Something weird I did last week just for kicks.
Someone just posted a complete set of scans from 1952 Frank Tashlin’s “How to create cartoons” and it’s adorable.
It’s worth a look, here is the link.
One of the many reasons I’ve been following Wulffmorgenthaler strips for years.
Doing this reminded me something that happened when I was in college.
In the university I went at the time, it was mandatory to take one semester of law and my teacher was a very flashy and icky lawyer that loved to brag about his high profile clients.
One of his first “tests” for us “that didn’t had a clue about law” was to make a list of the fundamental rights we could remember and in my list I put freedom of speech.
After that, he made fun of me and told everyone in class that, there are more fundamental rights than that one.
I don’t remember well what happened after, if we debated about it or not… and I might be imagining reading in some paper about him going to jail for being related to illegal drug trading, probably.
What I do remember well, is that freedom of speech is a fundamental right even if he thought it was a stupid right and I thought he was a moron.
Boring anecdote off.
So today this became a shirt you can buy at Design by Humans and it would make really happy Jonah Block and I if you make it part of your wardrobe.

I remember a time when watching this used to excite me because a film was about to start.

30 Things To Look For in an Illustration Rep
This pretty much explains many of the reasons why I decided to fire my last rep and try to work solo until I find a decent human being to do the job well and respecting my interests.
That was more than a year ago and I’m still working by myself.
Please read it:
I recently had a very interesting exchange with a fellow illustrator about reps, so I thought I’d share some of what we talked about here.
I don’t think illustrators necessarily need representation. I’ve said before: An illustrator without a rep is STILL an illustrator. But a rep without illustrators is just someone with nice business cards. (I sound like a big jerk there, and I’m sorry. If you’re a rep I’m sure I’ll hear from you and that’s totally cool.)
