COAT OF SMILES, parody art of iconic symbols. A duck's hat, a mouse's ears and a smiling yellow button. Three iconic things brought together in one artwork.

Something Rough

Something pretty, pretty rough...


Apropos rough and drawn (drawn being the operative word), Jerry Beck posted Gene Deitch's keynote-speech-video for the Xiamen Animation Festival here: Gene Deitch: Quo Vadis Animation?

This is btw a sort of manned crittered kite balloon. Some inspiration came from here [>>].

Here's another piece of inspiration. A painting (this dates from 1913) by one of my favourite artists, the Austrian painter Jos Danilowatz ("Motor in der Karikatur", ROB Verlag Wien, 1925).

    Cliff, indeed, Jos Danilowatz was a wiz. Btw, do you know that he came near being a railwayman and not an artist. Cheers!
