Mostly sketches. Occasionally a painting. Nothing political other than caricatures reinforcing the truism "Politics is Show Business for Ugly People".

ECCC2013, pt. 1 ("A Most Unusual Resemblance....")
Emerald City Comic Con 2013 was a fantastic experience on every level--personal, professional, informational. But the most significant event of the weekend may prove to be the discovery of this young man:
Ellis, I'm thrilled to report people at ECCC totally dug The Teen Ellis. Some are even inquiring via Facebook if there is a full-on Teen Ellis comic out yet (!!).
Dude, you're in for a slice of the royalties. A big slice!
I honestly think that Teen Ellis has some legs. I would love to read more sagas about Teen Ellis, the boy who's "aces with a pencil!" Cleverly written and stellarly illustrated!
He's not haunted enough. Plus the strawberry popsicle lips are too dominant as a feature. Like the frames.
ReplyDeleteSeriously. Great that you guys were there.
ReplyDeleteSuper congrats for the hard work to make the deadline with the pubs.
Ellis!
ReplyDeleteThis pic doesn't do the resemblance justice--seriously. It's not that he looks like you--it's that he looks like The Teen Ellis!!
Dude, you are coming to this event next year, even if we have to kidnap you. You will have a blast.
We are going to hire this kid to walk around the Con handing out Teen Ellis pins.
...and you need to check Brushpen Breakfast for my Tom Moon caricature (bonus Rick Schmitz, too).
ReplyDeleteGreat drawings on your blog Marty.

I see what you mean about the kid. The camera loves him.
found a Gay Ellis yesterday
ReplyDeleteI don't get "Gay Ellis".
ReplyDeleteI agree. He looks like the drawings do.
ReplyDeleteYay Benjamin!
ReplyDeleteGay Ellis was a character name on the UFO show. Gerry and Sylvia Anderson show
ReplyDeleteMy first comment was meant as "I like the frames." Not adding the frames to why he doesn't work as me. He works as Teen Ellis

Alright! Royalties.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, Teen Ellis is a get hired anywhere piece.
Who do you want to work for?
MAD is kind of a closed shop.
Pitch to DC or Marvel.
Or better yet Darkhorse.
Or even yet better, tell Fantagraphics your idea for Teen Ellis.
They do the good alt stuff.

ReplyDeleteDudes! Thanks mucho for the encouragement. I gotta make it happen!
