Wrapped in Old Newspaper- Part 6

You may feel a pinch... of nostalgia from this old school spot illo from the short-lived Long Island Voice, the Village Voice's foray into Nassau County.

Happy Hellboy Day!

A typographic salute to Mike Mignola's horror hero, HELLBOY on this, his 20th anniversary.

HAPPY PANCAKE DAY!

Bringing back two of my favorite homages for Pancake Day!

The Flower Cosmic

An homage to Jack "King" Kirby, Superhero Comic Creator Extraordinaire, who departed for New Genesis 20 years ago today. I am fortunate enough to have met him once, and his work has permeated and enriched my life.

Reed-ing Mad-terial

Yankenstein's Monster

Dug up this somewhat Halloween-y cartoon from my old editorial cartooning days. This one never saw print. It was some kind of commentary on the public cost of the then-impending new Yankee Stadium.

Unliving Dolls

Just in time for Halloween, I unearthed these old sketches for Halloween-themed paper dolls. As I recall, they were going to be part of a seasonal fashion spread for one of the many free weekly newspapers that have long since joined the choir invisible.

1961!

Here's an idea that's been kicking around my head and sketchbook for years.

Tillboy

  The Right DANDY of Doom! This tip of one hat each to Rea Irvin's Eustace Tilley and Mike Mignola's wonderful Hellboy began as an (unsubmitted) entry to the New Yorker's annual Tilley contest a few years back. Halloween seems as appropriate a time as any to -um- resurrect him.

MAD-SQUERADE Part 2

Another Mad Men homage profile pic design from last year. It isn't strictly a Halloween toon, but I did dress as Batman several childhood Halloweens in a row. Batman is a trademark of DC Comics.

MAD-SQUERADE Part 1

"I do not drink....Old Fashioneds."  Have I mentioned how much I enjoy MAD MEN? I whipped this up as an avatar (profile pic, whatever) last Halloween.

Last Outhouse on the Left

Was that "BOO!" or "POO?" Talk about the Mummy's Curse! Happy Halloween!

Breaking the Walking Mad Bad Dead Men

 I'm a fan of the AMC programs Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and The Walking Dead, all three of which have featured extraordinary production design and instantly iconic advertising campaigns. Given the recent speculation that the costs associated with one show's production deal have affected the funds available for those of the other two, the following mashup occurred to me as a possible (if not serious) solution.

Superfrondrian

Oh. Like you didn't see THIS coming...

Supermondrian

Here's a little diversion, just for fun.

It's Ladle Than You Think!

Here's an old allegory that saw print in my One Man Thology mini.
