Well CRAZIES, we've come to the end of it all. The end of it all for may 2024! What? You thought I meant something else? I mean, we are ending our fan art celebration this week, but something super cool will be kicking off VERY soon, but more on that later! For now, it's time to scroll down and see one of the coolest things I've ever received! Enjoy...
I have long been an admirer of the artwork and comics of Jimmy Gownley, something I professed fairly recently even! So when he opened up commissions on Twitter last year, I just couldn't resist getting some art of Amelia wreaking cartoony mayhem on my favorite character, Mary Violet, much to Joan's chagrin. Jimmy certainly went above and beyond with the piece and I'll tell ya, the timing of its arrival couldn't have been any better as last April, I was sidelined with a torn knee ligament and missed three months of work as a result. Getting this delivered just days after my birthday while still on the shelf was a real moral boost to say the least. Still, I felt a little guilty asking Jimmy to draw something so outrageously silly involving his characters as it is a pretty wild gag. I swore if the chance rose again, I'd ask for something simpler and sweeter. Luckily, opportunity knocked a second time, leading us to the incredible piece below...
A dream come true: Bubble Fox meets Amelia and Mary Violet! It really is such a sweet piece. Mary Violet is absolutely adorable showing the CRAZY fox some love and letting him wear her hat while Amelia's in true form goofing on Bubble with some bunny ears! I was hoping to commemorate ten years of Bubble Fox with something truly special and I'll be eternally grateful to Jimmy Gownley for helping me make that happen! Thanks again Jimmy for helping Bubble not only turn 10, but show everybody how he looks facing forward! (Seriously! Ive never figured out a good way to draw that until I got this art!) You'll always be one of my cartooning heroes and I can't wait for your Tanner solo book!
And that's a wrap on the merry month of May CRAZIES, but don't get sad. If you're a longtime visitor of this blog, then you know full well what's starts next week! If not, I'll go ahead and spell it out: THE CRAZY COMIC CON COUNTDOWN RETURNS!!! That's right folks! Starting next week, I'll be diving deep into the CRAZY archives as we relive past Comic Con fun while counting down to the biggest week of the year! I'm excited to share these pictures with you fine folks, so do come back and check it all out! Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!
