Today is the birthday of artist Ramona Fradon (Oct. 2, 1926-Feb. 24, 2024). Most known for cocreating Metamorpho and her work on Aquaman, Superfriends, Plastic Man, and the comic strip Brenda Starr, Reporter.
Fradon holding a copy of a Metamorpho collection she had just signed for me at a convention. A commission she did of Aquaman’s wedding and three comic books she did the covers and/or the interior art for: The Brave and the Bold #66, featuring Metamorpho and the Metal Men, Superfriends #28, and Plastic Man #19.

HANG IN THERE BABY!!
#art
a simple and graphic three-color drawing of a cat hanging from a tree branch, wailing in fear and misery. The text in the border around it says “Hang in there baby. You can cry. You can cuss. But you gotta hold on.”

I'm going to see an early screening tonight and I don't know if I'm going to make it. But dig this painting process. The Tap consumes me

SPINAL TAP II: THE END CONTINUES #SpinalTap2
My fan poster for the new movie Spinal Tap 2. It's a digital painting featuring the faces of the main three Spinal Tap band members in the middle, drawn as if they were the faces on Mount Rushmore, in similar style to Deep Purple's "Deep Purple in Rock" album art. From left to right they are David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel, and Derek Smalls. Stonehenge is visible looming behind them. Above them is their band logo and the movie title, Spinal Tap. Below them is the rest of the movie title, "The End Continues." These elements are all painted in slightly teal tinted grayscale, contrasting with a background of orange tiger stripes with a black border.

THE FABULOUS ROCKY SHARPE AND THE REPLAYS 🎼
Digital artwork emulating the style and appearance of a vintage poster, with a color palette limited to black, white, pink, and blue. The poster says 'Rocky Sharpe and the Replays' next to a full-body drawing of Rocky, who is removing pairs of sunglasses to reveal another pair of sunglasses underneath.

Thinking of changing Nash into a woolly breed, among other tweaks
A digital drawing of an anthro sheep sitting, with a plain background. He's mostly black in color, but his upper arms and legs have short brown wool growing. Their tail is undocked, and is black with a white tip, to match his face. He also has an ear ring, a nose ring, and dyed green hair. They're wearing a black sleeveless shirt, black boots, and dark green shorts. The design update is based on Zwartbles sheep, although he isn't exactly one, because he has horns.

I don't know when I'll get around to finishing this so better to share a rough draft than to wind up forgetting about it
