Vincent Waller said...

Such a pleasure too ogle your drawings.

Kali Fontecchio said...

What a suave man! What were you watching??

Max Ward said...

Your doodle character's head on a handsome man's body is sooooooo funny

Clothes maketh the man.That applies to cartoons as well. Would you not agree Mr. Fitzgerald? What I mean is characters with clothes look always 'cooler'. What are your thoughts?

The very portrait of the discerning Theory Corner gentleman!

I see the Greenspan of the Hand Economy came through for us again this quarter.

Kali: It's from one of the early John Woo films. The actors were mostly thin Chinese so I had to modify them a bit.

Crsp: Clothes make the man alright!

An irrelevant news item...

Mike Fontanelli fans will want to know that he has exited his double wide and dipped his toe in the world of blogging with a great guest post on Walt Kelly at the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive Blog.

See ya

Just imagine this suit guy animated by Rod Scribner! The world would end, after it lost its lunch.

Uncle Eddie I have a question and a challenge. I know that above all you are a story man for animation and possibly an artist second (blind assumption please correct me if I am wrong)

Here is the challenge to me and you is we take a common story that is well known and make a quick animatic of how we see the story progress. You name the time and date with pencil in hand, we draw
at midnight!

haahahha great! these are really cool. i like the one where he is blowing smoke from his nose. post moreeeee!

Depends on which John Woo film. I'm guessing, via the surliness, Better Tomorrow I.

I love the contrast. By dressing a cartoon character in very sharp, serious clothes, the cartoon character becomes even funnier.

Eddie... your animation background and talent and possibly even your sheer genius makes even your doodles more interesting and action-packed than almost every superhero comic book artist working today.

Those dramatic walking poses rule. They absolutely rule.

Eddie Fitzgerald said...

Joel: LOL! Thanks!

What a great cartoon character - there's something inherently funny in the way you draw trouser wrinkles

Eddie Fitzgerald said...

Kent: Thanks!
