Goofy #95 - Breathe

Here's another sketch done years ago for a local charity. There was a fun run/walk for the Lung Association and they wanted a "Breathe of Fresh Air" cartoon for T-shirts and other media. Hey, I'm always game to use my pens for a good cause. I think the image was used reversed with the guy facing to the left in most of the media.

Goofy #76f - The Bible

This final sketch ran multiple times in the ad campaign. The customer liked this one the best. It actually ran in the local Catholic newspaper too. This is the original inked sketch, when it ran in the newspaper, it was stated with Zipatone tints added.

Goofy #76e - The Bible

Here's the next bible story inspired sketch. Technically, it's not a true bible inspired thing, it's more of a biblical movie inspired thing. Ya gotta love Yul Brenner in the Ten Commandments! This sketch was inked, stated and had screen tints added before it ran in a local newspaper ad. One more divinely-inspired sketch in this series to go!

Goofy #76d - The Bible

This sketch was also used in a newspaper ad. There's a finished inked version someplace, but I didn't dig it up when I found these pencil sketches. I really like the pharoh in this one. Once again, the TRA-640 refers to a PC.

Goofy #76c - The Bible

This sketch is next in the Bible series and is based on the story of wise old King Solomon. This gag actually made it into a newspaper ad somehow. The TR-640 refers to a PC the customer was selling at the time, an 8086 I believe.

Goofy #76a - The Bible

All the cartoons this week will have a running theme. 20 years ago, when I was working at the ad agency, one of our clients was a local computer company. PCs were very new at the time and the customer wanted ads that pointed out the abilities of a personal computer. Our copy writers thought it would be a neat idea to use biblical era gags to sell the product and they threw the ball in my court to flesh things out. This is the series of ideas I came up with, some used, some not. This first sketch shows what can happen when instructions aren't clear or followed correctly.

Goofy #55 - Beer

This sketch I did for a series of advertisements for a local bar. The bar has long since closed, but the drawing remains. On the left is the original drawing and on the right is a photostatic copy shaded with Zipatone screen tints. Old school baby.
