  • Vanessa Ives – Penny Dreadful

    Vanessa Ives – Penny Dreadful

    Vanessa Ives Penny Dreadful Cartoon

    Vanessa Ives, played by Eva Green,  is a central figure in Showtime’s “Penny Dreadful” Series.  For those not familiar, the series puts all of famous monsters from literature (Frankenstein, Dorian Gray, Werewolf, Dr Jekyll, Dracula) in Victorian London (yet in this season, the central characters have been pushed out to their own story lines outside of London in many cases).

    Eva Green’s portrayal of Vanessa Ives can be both chilling and make you feel bad for her.  In this season, Dracula is playing the long game to get her into his lair.  Yet as good as the series is, it seems to get no love in the first two seasons from the Emmys.   And it hasn’t gone unnoticed (see here and here)

  • Robin Williams Cartoon Quote

    Robin Williams Cartoon Quote

    Robin Williams Tribute Cartoon by Bearman Cartoons

    Actor Robin Williams passed away yesterday from an apparent suicide.  Originally I was going to draw him meeting up with his mentor and friend Jonathan Winters.   But then I came across this quote.

    You’re only given a little spark of madness.  You mustn’t lose it.

    It reminds me of the basis of the movie Hook.  where Peter must once again find his youthful spirit.  It is that spark that allows us to dream, to see beyond our current situations to brighter days.  Sadly maybe the real life Peter lost this for a minute too but sadly it was too late to refind it.   Interesting Williams was also quoted as saying:

    In America they really do mythologise people when they die.

    May his family find comfort in the outpouring of sympathy of anyone who was impacted by Robin in any way.

  • Mick Jagger Can’t Get No Satisfaction

    Mick Jagger Can’t Get No Satisfaction

    5-12-14-Bearman-Cartoons-Mick-Jagger-Satisfaction-Caricature

    Mick Jagger can’t get no satisfaction but he sure can sing it even now in his 70’s.  Way back in 1975 during an interview with People magazine (when he was only about 31) Mick proclaimed “I’d rather be dead than sing Satisfaction at 45.”   So of course I had to draw a caricature of Mick Jagger in a meme along with that familiar quote.

    In my teens I can picture thinking about people 15-20 years older and thinking to myself “I will no longer do that when I am THAT old”.  Now you look at whatever your age is and think damn I am still young enough to pull it off.  Mick still struts it like a peacock without needing a cane yet so keep at it as long as you can Mick.

  • Editorial Cartoon: Mitt Romney Indecisive

    Bearman Cartoons Mitt Romney Indecisive

    The Cartoonist Studio Editorial Cartoon Contest continues and I made it to week TWO!  Thanks to all for voting.  Click the image above or here to go to the voting.  You should do a search of “Bearman” and my cartoon will come up front and center and then vote.  Some people were clicking the link and then accidentally voting on the first thing that popped up.  Unfortunately no way to direct link to my cartoon.  Again, as long as I stay in the contest, there will be two editorial cartoons a week to vote on – Mondays and Thursdays.   Oh and you can vote multiple times in each round if you want (resets every six hours) until EOD  Saturday.

    It seems like every presidential election cycle their is a candidate the press/pundits like to point out is wishy washy or indecisive in some way.  John Kerry was known as the flip flopper and now the mantra has been passed down to Mitt Romney.  I was reading this quote from Leo Tolstoy which inspired today’s editorial cartoon.  Tolstoy was a Russian writer in the 1800’s who is famous for writing War and Peace and also inspiring non violent movements such as used by Gandhi and Martin Luther King.

    I don’t mind a politician changing his mind on issues.  I guess it is better than standing your ground without being able to be persuaded.  But changing your mind is a far cry from consistently being indecisive.
