Another doggie

Another doggie for the client. They wanted "angular", less "organic roundness"!

Fathersday dads..

I made these cartoon dads for my grandfather. He's going to use them for fathersday cards or something. My little homage/ripoff of the Hanna-Barbera style, invented by the brilliant Ed Benedict. I suppose there's a bit of Simpsons in them aswell. Hmm..

Cartoons can make you think..

I just read this great post by Eddie Fitzgerald about how cartoons that are funny and imaginative can (by their very inherent nature) stimulate a positive influence in kids. It seems so obvious to us smart people, but sometimes the really thick-headed people need to be reminded of this fundamental fact of life. Cartoons are meant to be funny and full of wild and imaginative fun. That's why they call it a CARTOON! Kids like cartoons for this reason. I grew up watching cartoons (and still do), and I'm a smart and decent human being.
