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.
