Cartoon Museum Sketches

another trip to the Cartoon Art Museum over at SF, to work out my left biceps holding my notebook for hours. At some point, a group of 30-40 youngsters/students poured into the museum. All. At. Once. o_O;

Check out my copying skills (sarcasm). From left to right...

Moonshine Holler, another piece from The Thrilling Adventure Hour collection;
Cactoid Jim, Emilia Earheart: Fearlss Flyer, Captain Laserbeam

Colonel Tick-Tock, Sparks Nevada (should have longer legs..);

and, before the 1970s cartoons: Sir Gaby, Mutt & Jeff, Big George, Dennis the Menace

Li'l Delirium and Barnabas, Sandman;

The Endless and Death

an entire frame from City People Notebook: On-Timemanship,

by Will Einser, the "father of the graphic novel".

among other ones, I like the style of Sparks Nevada and Death, so sexy lookin'.

12 Famous People

Caricatures, my weakness. This assignment was good practice, though. I think. Lots of hybrids between realistic and caricature, at various degrees. Then for the last two, I did minimalistic cartoon caricatures with simple lines. Either way, see if you can recognize some of these faces.

Yay for large scanner!
