Project Blue Collar – Sonny sings the Blues

6-10-13-Bearman-Cartoon-Project Blue Collar Sonny Sings the Blues

 

Did another cartoon for my friends at Project Blue Collar that work to give attention to adopted dogs.   This one was fitting since their spokesperson er dog is named Sonny.  Sonny sings Cher’s song Half breed at a karaoke bar….get it?

Sorry I haven’t been visiting the blogosphere.  All my non work hours have been filled trying to edit my niece’s wedding video.  Ugh!!  I got out of the video editing work for a reason.  haha

    I read that little blurb at the bottom and thought it said you’d been busy eating your niece’s wedding video.

      David…blast from the past…you blogging again?

      1. David Fink Barrentine Avatar

        Yessir. I just started about a month or so back. I’ve been trying out just doing a small blog with my comic and doing three a week instead of tackleing 100 different things.

          Awesome…can’t remember if I have an update banner ad but feel free to send me one and I will add it.

            I’d have to make one. I’m working on a whole redesign right now so as soon as I get it finished, I’ll send it your way.

    Makes perfect sense and a nice thing to do for Project Blue Collar.
    And video editing is a lot of work good to see you in the blogosphere.

    This is one of my favorite songs of hers. Fab toon.

    Don’t you just love when you get roped into “helping” with things? See, I never think of you as a mush.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      I am always mush. What do you think of me? haha

    Sonny looks more like a Heinz (57 different varieties) than a half breed, Good one today, Your art is better with each new strip lately.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      90% of the strip was figuring out the best way to do the lights

    Nice work, Bearman… some great stage-presence for your friends’ work. 🙂
    Speaking of… so… you did video editing, too… in addition to being an extra in a few films? You totally work for / with Wes Anderson, don’t you?! 😉

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      I AM Wes Anderson. Why do you think I hate his work. I am my own worst critic

  10. SpilledInkGuy Avatar

    Also, ‘Speaking of… so…’
    Yeah. I have no clue what I was trying to do there.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Good that makes two of us

    Love it. Another beautiful project. 🙂
    And congrats to your niece on her wedding!

    I wonder how much Sonny had to drink before he agreed to sing karaoke?
    Great job!

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      How much does your husband drink before singing karaoke? Probably about the same.

  13. lisleman Avatar

    Funny. I like Cher and long ago when I was generations younger I saw them both in concert (they were still married then).
    Those that have never tried to edit video don’t understand. It’s very tedious.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedious is right. I am now on hour 33 and seeing the homestretch

  14. Jason Salas Avatar

    If Sonny and Cher were an act today, their biggest hit would be “I’ve got YouTube, Babe.” Nice work on the lights – transparent gradients, eh?

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      You know your way around photoshop don’t you..haha

  15. Binky Avatar

    Most of us are mutts.

    I never knew you used to edit videos. It can be rather tiring to cut everything just right.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      I cut the cheese wrong

  16. Dave Avatar

    I do get it 🙂

    Just don’t let that dog go skiing! Eh, wait. Too soon?

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      I didn’t get it at first and then….oh you are going to hell. haha

        in a handbag Dave … in a handbag.

  17. Bill Murphy Avatar

    Very clever connection there!

  18. Nate Fakes Avatar

    No duet, like ‘I Bark You, Babe’?

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      More like…I sniff your butt babe

    This is awesome Bearman, oh and while I am here I am so glad that you didn’t ask for any advice on the video editing, I mean one only has to take a look at one of my offerings and, well you know what I mean? Crap 🙁

    Have a brilliant Friday evening and a wicked weekend to follow, oh and congratulations to your niece and her new husband, I wish them both very well my incredibly talented cartoon drawing friend 🙂 🙂

      Thanks Andro. My problem is that I like it to be professional looking so 40 hours into the work and I can now say I am DONE DONE DONE woo hoo

    My mama says I’m a good Sonny so I Chered it.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Your momma didn’t have to Chaz you all over the house did she?

  21. frigginloon Avatar

    I’m guessing singing “How much is that doggy in the dumpster” was inappropriate? Great cause Bearman.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      It’s free, it’s free

  22. Dixie the Poodle Avatar

    A suitable song for a suitable Mutt. We Purebred dogs of distinction sing Missus Turner’s song “Simply The Best”

      1. Tony McGurk Avatar

        I agree, now if you’ll excuse me I have to go & prepare Dixie’s caviar for her lunch

        1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

          While you eat tuna

  23. Tony McGurk Avatar

    and he’s wearing a blue collar for the cause. Good boy Sonny!!!

  24. Tim Green Avatar

    For an encore he should sing”Who Let the Dogs Out!”

  25. DadaHyena Avatar

    He could have sung that ‘Shannon is gone’ song…hey, all dogs go to heaven, right?

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Shannon is gone song? Don’t know what that is

      1. DadaHyena Avatar

        A guy wrote a song about his recently-deceased dog. Look it up on YouTube.

    Cher and Cher alike!

    Love this one, Bearman! Quite like the coloured lighting in the background! Also amazingly good cause. Yer such a sweet softie! <3

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Pretty easy to do once I figured it out. Now onto step two and sharing.
