These are drawings I did of our trip to NYC back in the late 70s. The upper left picture at the Marvel office with Tom Orzakowski an amazing comic book letterer and Dean Motter, an amazing artist who collaborated with Ken on many comic projects, he's in my first book. The next picture is at Times Square, the next is at a great restaurant. Next row. we went to a Marx Bros. play then stayed in a creepy hotel. Bottom left we're on the top of the World Trade Centre, then off to Blooming Dales and because we couldn't afford a cab in those days, we took the subway. New York was pretty run down back then but it was still a fascinating city to visit.
I 'm putting these drawings in my graphic novel to show my early attempt at visual narrative. They were really more like illustrated snapshots of our trip, in the format of SX70 photos. Ken always took a camera were ever we went but I wanted something different, so this is what I came up with. Pictures without words in my own simple style. |
Welcome to my blog! I want to share what I've been up to lately. The image above, which is the wraparound cover for Scrappy Jack a book I wrote and illustrated. It's a biography of my dad, who had plenty of stories to tell and he lived to be 100 years old. The original version called "So, That's That!"was given to him on his 100th birthday many years ago. That's me and my brother, dad, and two sisters in the junkyard where I grew up. The best playground any kid could ask for!
