OK - here we go then with a selection
of some of the various cartoons I
have been working on at home.
Please note, before anyone starts
thinking of slapping any legal papers
in my hands, that none of these works
are for sale. I am not trying to claim
anyone's right's to them.
They are simply for pleasure,
to show what else I have been doing,
and that they are all destined for
the walls of my local children's
hospitals and hospice.
Each one is painted on hardboard
with the squarer cartoons being
2'x2' in size. The smaller ones
are 2'x18". It is quite surprising
just how many you can cut out
of an 8'x4' sheet!
As is my usual method of operation,
they are all created by giving the
surface a couple of coats of gesso
to give me a good surface on which to
paint. Each coat being sanded before
the next is applied.
It is only my personal opinion,
but when doing these, I try and use
the paint straight from the tube
without any mixing. I believe that
it helps to give that bright, bold
appearance that really helps
to define a cartoon.
I have tried to give a good selection
of work - those that appeal to most
people over time, and hope that I have
been able to do that.
None of these images are mounted in
any way, nor do they have any frame
or supports.
I do hope you all enjoy them, and that
at least one of your favourites is
included somewhere.
Below are a set of Bratz - just for my
granddaughter - Chloe!
