My Monday was very busy so I’m afraid I didn’t have time to write anything more polished or shorter than the video I’m posting here. This another over-the-shoulder view of my drawing a cartoon on the Samsung Note 10.1 and I’ve again provided some commentary. None of this is scripted, so I’ll have to ask you to excuse my stuttering, some terrible phrasing, and general ignorance and mispronunciations. However, I try to talk about cartoonists I enjoy and explain why I love the work of Robert Crumb, Ralph Steadman, Gerald Scarfe, Martin Rowson, Peter Brookes, Nicholas Bentley, Alex Gregory, Thomas Nast, Bruce Eric Kaplan and well as some of the old Punch cartoonists of the 1930. Even if watching me draw isn’t that interesting, I hope I at least say something to hold your attention.
It was also probably a good idea to record this whilst I can still speak. This post was timed to appear at exactly 9.10am, which was exactly the moment I’m due to sit in the dentist’s chair and have my finances probed. After that, I doubt I’ll be in the mood to blog. In fact, I’m considering getting out of town as soon as I’m out of the surgery. Manchester will be my small reward for actually going through with the appointment. I’m just hoping that I’ll need less than a dozen fillings and praying there’s no need for anything more involved that might mean putting my Samsung Note up for sale...
Just had my afternoon jazz cigarette while watching you draw, really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteAh, thank you. It really is good to know that there's somebody looking at all this stuff I post. From my side, I only see the spam merchants and web marketeers. ;)
ReplyDeleteExcellent, most enjoyable!
ReplyDeleteWas I the only one shouting "JUST LEAVE IT!" at the screen? :)
I'm laughing because I do that myself. You have to remember that I'm working on that image over days, in different places, sometimes distracted by people, sometimes alone with my thoughts and (lots of) self doubt. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I enjoy doing these videos.
ReplyDelete[…] Perhaps it’s just an English sensibility: the guy sounds so confident in his own voice when I sound like I should be playing a milkman in some grim kitchen sink drama from the […]
