Christmas in September

Published on by oddboxcomicsLeave a comment

This is a caricature portrait of my brother Joey, his wife Jennifer, and their granddaughter, Everlee. This was a Christmas gift from Everlee’s mom, Autumn, to Joe and Jennifer.

I got back to basics when drawing these caricatures. Although my drawing tablet has its advantages, using just a primitive pencil and eraser on paper is much more enjoyable. I drew the faces with pencil, scanned them into Photoshop, and then created the rest of the portrait using the drawing tablet.

Would you like to give a caricature portrait to one of your loved ones this Christmas? Let me know what you want and I’ll quote you a price, then you will say, “yes or no”, then we dicker and haggle maybe, and then you say, “yes”. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

This is now a fully functional PayPal “Buy Now” button existing in the sidebar. Go ahead…give it a try! When you hover over it, it says, “Use PayPal to contribute!” When you click on it, you can choose the amount that you want to give. This button was created for tips and usage payments. For instance, let’s say that you just have to give me money because you thoroughly enjoyed your visit to Oddbox Comics. Click on the Chupacabra and write in the amount. Or perhaps you would like to use my art for your own purposes. After my approval, this is how you can pay!

A Weekly Publication!

Oddbox Comics is now a weekly publication. Every Friday (give or take a day) I will post something…  Anything… That is to say… that if I don’t have any art to post, I will write in a jocular vein and then make a quick sketch to go along with all of the jocularity. After all, the site is called Oddbox COMICS. Perhaps you will be entertained. Or amused. Or both.

 

 

Historic Interview

Published on by oddboxcomics2 Comments

This was the strip for the Dec. issue of Flint Comix. The quality was a little off, so I am reprinting it here. This is also the very first Oddbox with any color in it. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

And now for a special treat, Surewould Forest in its entirety! (Of course, in “a couple of days” increments.) Sadly, this also was rejected by the syndicates. However, Flint Comix, the Genesee County Herald, and the Lakeview Enterprise liked it enough to publish it. Enjoy!

Flint Comix Cover

Randy Zimmerman, the editor of Flint Comix and Entertainment, came to me and said, “Rudolph, with your nose so bright, won’t you lead my sleigh tonight?”, and I replied, “My name is Bob.” At any rate, I told him that I had no experience whatsoever with sleighs or anything like that, but what I could do is the cover for the December issue of Flint Comix. He said that would be fine, but he still needed a good sleigh-person. I told him that I would ask around, but good luck trying to get anybody to work on Christmas Eve.
