A couple months ago Dan O'Brien from Cracked.com contacted me about doing artwork for a brand new web series they were developing called Cracked: After Hours. The premise of the show was four employee's of Cracked.com getting together after work and riffing on pop culture. The artists chosen for the series would represent the inner thoughts of each of the characters on the show.
My artwork represents actress Katie Willert's (pictured) inner thoughts because my style and liking towards things from the 1920's and 1930's best suited her own tastes.
For those unfamiliar, Cracked Magazine was the MAD Magazine's closets rival since the late 1950's. There were countless humor mags around the same idea as MAD but Cracked was the only one of those rivals that hung around the longest and was the closest competition for MAD.
One of my favorite MAD Magazine cartoonists Don Martin even crossed enemy lines and worked for Cracked for a short while after a falling out with MAD when they refused to pay him royalties on reprints his work appeared in.
There's a link to the first episode of Cracked: After Hours in my previous blog post which is all about how the first Back to the Future is by far the worst ending in movie history. The characters reasons why are great!!
I also finished up artwork for the next couple episodes. Be sure to keep up with the series!! It's been a lot of fun to work on so far and the cast involved are a great group of actors!!
