What's all this, then?

Since I'm not 100% sure what I'm going to do with this blog right now, I've decided to post some of the strange doodles and drawings I've kept in boxes, folders, and cabinets these past 30 years. A lot of these things were done while on the phone, or while testing pens, or out of sheer boredom. There won't be any rhyme or reason to these drawings. I'm just grabbing stuff from off the piles, scanning it, and adding it here. Think of it as a game of cartoon Russian roulette. The neat thing about the drawings is that each one has it's own history and background story. There will be plenty of bonus posts and topical additions as the mood strikes. Forewarned is forearmed.

'tis the season: Christmas Card Week, Part 3

Today's card is from way back in 1990! Once again, I don't have any hand-colored originals, but I do have scans of the inked line work. No extra work done on these, hand lettering and photo copies this time around.
The front features the nativity:

On the inside, the payoff:

Goofy #96- Eggvis



What's that? You say you want more Elvis? Well OK! Another King doodle done about 10 years ago. I loves me some Elvis.

Goofy #81 - Elvis Urp!



One again I mine that comedy treasure trove known as Elvis. I've got an uncomfortable preoccupation with the King, I don't know why. This doodle was done on a post-it about 15 years ago.

Goofy #53 - The King and a Baby



Here's a sketch I did for a company project requesting baby pictures. Everyone else submitted their real baby pictures, I submitted this one of Elvis and me as a baby. I used an old piece of board to get the yellowed effect. I have a definite preoccupation with Elvis, as you'll see with future drawings.
