Description I've been drawing in a sketchbook recently.

The first one is named:
"Death may indeed have numerous guises, but he always has a black angry mouth."
The second:
"And I squinted into the darkness on my way home, but there was probably nothing there."
The third:
"In memory of poor old Tomkins, whose mind fell open while sleeping."

I can't really comment about these, other than to say that they're the first drawings I've done in many months. It felt nice to be drawing again.

Yes, the murky turd-coloured water certainly performed it's magic. This is a fantastic trio, or triptych, or tri-whatever-it-is. Awesomeness.

this reminds me of some old (maybe dutch?) paintings i saw a while ago depicting all kinds of poxes and biblical punishments. awsome.

maybe Albrecht Durer? he's a nice sort of artist. his etching of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is monumental. thanks.

Schlammer In reply to flying-colours [2006-12-26 13:16:32 +0000 UTC]

how awful! but thanks for the ceremonial farewell, I guess. I do think falling off the earth is a tremendously exciting idea, however, I am okay. ta, dear.

if i figure out how to break gravity and succeed in falling off the earth,
i'll be sure to send a message in a bottle back to you, so you can too.
space ought to be lovely this time of year.

Great attention to detail! These really must be fully viewed to appreciate all the "little extras."

On the first page, I love the fellow with the peg leg and the cannons for his eyeballs!

Sure there isn't something in the water "Down Under?" Good to see a new submission, Schlammer!

I'm tellin' ya, editorial cartooning, dude...

thankyou much. cannon-eyes is War. well, as page three hints at, I sort of let mind fall onto the page for a bit. the water down here is just great; chlorinated, flourinated, mineralised. but I drink bottled water anyway..
cheers.

Hmm dare you to switch this as your major work.

Fabulous crosshatching, colours, style, fuck you for being brilliant my artistic one

Schlammer In reply to Luscious-Llama [2006-12-17 04:01:08 +0000 UTC]

as it is, the cross-hatching isn't fabulous, in fact it's intentionally shit, as is all of the illustration.
thankyou lanelle.

Oh my, Sam goes dark and twisted! Itall looks like some massive load of happy jammin though, I like it! I'd like to make friends with the man who has cannons within his eyesockets. He just look like a load of fun. We could cover eachothers backs, build sand-castles on the beach, arrange milk n cookie parties. I bet we would have fun ya know! Anywho good comeback you do indeed know how to kick some the butt.

Schlammer In reply to BarbaPappa [2006-12-14 03:27:22 +0000 UTC]

guns-for-eyes is named War. he may befriend you, you might even profit from him. but any association with him will probably ultimately lead to your utter economic and existential ruin, with a complete breakdown of your social infrastructure and the integrity of your foreign policy. also, people won't like you much any more.
and thankyou!
