The Cartoons Are Coming Back

Hello there

It's been a while, so thank you for bearing with me, and hope all is well with you.

If you remember, in my previous post, I'd solved the "Why and the how," of my seemingly ever-lasting re-set.

Well, now the what (or at least some of it) has arrived too. Drumroll...

The cartoons are coming back... 


A realisation

You see, I had a realisation whilst I was doing this birthday cartoon for a friend...

This colour cartoon shows a seabird sanctuary, over which the seabirds are organizing themselves to splat humans, scoring extra points for each hit...

cartoon on a greeting card...

That I really, really, really...still like doing cartoons....Drawing quickly, having lots of ideas, (and hopefully) helping people to have more fun and more laughter.


Making it happen

"So...", you might be thinking, "Where can I see all these wondrous cartoons?"

To which my honest answer at the moment (apart from my CartoonsbyClare Zazzle store, that is :-), is,

 "Um...mostly still on my hard drive..."

This is because I've done a large chunk of  them for fun, friends and family, up to this point.

And also because, though the more serene image of a "might-soon-be-used-avatar," for the cartoons looks like this...

Image is a cartoon of me, at my desk, with cartoons by clare in the corner, and the two "oo"s in "cartoon turned into the eyes of a smiley face.


The reality of the situation whilst in the throes of making it happen, tends to look more like this...


The image is a repeat of the real avatar above, save that in this one , I look really stressed, with ominous words and phrases like "Systems,2 and "merchant of record," and "socials,2 coming out as thoughts from my head.


 In other words, I still have to solve the final "Where?" piece of the puzzle properly.

But it is coming, and I'm even more on the case than a luggage tag.

So, in the gentle expectation that the next post will be along quicker than this one...Thanks ever so much for sticking around and reading down this far, and I'll just say...
