A Visual of Armageddon

This is one of my earlier illustrations using pen and ink, a serious artwork. Most of my pieces are humour based. This particular one has an eerie mood, perfect for pen and ink rendering.

The sole survivor seeks refuge with the comfort of a simple fire and you as the viewer are grateful not to be in her situation.

TOONSTALK History

The TOONSTALK concept was created to encompass editorial, political and general FUN cartoons. Like many artist in this crazy realm you will find some hometown references. My references to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada shows up quite frequently in my past work...specially in my political cartoons. My work has been featured in many Winnipeg community newpapers, local publishers like these are excellent vehicles to showcase your work and many editors appreciate to include a good cartoon.

For new artist starting out, I would look at your local publishers and determine what are their needs..eg.. real estate cartoons would be used by a publisher interested in that genre of humour. A good cartoon can often be published but there are many rejected excellent efforts that never see prints. I hope to share some of my published work and personal favorites in my future entries.
