in mid air.”

Yes, I tried this a few times as a child. The swing is an unforgiving master. I got smacked in the back a few time. But I didn’t get any broken bones. I have no idea how I escaped that fate!

Germs’ Rights

Cartoon of a germ and a boy. The germ says, “Don’t be a germaphobe, kid. What did we ever do to you?… I mean, besides that illness thing?”
I drew this comic for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “germs.” How appropriate for a season in our lives where Swine Flu and hand sanitizers rule the day. Be sure to sneeze on your sleeve, please. Ignore those germ protests. They may have strength in numbers, but we have flu shots and Tamilflu
