Post a Comment*Jim,
Love it! Such a great timeline. My Dad would have loved it. He was a timeline freak, and was always creating ones for groups, churches, schools or family. It is just amazing that you captured this idea in one graphic image, simplifying his reign. Love the eye expression, and typography too!
Very cool, very interesting.
Fantastic caricature, Jim. And as usual, the lettering is terrific. You noted in an earlier posting that you letter either with a D5 nib (which the Speedball company has discontinued!) or, as looks to be the case here, your pigma microns. How do you get it to look so nice with the microns? I find the emphasized/bolder lettering to be especially troublesome to do well.
Great cartoon. Lettering is always good. Looks like the 'Predicts Demise of Castro' was written once and copied and pasted for the others along the timeline. (who cares, right?) Bottom line, your work is tremendous. I have four of your originals from years 1980, 1995, 2004 and 2006. By far my favorite pieces. Looking forward to getting more.
Let the man copy and paste if he wants. Geez! :) One of these days some uber-purist is going to get all upset because Jim doesn't individually draw the cartoon into every paper by hand. LOL
I mean, really people, when you have a memo to send around the office do you write each one out by hand? No, you copy it, either on a Xerox or by email. Let an accomplished artist (who just celebrated 30 years here) use whatever shortcuts he feels appropriate.
Nobody was knocking him for the lettering bit, one was asking what he used for lettering, one mentioned lettering was copied but said 'who cares' and by the looks of it, is a fan who collects Jim's original work.
With today's software, find me someone who DOESN'T doctor images in some way to make the job easier! It's just another tool no matter how it's used.
Interesting - in this case, I think the copy/paste is more appropriate to the cartoon - the presidents changed, but the predictions were exactly the same!
A splendid opportunity to convey the desire that American citizens be allowed to travel freely to Cuba. Havana should be a lawful destination for any American wishing to pay the island a visit.
The best way to spread the benefits of freedom and our Countries greatness is by making "citizen travelers" freely appointed emmissaries.
Canadians can and do make the trip, there is no boycott, eh.
When will Washington wake up?
