I found my mojo
I've written here a few times about the crumbling of my sketchbooking and fun drawing practice. But it's always dormant, not dead, and good social times can bring it back out in minutes. Today I present a feast of drawings from my day at Stapled!, a small press event in Leeds. A flower needs water, I suppose. I've also included a nice one from yesterday evening (I think I was excited about today).
Unfortunately I did not take a picture of my new Suspiria poster, but if you've been to a poster fair recently, you know that another Suspiria poster is never far away. I've included my take on Jaws (I put these on my table in an area I titled "EXCLUSIVE DROPS!!!"), as I've noticed that a few artists seem to think they're up to the challenge of reimagining one of the most iconic illustrations ever. And good luck to them. Good luck.

What a day!
Primo stuff! JA has actually managed to make Garfield amusing!
I've never loved Garfield, but Shelley + mouse is just gorgeous!
John Allison does Mothman could be a good time
RE: Jaws poster Nailed it. No notes.
Mr Allison: In re: your Garfield poster, it may interest you to know that I recently survived an attempted Vanilla Ice concert at the local county fair, practically in our backyard. Naturally, the thought of V.I. performing with Garfield re-opens this entire trauma. Please add an "R" rating to your advanced humor and/or post a Suspiria poster. Yours, Danny
Brilliant, per usual!
Mr. Twin Peaks. That’s all I have to say.
Will someone explain to this Yank who is Tob and what is Riso?
I am sure the US has plenty of Tobs. I keep seeing this guy around!!! Tight beanie, round glasses, expensive clothes, shaved head, neat moustache. Hand tattoos? Riso is risograph printing. The US has that too! We could imagine that Tob is short for “Toby” but it might not be.
Garf arm wrestles Mr. C! Who will walk away with a broken ulna?!
The garmonbozia's on Mr C going home in an ambulance
Finally the Garfield+Riso team up I've been waiting for.
Mondo Dropth got me good
Fucking Tob
Ugh I know
Shelley + mouse = totes adorbs
All artistic considerations aside, I think there’s no question that Jaws would have been more existentially chilling if the shark was 4x the size of the boat and struck unsuspecting victims from the sky.
EXACTLY
Absolutely lost my shit at Garfield Tetris. I can't tell you if it's because of the build up to it, or if that one would stand alone.
The optimistic outcome is that Desmond simply stole someone’s car The pessimistic outcome is that someone thought he was worthy of having a driver’s license
Arguably both could be true...
