Tag: Ricky B

Admittedly, I haven’t been drawing Ricky lately since finishing the underdrawings on the first Ricky B. The Rock N Roll Rat comic book in December as I need to finish inking all the text before I can then ink all the pages of drawings, so this will be a...

I should think of a better title… oh well. Since I’ve been meaning to get back to regular updates but haven’t, and since a quick DM about my bio prompted me to slap up some new pics of the work I’ve been doing since I last updated, and since...

A little video I made showing some of the pastel drawings I made during the “Pastels and Nature” class at the Vancouver Island School of Art, plus some cartoons I did in pastels aside from classwork (including a rare non-mouse Bono drawing!): Spot the complaints from Ricky towards the...

This week I posted some of the monotypes I did of Ricky on Saturday along with the usual cartoons and a pastel drawing when I’ll post on social media on Sunday. I think my favorite, though, is the “bonus” cartoon I drew this afternoon from a prompt in Ladysmith...

I guess the biggest news of the week is of course the coronation. I was asleep at the time, of course, but just watched the replay from the Royal Family’s channel: I’m not a big monarchist, though all things considered if you have a decent king, it can be...

Popped into the beginners’ printmaking drop in at Ladysmith Arts today and made a few Ricky B. Rat monotypes. All of these have at least 2 layers if not 3; backgrounds first, then Ricky on top. I used ghost prints as well as the usual first pull. The paper...
