Guest Cartoon: Frank Hansen

Bearman Guest Cartoon: Frank Hansen

The interesting thing when I put out a call for guest cartoons is that there is always a surprise in my email inbox from someone I had not yet come across.  Frank Hansen is a cartoonist and illustrator.  He is preparing to launch his own comic in the near future but already has a vast collection of impressive illustrations on his site.

I really love how he is so adept at shading with the pen that he can color an image in just a few colors and it adds some warmth to the illustration.  I might have to try that one day but I don’t have the patience he does for many little lines.  Astute readers will notice the game Little Bear is playing.

Make sure to check out his work and his blog and give him lots of love here too.

Next up on Thursday isAidan Casserly of Scapula.

    Great artwork. I want to know where to get one of those Bearman video games.

    Very impressive, Frank! Hilarious expressions and wonderful use of character gesture.
    The ‘old-timey’ paper feel gives it that final, great touch.

    Very cool – I really dig the style in this one!
    I wonder if they’ve released Bear Man for Wii, too?! 🙂

    This is very nice and professional work, Frank. I cannot wait to see what comic frivolity you’re gonna come up with in the near future. You’re building a fan base already. 🙂

    And I wish I could see what that Bear Man game really looks like on TV.

    Having a video game based on you would be cool. BTW do you collect bear themed stuff?

    Neat drawing style, Frank. The little bear is really into his game.

    That’s fantastic artwork Frank. I am a raw amateur at cartooning & will be very happy if my cartoons get even half as good as yours in the distant future. As Bearman said the colour & detail you get with your shading is amazing.

    Yeah I wanna Bearman game too, but one suitable for Wii.
    How do you play it???
    I would like to suggest the following controller options;
    button A drinks beer
    button B eats pizza
    joystick left reaches for another beer
    joystick right reaches for another slice of pizza
    joystick forward belches
    joystick backwards farts
    shake Wii remote makes him vomit everywhere

    I’ve been loving the guest cartoons! I haven’t been able to comment on much though, because I never know quite how to comment with guest, unless I know them (it’s not like I can just cuss and stuff about YOUR work) and know what to say.
