Sara Mena draws Bearman Cartoons

One of my new friends I found on Google Plus is Illustrator Sara Mena.  She is one of those artists whose work I am constantly in awe of.  Her line work and coloring is just amazing.

The other day she posted that she was heading to CARNAVAL (for the uninformed it is like Mardi Gras but in Brazil and way more out there).  Joking as if I read it as if she were going to the “carnival”, I asked her to bring me back some Cotton Candy.  So a few days later to my amazement this image popped up in my stream.

You can follow Sara on Google Plus or Twitter.

Also this week I did a guest cartoon for QuarterBar where I did a mash up of one of his photos and added my cartoon touch to it.  Check it out here.

Guest Cartoon: Scapula

Guest Cartoon The Lamest and Xmas Cheer

The Christmas gifts keep going. Before getting his site hacked earlier this year, Dr Faust ran the site http://www.thelamest.com/.   His site was full of funny lists and lame things people do.  But I didn’t know he could draw.   Blown away by his Occupy North Pole guest cartoon.  (Click the image to see all the detail)  Hurry back and keep drawing J.

The next day I checked my email to see some Christmas cheer from Dawn at Zorphbert and Fred Comic.

The image depicts Dawn, her husband Rick and their dog April in a classic Grinch who Stole Christmas scene

Thanks so much to both.  Be safe out there everyone!

Redneck Toenail Dryer

So there IS a story behind this Nate Fakes original cartoon.  Nate Fakes of Mad Magazine, Break of Day and commenting here fame was having an ebay auction where the winner would get a custom cartoon created of anything they wanted.

Well timing was good because I just had a cartoon worthy experience with the lovely wife.  My wife had just got back from a pedicure to scrub all the debris and fungus off her feet (just kidding honey – not that she reads my blog anyway) and went to get dressed for dinner with our friends.  She came downstairs looking beautiful in her black dress and yet was complaining that due to the humidity her toenails wouldn’t dry.

The next thing I know this person, who hates the cold and keeps our house in the mid 70′s in the winter, was sitting on the kitchen floor for 10 minutes with her feet in the freezer!  After five minutes, I snapped a picture that subsequently made the rounds with all our friends and family.   Thankfully she puts up with me.

But of course, I couldn’t let it end there.  When I saw Nate’s plea for bids I jumped at the chance to have it immortalized in cartoon form.  And this is the result.

Nate is doing another auction this week for a custom cartoon so go check it out and follow Break of Day on Facebook to keep updated on new cartoons and future auctions.
