Subway Series 30-31

As if the monsters had not been enough. Suddenly there is this page that contains visual quotes from many previous pages, and odd connections between them. There is a watertower that looks like the head of a lego man, there is a cab next to headphones. The monster here is probably a friend of the happy subway car. There is an indication of a subway map in the background. And why is there a free spark plug next to a happy scull? Who knows. The Spark plug seems to be starting a sunrise. The elements are just dancing on these pages. So much joy, so much joy.

No, I do not use any substances that would substantially enhance my perception. I never have and I do not think I ever will use any of this. Drawing, the anti-drug. ; )

Oh, yes, I love the work of Heinz Edelman. Here is a Transcript of an Interview with Heinz Edelmann about his work on Yellow Submarine.
He is an absolute superhero of design in Germany, you know. A bit like Milton Glaser or Saymour Chwast here, same generation. I grew up with these images and this might be why some of my drawing might resemble some of the style. Hmm. But then, it is all different...
I just think that it is tremendously important to have a certain sense of humor when doing any drawing work.

Oooh, I love all the monsters from yesterday and today! Unfortunately, I think these are the guys who have been making my train so late and slow all week.

No Blogger Bash for me. I'm not a good mingler and I don't have any friends, nor do I know anyone on the list of attendees. :/
