Is this too esoteric?

Post Reply New Topic

I wrote this originally in the early '80s. I finally got it done a while back. Nobody gets it. Is it just too far out there?

Wow, man, that's some talent you've got going on there!

I thought it was very good - I've been a space exploration freak since I was a kid, and recognised the Voyager probe straight away from your artwork. Reminds me a little of Douglas Adams' sense of humour too - right up my street.

Too esoteric? I wouldn't worry about that. A small, but appreciative, audience is much preferable to going for the "lowest common denominator" and watering your work down. You might get more fans that way - but then are they really appreciating you as an artist or just because you fit their idea of a genre? I love it when artists find the profundity or humour in my special interests.

If you have any other work available to peek at on-line, I'd love to see it.

Oh, thank god!! Nobody I know could even figure it was Voyager let alone understand it after I told them it was Voyager.

One person said, "It's just another dumb cartoon where somebody blows stuff up."

AAAuuuuggggghhhhh!! !!

Thank you!! I my have to dig out some of my old science cartoons. I may have found some sort of an audience!!
Thank you!! !

This is one I did about the same time.

I didn't get the first one until you said it was the Voyager probe. And I only knew what that was because I saw the first Star Trek movie. Maybe I'm in the wrong age group. Not hugely into space exploration, either. It scares me.

So you don't only do "sciency" ones - that's an impressive range, both in content and artwork style. A lot better than many of the "one trick ponies" that are so common in self-published "web comix" that I see these days.

Thanks, I bounce around a lot. Everybody who looks at my work in a hiring capacity says the same thing..."So, I don't see what it is you like to do...."

What? Seriously? This is my portfolio. I like this work. I didn't include the work I didn't like to do...uggghhhh......
Talk about wide ranging.....

and

I gotta dig up my sciencey cartoons though.....

I love the Frog, so good. Wish I had that talent to put my ideas down on paper.

I share my work on Instagram and get positive feed back and I can't draw at all

honestly, the first comic was hilarious holy crap
