I've written here a few times about the crumbling of my sketchbooking and fun drawing practice. But it's always dormant, not dead, and good social times can bring it back out in minutes. Today I present a feast of drawings from my day at Stapled!, a small press event in Leeds. A flower needs water, I suppose. I've also included a nice one from yesterday evening (I think I was excited about today).

Unfortunately I did not take a picture of my new Suspiria poster, but if you've been to a poster fair recently, you know that another Suspiria poster is never far away. I've included my take on Jaws (I put these on my table in an area I titled "EXCLUSIVE DROPS!!!"), as I've noticed that a few artists seem to think they're up to the challenge of reimagining one of the most iconic illustrations ever. And good luck to them. Good luck.

The optimistic outcome is that Desmond simply stole someone’s car The pessimistic outcome is that someone thought he was worthy of having a driver’s license

Absolutely lost my shit at Garfield Tetris. I can't tell you if it's because of the build up to it, or if that one would stand alone.

All artistic considerations aside, I think there’s no question that Jaws would have been more existentially chilling if the shark was 4x the size of the boat and struck unsuspecting victims from the sky.

Shelley + mouse = totes adorbs

John Whitley

Certainly presaging the Total Horror of Sharknado, to be sure.

Fucking Tob

Mondo Dropth got me good

Jeremy Impson

Finally the Garfield+Riso team up I've been waiting for.

Garf arm wrestles Mr. C! Who will walk away with a broken ulna?!

scarygoround

The garmonbozia's on Mr C going home in an ambulance

Rimbo (he-him)

would that be the cynical idealist outcome

Chris J. Zähller

Will someone explain to this Yank who is Tob and what is Riso?

Brian Durcan

We're gonna need a boat with a bigger roof

I am sure the US has plenty of Tobs. I keep seeing this guy around!!! Tight beanie, round glasses, expensive clothes, shaved head, neat moustache. Hand tattoos? Riso is risograph printing. The US has that too! We could imagine that Tob is short for “Toby” but it might not be.

Mr. Twin Peaks. That’s all I have to say.

Mr Allison: In re: your Garfield poster, it may interest you to know that I recently survived an attempted Vanilla Ice concert at the local county fair, practically in our backyard. Naturally, the thought of V.I. performing with Garfield re-opens this entire trauma. Please add an "R" rating to your advanced humor and/or post a Suspiria poster. Yours, Danny

I had assumed Toby. And I thought it /might/ be risograph? My mistake was assuming this was a particular person and not an archetype. Thanks for clarifying.

RE: Jaws poster Nailed it. No notes.

Tudza

Are you saying Toby or not Toby? That is my question.

TheTurtleMoves

John Allison does Mothman could be a good time

Jason Clements

I've never loved Garfield, but Shelley + mouse is just gorgeous!

Primo stuff! JA has actually managed to make Garfield amusing!
