Send Help! A Collection of Marooned Cartoons

In May 2021, I submitted a series of rough desert island cartoons for a proposed book collection.  The collection was edited by The New Yorker-contributors Jon Adams and Ellis Rosen.  A minimum of three were required for submission.  All submissions were drawn with pencil on paper.

Send Help! A Collection of Marooned Cartoons was later published by Little, Brown and Company in November 2021.

Finished Artwork

After Adams and Rosen selected their favorite cartoon of the batch of drawings, I began completing the work.  The original letter-sized sketch was traced onto a sheet of 90 lb watercolor paper with a light box.  Ink and ink wash was then applied with a sable hair watercolor brush.
