There Are No Rules About Investment

This one comes courtesy of the excellent art stuff you can find on my parents’ blog Over the Net. So I can only assume that Charles Saatchi actually said this thing and therefore lends weight and intensity to my comic. Thanks, Charlie.

A Great Artist

Another comic based on the excellent “Big Ears” series from Over the Net. Stubbly guys say the darndest things, eh? Eh? Ha ha. They’re great.

Not Interesting Enough

Another comic based on Over the Net’s Big Ears series. I’m a sucker for the art speak and the art deflation. See how I used blue panels and a blue highlight in the strip? I’m developing as an artist.

Sold Out

From the always entertaining “Big Ears” series at Over The Net. Pretty much a literal recreation with a furtive attempt to ship in a little extra with the imagery itself. Still, the words are firmly the star.

That Statue’s On A Lean

A simple comic based on a poem I wrote during my (theoretically) daily morning poetry sessions. I didn’t even cut and paste the image, I redrew it each time. Because I’m a craftsman.

Birds Talk Art

Appearing due to popular demand is this comic where birds have a clichéd conversation about art. I’m mostly into it for the attempt to do bird-appropriate speech balloons and the work with a photographic background.

Stolen / Not Stolen

This one comes courtesy of an Over the Net post about an minor league art heist. The description of the stolen items was begging to be drawn.

Vince de Milo

This one seemed pretty hilarious at the time I thought of it, but I’m perhaps slightly underwhelmed now just because the “Vince” aspect doesn’t carry through in any sensible way. Should have used Vince Martin from the Beaurepaires ads in New Zealand.

Can I Sit On It?

The dialogue for this one comes from my parents’ blog Over the Net in the post “Big Ears (Limited edition)“. It’s an actually heard conversation from the Basel Art Fair.

How Dare You David Shrigley

I became enraged briefly with David Shrigley because he appears to have stolen all of the territory for doing quirky little throw-away jokes as ‘art’. Curse him!
