The Return of Stickman #1187

As much as I know you have all been enjoying the guest strips, my vacation ended a week ago. Thanks to my friends I have been able to get caught up on my back log of projects, finish some immediate "I so need it today!" stuff, and go out on assignment for one of my largest clients. Many thanks to my guest cartoonists for lending a hand. Next week I will be at the drawing board again and you can look forward to, well, pretty much what you have been getting.

Connor Bagdonavic's guest strip inspired John Schmelzer to send in a responding guest strip that was good enough to cut into the queue. Fair warning to others, all other guest strips will be sent to the back of the queue. I only put in John's strip here because he is, um, a long time contributor to the strip.

The Return of Stickman #1185 and Roller Derby Poster

One of my projects this week was finishing up on a Roller Derby Poster for a big match up between two leagues. My good friend James Stowe has been drawing posters for the Dockyard Derby Dames for a while and got me curious about doing one. The only direction I received for this poster was, "Just make sure it has a rollerskate on it and we'll be happy. So I knew I was going to be drawing a lot of rollerskates. As I was doing research I saw a referee in the background of a photo. I thought to myself, "The poor refs, they get overlooked so often." Thus inspired I knew just what I wanted to draw.

Here is how it looks with the text and logos.

I did put the logos on their own layers and they might get moved, re-sized or deleted altogether before it goes to press. Anyway, I'm very happy with how it turned out.

I want to thank Connor Bogdanovic for providing me with a few guest strips for Stickman. I've several projects that have landed while I was on vacation last week and I'm working hard to finish them off. Below is a quickie I did for The CLAW this month.

The Return of Stickman #993

I want to thank Connor Bogdanovic for sending in this guest strip. Many thanks, Dude! This was nearly identical to one I thought of drawing up. But, I got sidetracked with an arsonistic goat.

Many thank to Connor Bogdanovic for sending in this guest strip.
