Oodles of Doodles, Etc. and the TTC strike
Transit strike!
If this happens then I'm being assigned to the cartooning transit-strike beat, where I wander the city with my faithful lawyer/reporter/sidekick Zosia and we cover the SITUATION. We did this before with the Grey Cup and it was the kind of week where I racked up enough overtime to take a full week off, which is crazy and awesome at the same time. So, if my Toronto peeps(people) have any suggestions(do my work for me) I'd appreciate them!

I never do commissions. It makes me feel dirty for some reason. It's just too personal doing work for one person. I like faceless giant corporations (ALWAYS HAVE, ALWAYS WILL). Anyhoo, I couldn't turn this one down as it was form a guy who is getting artists to re-create all the covers from the comic series PREACHER. I got to pick one fo my favourites, issue three, and do my own take on it.
So yeah, I never do commissions unless they're really fucking weird for a man with a really fucking weird grand scheme.
It was kind of a weird Zen experiment. I didn't really pencil it too much, just had fun with ink.
Here's my ethical question! I feel weird recreating another artist's work, even if I am doing my own, uh thing with it. I emailed Glenn Fabry to see what he feels would be appropriate compensation for such a project. I figure, like, 25% of the commission fee or something. What do you guys think? I've never heard of anyone doing this before, so I have no idea!
ALSO!
I did this image for this weekend's Toronto section in the Post. It's the house I live in and it's for a page about new ways to recycle. My jokes 'n' chuckles are in the final version this weekend! Buy them all!
ALSO!
I did an interview with a Celine Dion impersonator and it was FUCKING HARD. Transcribing an hour of chatting takes much longer than the hour in which you chatted. Also, I had to write, draw, letter and colour the two pages within one day which yielded some reeeeal sloppy results. Fuck! Cock! Fuck! Even still, I hope to do more of these.
That's all. I hope you all are having a wonderful day.
Love,
Chip
