Kind words from the Collinsport Historical Society

The Collinsport Historical Society had some very kind things to say about say about some pages I did as a submission to Dynamite Entertainment for their ongoing Dark Shadows comic book series. You can read their blog here:

As I've stated in the past, I'd jump at the chance of doing an issue or twelve or a one-shot graphic novel of Dark Shadows for them ;-)

 



Spring offerings at WAM

Obviously an older photo because when was the last time you remember Jim Davis ACTUALLY drawing Garfield?

Spring is just around the corner... well... my Spring Classes are just around the corner. This year I will be teaching a Saturday Morning Cartooning Class at the Worcester Art Museum for ages 8 to 10 years.

The class is students who are both new to drawing cartoons and those who draw cartoons all the time. It's also a great opportunity for students not only work with characters they have already created but also create new characters. The biggest thing I encourage students who take classes like mine, or Andy Fish's or Scott Nelson's cartooning classes is don't just think of these as characters to use just in the class. Create characters you can use outside of class.

And basically I'm going to go through ALL THINGS cartoon in this class. Comic strips, comic books and cartoon animation. We'll be doing it all!! Or at least all I can fit into eight weeks.

Drawing For Cartoons: 8-10 Years

Now accepting commissions for the Holidays!!

 

I am now accepting commissions for the Holidays.

 

Along with my regular style as seen in my books and prints, I am also willing to do requests in both Pop Art and a more cartoon style. Pop Art can vary from comic book art to a painting of your favorite comic strip.

 

As for medium. I work in pen and ink. But I can also do pieces in watercolor, gouche and in digital colors.

 

I don't usually do pieces in Acrylic or Tempera. However, I would be opened to any requests in either. Since they would be created on canvas, they would most likely a lot more factoring in supplies and shipping as well as the size of the piece.

 

I don't work in oils. I'm just not good at it and the smells of the oils and varinishes make me sick. Sorry.

 

Anyone who is looking for a piece digitally colored can rest assured that the original color file will be deleted once I have printed it making it a one-of-a-kind piece. You will also have the original mailed to you at no additional cost.

Any interested parties can e-mail me at herbertzohl@gmail.com for more information about pricing, size and what you have in mind for a particular illustration.
