Community Theater: Doctor Who

< Back / FIRST / Next >

Currently, with my work schedule as a graphic designer AND the illustrator on the comic books, Carpe Noctem & Fetch: An Odyssey, there is simply no way to expand the schedule to anything more than once a week for new "Dandy & Company" comic strips. But I still kinda want to do MORE! 

Hence, the return of Dandy & Company: Community Theater in a new form: Sketch Covers. Over the last few years, every comic publisher out there has begun printing their comics with blank covers for artist to draw on. I even have one for my own comic, The Wellkeeper. 

So since I have a bunch of these blank comics, it would be fun to start drawing our gang of regulars AS these other characters for fun. As an added bonus, each weekend that features a new entry WILL be available for sale as original art for just 50 dollars! Just contact me at: derrickfish @ gmail . com (Remove Spaces in Email)

Hope you enjoy the new weekend feature!

FULL PONY!

Okay, let me just say now that I have NOTHING against Bronies or pony fans of any type. I just love the art style and it's amazingly popular, which made it perfect to end the series of running gags.

Nostalgia Redux

< Back / FIRST / Next >

Welcome back to the ALL NEW "Dandy & Company"! And with this triumphant return, I decided to hug the nostalgia fairy so tight that she might just die! All kidding aside, I thought that it would be fun to reflect on the concepts of nostalgia by showcasing the art styles of the cartoonists that have most inspired me.

For anyone that might not know, the first panel is drawn in the style of Bill Watterson of Calvin and Hobbes.

The second, of course, is in the style of Jim Davis, creator of Garfield. 

The third panel, a recreation of the style of Charles Schulz of Peanuts fame.

The fourth panel is a homage to the work of Berkeley Breathed, creator of Bloom County/Outland/Opus.

The last homage panel is my best attempt at the lush, beautiful brush work of Pogo's Walt Kelly.

Each comment in each frame makes reference to a major theme present throughout each strip and was a LOT of fun to try and emulate.

See you next Wednesday, same Dog time, same dog channel!
