I thought I'd better do a Gerard dream for this one as I seemed to draw a blank on anything else. I was also confused as to which medium to use...so I did two drawings this week in different mediums...I could call one of them a rough and one of them finished, but I won't as neither are finished and both are fairly rough!
Pues Hombre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteA mí me gustan los dos!!! (me agradan ambos)
I think Gerard is a child ha ha!
Eh ... I would not want to travel on one of those planes! (:O
Gracias Hombre! Tampoco queria estar en los aviones!!!
DeleteBoth work quite well--Gerard is tall and contained nicely in both. Although I have to tell you how it reminds me of the days when I worked in a very tall building in New York. I was on such a high floor that it was not unusual to be above the clouds. Sunny above, raining below. Come to think of it, Gerard kind of looks like some of the guys I worked with ;)
ReplyDeleteA high flyer like Henny!
DeleteOh... I remember this movie; "The amazing Colossal Man". He really tears things up until the army shoots him and he falls into the river. He's shot so dead he doesn't come back up until the sequel. It's good to see ol' Gerard again. Gerard would pop up immediately if he fell into the river.
ReplyDeleteSequels are never the same if the main character is dead!
DeleteI don't see anything controversial about this post that we can argue about, so that's a new one. ha ha.
ReplyDeleteI'll dig deeper next week...see if I can bee cynical again!
DeleteBoth are great but the second one (in the red jello cube), has a much sharper and more thrilling feeling. For one thing, instead of those apparently clueless cars on their leisurely drives, the second one shows two cars racing toward the colossal Gerard... perhaps his mother and an ex-best friend (or ex-girlfriend!) hoping to talk him out of his destructive rage. Also, the clouds are so nicely defined in the second one.
ReplyDeleteTwo tiny cars have lead to thoughts of infidelity...Cindy, you are funny!
DeleteHi Rod, good to see Gerard again!! I like so much his expression, especially in the one above :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks N!
DeleteI love the red one illo!:)
ReplyDeleteThanks GM!
DeleteHombre, no has sido tú quien restauró el Cristo de Borja, ¿verdad?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletejeje..fue yo..te gusta el nuevo Cristo?
DeleteSiempre pensé que habías sido tú disfrazado de vieja, ja ja!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Has hecho una obra de arte!!!! :)))))
Deletebut would have liked me, if you would have to restore painting Gerard's face!
Haha...I'll travel to the Sistine chapel next week and put Gerard's face on the ceiling somewhere....it's damn good publicity!!!!
DeletePlaying with plains in his dream... Well I have to say that the red one makes the dream a bit more scary. I like those stylized clouds in the 2nd one too. They're both great! Gerard is awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks KK!
DeleteGerard is kind of scarey at that height but it's a fun and silly dream for him to be having. I love it! Especially in red.
ReplyDeleteGerard even makes the Amazing Colossal Man seem like fun to be with.
DeleteMe gustan ambos!!
ReplyDeleteGreat illustration!
<3
Rocío.
Gracias r!!!! Me gusta tu blog!!
DeleteThese are great, the red one makes me think there's gonna be a violent ending for that dream though...maybe all his enemies are in the planes :D
ReplyDeleteNever fly on Gerard Airlines.
Thanks Ana.Gerards dreams are all red.
DeleteOh I have dreams of falling and flying but never had a dream that I was tall. I need to program my dreams. That would be so cool to be that tall. I'd flick the planes like grasshoppers and squish mountain hikers like ants. Hahahahaha! Evil!
ReplyDeletePoor hikers...I wonder if you saw Ted's Hiker Leon when you wrote this?
DeleteTed did a new gag about mountain climbers?? Let's all run over there and check it out! Right now! :O
DeleteI was just talking to a co-worker about how people will constantly want to 'turn the camera back 180 degrees toward them' in a conversation. Or maybe that's more of a show business thing?
Some people are worse than others...don't think it's only show business. I am the opposite in conversation...I always direct attention to this more deserved guy called Ted....Ted Blackman actually...he's a cartoonist/ Art director working in the animation industry for the famous Warner Bros. His cartoons are funny, far better than mine, his drawings are polished, far better than mine, he's etc etc....oh yeah he's this blue stubbly guy with a funny nose who lives in a bright yellow house....whats the point in talking about me?
DeleteI saw Ted's hikers. I think my eyes sustained a hernia after seeing the guy's backpack! Of course I would never really squish the hikers. I think it is rather scary to be flying in a plane and there's a giant rounded man walking about the clouds! Look what he is doing! He got hold of a plane. I hope everyone is wearing their seatbelt and no one is in the lavatory at that time.
Deletecould be messy!
DeleteOut of the two I like the first in graphite the best. It shows a lot more of your invention and process. I actually like the 'rough' feel, and see it as a valid finish.
ReplyDeleteIt's a statement of what you did and how you got there.
always very interesting to watch.
.
Thanks Richard..I think I agree with you.
DeleteSee, I like how you always get my illustrations! :)
ReplyDeleteyou are one of those hundred and eightyers, but someone has to get people to your blog!! ;)
