Understanding chaos

Miss Corina Tedeschi 135 and a couple of ed toons

2011-09-19T16:11:00.000-07:00

It read in The Miami Herald: It is us against the snails.

A little drama isn't bad for the headlines, some say, but this time Miami authorities have reason to worry.
Giant African Snails invading areas of the city can carry a virus causing a non-fatal type of meningitis, among other things.

The other plague in Miami?

Check it out here.

Ah, the budget's cuts.

And Miss Corina Tedeschi, number 135 of the Second generation.

Breakfast she wrote.

Miss Corina Tedeschi 134 and ed toons

2011-09-16T01:31:00.000-07:00

More Miss Corina Tedeschi, of course.

You can check here in Comics Showcase to see more of this and the Understanding Chaos strips too.

Here in this link is the other one I did with the same theme, this one used in El Nuevo Herald in its version in Spanish.

Corina et al

2011-09-14T21:59:00.000-07:00

More Miss Corina Tedeschi, folks.

By the way, the old strips will be posted regularly ( I hope) in Comics Showcase.

Miss Corina Tedeschi 131

2011-08-30T21:42:00.000-07:00

Yeah, it was a variation of a Understanding Chaos strip.

But who's going to tell her?

Not me!

More ilos and... well, one caricature

2011-08-29T20:01:00.000-07:00

This is Cuban singer/composer Pablo Milanés.

An amazing voice.

He was a staunch supporter of the Cuban Revolution, but lately, despite saying that he's still a leftist and a revolutionary man at heart (two things that don't sit well at all with Cuban hardliners exiled in Miami) he has criticized the Cuban government and his officials in interviews.

He was one of the few artists who in 2003 refused to sign a letter handed by the Cuban government seeking approval among its well known intellectuals to carry the death sentence of three young men that tried to kidnap a small boat to escape to the states.

He performed in a concert at the American Airlines Arena in downtown Miami amid protests of all kinds.

All made in Adobe Illustrator, like the other two ilos.

More of the same

2011-08-29T19:41:00.000-07:00

Toons from the last couple of days.

Some appeared in El Nuevo Herald, some didn't.

Definitely, Muammar is stealing the show.

More ilos and toons.

2011-08-29T18:24:00.000-07:00

It was only a matter of time that Miss Corina Tedeschi would appear in vector fashion.

She'll thank me later.

And speaking of the devil...

In times like these...

2011-08-22T19:55:00.000-07:00

Editors haven't noticed, but these are good times for cartooning.

Take note.

Ah, yes... more vector ilos.

Sorry!

These friends of ours gave us a couple of amazing cloth dolls they make as a hobby.

I sketched several ideas for them and never sent a single one!

One of those went to Adobe Illustrator Heaven this time.

The girl in the city

2011-08-21T00:30:00.000-07:00

Didn't draw any sketch on this one.

Straight to the Adobe Illustrator screen.

Miss Corina Tedeschi 129

2011-08-20T18:53:00.000-07:00

I have a two colors version of this one, but... how can I miss the soccer uni contrast?
And the Charlie Brown homage?
It would be totally uncool.

Mad scientist project

2011-08-19T23:11:00.000-07:00

All Adobe Illustrator.

Time will come I'll be comfortable with that software.

In the meantime...

Mad scientist
Vector ilo.

She's back.

2011-08-19T20:59:00.000-07:00

It was just a second wind.

Or so I like to think.

Reality check

2011-08-05T13:15:00.001-07:00

Bashar al-Assad, et al.

2011-08-05T11:27:00.000-07:00

I have to draw his caricature from front view.

His bucket head is awesome.

We cartoonists enjoy other people's... how to call it?

Pelosimorphosis

2011-08-05T11:16:00.000-07:00

Sometimes you have to go through here...

... to get here. But this is far from over, Ms. Pelosi.

I'll keep on trying until I get you right.

Sort of.

All Adobe Illustrator.

More caricatures

2011-08-03T21:13:00.000-07:00

The bad part of drawing all these caricatures is too much time at the board.

That's not good for my health. But on the other hand...

Caricatures and some.

2011-08-01T21:14:00.000-07:00

Go, Gaby. Go.

Andrés Oppenheimer, journalist and TV host.

Aretha!

Mr. Cantor.

Mr. Reid.

Mr. Biden.

Mr. McConnell.

Ollanta Humala, president of Perú.

Castro 1.0

Whoopie!

A few more

2011-07-30T16:25:00.000-07:00

John Boehner.

What was that?

You wanted me to draw him crying? Hmmm... Next time, maybe.

This one is more of an ilo than a caricature, I know.

I just wanted to show that I learned how to draw a cool square basketball.

Once upon a time...

2011-07-29T15:55:00.000-07:00

Coach Bradley

2011-07-28T22:38:00.000-07:00

Losing to Mexico was the nail in the coffin, they say.

After 5 years at the helm, coach Bob Bradley was fired, and Klinsmann doesn't seem to want to leave California to take care of the National Team.

Bradley has all my respect.

2011-07-27T21:37:00.000-07:00

Jorge Ramos is a Mexican journalist and TV personality.

Carlos Alberto Montaner is a Cuban writer and political analyst, whatever that means.

2011-07-21T21:12:00.000-07:00

Painting in Photoshop is relaxing, unless Google + keeps throwing notifications at you, popping up from the top of a browser.

Gotta find out how that works exactly.

Google is selling Google plus like the next Facebook only better. Like we need another one of those.

2011-07-19T13:07:00.000-07:00

I found this cartoon while I was trying to find a couple of drawings I did about religions. Funny thing, I had just posted a couple of them in Worldcartoon page in Facebook, as a reminder that the Lord works in mysterious ways.

Or that I have a hard time keeping my toons tidied up.

Jesus is a lousy copilot.

...and more.

2011-07-19T09:22:00.000-07:00

I'll burn in Hell, I know. But it's been a good run so far.

By the way, it was a nice surprise meeting Ed Hall in Toonpool. Good gallery there.

I have to drop by that site more frequently.

Don't look if you are too sensitive

2011-07-17T11:41:00.000-07:00

I have been annoying people for quite some time with these drawings. I guess I'm sick, sick. sick...

At least according to some voters in Toonpool, a web site and an open gallery to anyone. But some others seem to enjoy them, so let's post a few of those cartoons that poke those straitlaced fellows.

Enjoy.

Or not.

The strip is doing so well I'm jumping up and down screaming cartoonist slogans and waving a flag made out of ...

I know.

There is no such a thing as a cartoonist's slogan!

But I'm very, very happy the strip is doing great.

In these gloomy times when newspapers started to tank a little bit before the Economy, is a joy to learn that a hard working pal is hitting the big time.
