Title: Andrew what's 's name
Post by: Diane CBPFC on January 19, 2008, 10:17:23 PM

Dear Roger,

Has your drawing partner seen the new notice board?

Do you think we could have an Andrew Day once a year, were he comes to visit the board and we ask him questions. Remembering not to mention bicycles and being on our very best behaviour.

Why don't you see if your agent will bring it up with his agent.

Yours truly,
Diane
C.B.P.F.C.

Would we be able to get in all the insults in one day?

And why can't we mention bicycles?

We could have a "Draw a bicycle" competition.

Look, what is all this Andrew Day nonsense? I'm the Beau Peep artist. Andrew just covers for me when I'm resting. Okay, so that's been all but two weeks of the last thirty years, but let's not allow that to go to his head, shall we?  >:(

I'll get my people to see his people and arrange a video conference.

Yes. People called "Mince" have to ride one as fast as they can to China. You do have one, I hope?

I'll go for the crayon option.

Sorry about the colour but I had so many brown crayons to use up.

Do you begin to see why most cartoonists hate drawing bicycles? Add to that the challenge of drawing the things from different angles other than square-on, including perspective, then positioning someone on the saddle at the correct proportions and angles, and you suddenly realise that from an artist's perspective, these things are the design of Satan.

Such things (cars, bikes, machinery generally) are the stuff of nightmares. Until you've drawn enough of them, then you go through a stage of acceptance of the job, confidence in it, followed by affection for it followed by an obsession with it.

I never wanted to be obsessed with drawing machinery, so I never got involved in stage 1 - acceptance.
I try and avoid drawing it at all costs.
I do have a yearly commission for a book here in Oz which requires me to draw 4X4 vehicles. I can draw them ok now, but I still detest them.

I'm not that keen on motor vehicles either, Malc, but give me them rather than bicycles any day (I've reached that 'confidence' stage with them, but I can't ever see me getting to 'affection', leave alone 'obsession' - I seem stuck in the 'really can't be a*sed drawing them' stage). Odd then, that I've just taken on a storyboard for a company that's making an 'infommercial' about safe speeds when leaving motorway roadworks. I'm only doing the opening sequence, but there's a number of vehicles in it, to be drawn in a 'straight' style, and isn't in the least bit funny. Can't think why I ever agreed to it, apart from the money. Sometimes I feel so cheap!  :-[

Cheap? Do you do dishes and windows?
