ART

Mashed Strips

Something I've done a lot of for Wizard and ToyFare magazine were these mash-up comic strips where I'd take popular genre characters from comics, sci-fi, and draw them in the style of a classic newspaper comic strip. Most of the gags and strip ideas were generated by the editorial staff and I was just hired to illustrate them, but a few were ideas I pitched myself. They were pretty fun and emulating (or at least doing a passable likeness) of the original art styles was a real challenge.

yeah there's something about the repetition of cartooning for many years that drives cartoonists into alcoholism/insanity/oblivion. Far Side, Calvin & Hobbes, Bloom County...

These are about as funny as those 'Genre Movie' films by the Waynes brothers. Some how, meaningless and irrelevant pop culture references became jokes.
