    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.

  • Guest Cartoon: MJ Cartoonist

    Editorial Cartoon: MJ Cartoonist

    Today kicks off Holiday Break 2010 where I will be out of pocket for the next few weeks.

    I got such a great response to my call for guest cartoons that I will be posting three days a week for the next two weeks.  Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.  First up is MJ.  MJ is both a fellow editorial cartoonist for the National Free Press and also has his very own strip Welcome to the Jungle (it has nothing to do with the Bengals).

    I love how his Christmas lights seem to shine on the page and how the ice has frozen over the edge of the cartoon.  Thanks MJ and here’s hoping I don’t find a “dump of coal” in my fireplace come Christmas morning.

    Here is the full list of Guest Cartoons and when they will appear.  As I won’t be around please support all their hard work by leaving comments, visiting their sites and spreading the word on Twitter, Reddit, Facebook etc.

  • Cartoon Roundup

    Metal Jaw Comic

    So it looks like I am everywhere this week. I already posted about the guest cartoon I did for Faraday the Blob in honor of the birth of Alan Ryan’s son. Well Roland Perez has decided to sperm one up him by taking a break as NUMBER SEVEN named Samuel was just born.  So I did a guest cartoon for his cartoon,  Z&G (Zombie and Ghost) which you can…

    Check out the Z&G Guest Cartoon Here.



    Life According to Tony

    Then Tony of “Life According to Tony” (formerly the YNOT blog and 20 other sites when the Tazmanian couldn’t decide what he wanted to be, posted a new cartoon of ME!!  Well not exactly me but of my beautiful green haired gravatar.  So you can…

    Check IT out here.



    Finally I wasn’t going to post this because it has NOTHING to do with me.  I begged and pleaded to do the voice over (heck I would have even done the girl part) but Aidan was having nothing of it.  Anyway…he posted a 3 part video series of his comic Scapula on YouTube (I am sure he got rights to that song…heh hem).  Here is part one:



  • Guest Cartoon: Faraday the Blob

    Faraday the Blob stars one of those lawn elfs that everyone has around their garden and a blob of green snot.  Well OK neither is really the case, but the toon is too hard to explain (but funny as hell).  So just check it out.

    Alan Ryan the mastermind behind Faraday the Blob is on paternity leave.  He just produced a bouncy blob of a boy named Dara.  Being of Irish descent Alan let me know that Dara is an old Irish name that mean Oak Tree.  What he may not know is that in Hebrew it means “pearl of wisdom” and in Persian it means “Wealthy”  So in honor of this future strong, rich and smart lad, I created a guest cartoon for Alan.

    Check out my toon here!



  • Guest Cartoon For Bo Lumpkin

    The hardest working man in webcomics, Bo Lumpkin, has burnt himself out trying to manage two different cartoon websites:  bolumpkin.com and Gatorhead.  I love his one shot takes on life that he tends to post on Gatorhead.  It’s stuff you don’t think about but when you read it know it is so true.

    So I did a cartoon for him as a placemark while he is on his break.  Check it out.

  • Guest Cartoon: Zorphbert and Fred

    Zorphbert and Fred

    There are many cartoonists who I am jealous of for their talent.  One of them is Dawn Griffin of Zorphbert and Fred fame.  The depth that her cartoon has in mere gray scale is amazing and her line work is tops.

    Well Dawn is getting married and she is going to be busy for a while so she created a guest registry for cartoonists to depict different wedding scenes.  She is starting at the bottom with mine on “Breaking the Glass”.  So go check it out and leave her many comments to show what I lack in talent I make up in a loyal fan base.

    And keep checking back over the next month as you will see many other Bearmaniacs joining in the fun including Bo Lumpkin on Friday, Ken Drab, Todd McElmurry and Byron Wilkins.

  • Guest Cartoon at Addanac City

    So back in May or June, George Ford begged and pleaded that he was soooooooo busy moving (or some other BS) and he needed guest cartoons.  Being the good friend that I am, I quickly whipped up a cartoon for him.

    For some reason he felt, that his precious 5 month long story line couldn’t be interrupted and my priceless artwork sat on the dust piles.  That is until now.

  • Guest Cartoon: 1977 The Comic

    Byron Wilkins of 1977theComic is always supportive of my calls for guest cartoons here so I jumped at the chance to do one for his band (really it is a band) of 70’s lovers, drinkers, and stoners.

    Check it out!!!

  • Movie Poster – Dressed for Success & Scapula

    To finish out the guest cartoons we are doing a double post.  First up is Dress for Success from Chris Howard and Jeff Wason.  Dress for Success is a story arc comic that doesn’t feel like a long form comic as the writers keep the dialogue to a minimum or don’t bother using any at all.  Check out the archives to go through the story.  Here is how Chris describes it:

    Dressed For Success is the story of Alex Corbett and Walter Andrewkowski, two guys thrown together by chance, now making their way in a crazy universe one adventure at a time. All the while trying to stay one step ahead of the mafia and with the hopes of turning a profit. Begun in the 90’s during the Indie boom, DFS is back on the web and ready for new adventures. As with our earlies stories, we produced a series of movie parody posters. Most were just for fun and to tease people before we started our new story, but the Crystal Skull poster was actually the title page for our first new story, Mississauga Jay and the Lost Shrine of the Osars. The Hangover parody proved very popular, and could lead into an actual story in the future. Alex and Walter have traveled back in time once already, and an even more convoluted messed up time story with Philip, (the guy in the back) helping them wouldn’t be out of the question. The baby Mafia alien is a total wild card. 

    All the parody posters are viewable here: http://egestacomics.com/parody-posters/

    Aidan Casserly Rocky Horror Show Scapula Spoof for Beartoons.com

    Rounding out the Guest Movie Posters we return to Aidan Casserly of Scapula fame in his rendition of Scapula ala The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

    Thanks to all my Guest Cartoonists for helping out during my break.  Hope you readers have enjoyed it.

  • Movie Poster – Roland Perez of Metal Jaw Comics

    Metal Jaw Comics Guest Cartoon on Beartoons.com

     Today’s Guest Cartoon Movie Poster comes from Roland Perez (navy man) of Metal Jaw Comics.   Now if you don’t immediately get what movie Roland is spoofing, click here for the original.  I remember seeing posters for this movie but have never actually seen Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.   The story is to expand the exploits of two minor characters in Shakespeares play Hamlet.  I hate Shakespeare so I am going to have to take your word that this is a good movie Roland (even if it is a spoof)

    Rolands comic Z&G focuses on a Zombie and a Ghost.  Isn’t it cool how he was able to include the cartoon logo in his spoof of the movie.

    Check back on Thursday for a guest cartoon from Chris Howard of Dressed for Success.
