My Brushpen Sketch

I read all the content. Really all enthused for the idea of the French Brushpen, all warm glow about what a great book this is and how great the next one would be, and I turn to this final image of me all flustered and bothered about how mortifying it is to find drawings of myself. Loved it.

Be funny if a thousand years from now the only thing to survive of any of us was Marty's caricatures. We would be the Mona Lisas of the future. "Who was this man named 'Ellis' and why was he so popular?"

I like that idea Tom.

You guys are too funny. Ellis! So glad you liked the book & the tee!! I was getting worried--we hadn't heard from you for a spell. Glad you're back posting!

We missed you and Tom at WonderCon. Jimmy claims the scuttlebutt is they will continue holding a Con in Anaheim--the turnout for this thing was HUGE. Wish I coulda spent more time absorbing and enjoying. I did buy myself a GIANT (as in 24" tall) Jack Davis art book that hasn't even been release to the general populace yet. From the same guys that did the oversized "Art of MAD" book last year.

We need to be in on this action, fellas!

...and I really enjoyed your tale of enjoying the book, then getting blindsided by the drawing at the end. Ha! That's how I hoped it would work out!

I'm telling you--get ready for your image rights royalties to start rolling in. Comic shop in Portland insisted they could sell Teen Ellis graphic novels...I just need to make one!

Teen Ellis and Li'l Okie Ellis - Oklahoma City life as a child in the fifties and sixties. How could it not sell? Ellis will be the new "Archie".

Rickart said...

Lord knows we could use a better Archie than the one we have now.

More Teen Ellis!

ERB never went to Africa. Sounds perfect. Marty imagining Teen Ellis' Okie hick life.

Tom Moon said...

Yes, Teen Ellis is an edgy "Archie" for the new millenium. What's ERB?

Edgar Rice Burroughs is erb.

I'm the same way about Buncake. I could probably write a movie based on the Ellis vision of Scott.
