I know it’s been a long time coming. But there’s movement folks! Surprised even me to be honest. But in the last few days. I’ve actually done new stuff in my sketchbook! Feels good!

Sketchbook dribble… What if Ub Iwerks designed Rat Fink?

My latest brain dripping into my sketchbook! What if Ub Iwerks had designed “Rat Fink??!” If “Ub Iwerks” doesn’t ring any bells. He’s Walt Disney’s friend, and early collaborator. Who actually designed off of Walt’s idea for an animated character “Mickey Mouse”. Ub designed what “Mickey Mouse” actually looked like. Despite what you might feel about what Micky has come to represent. Ub’s design is actually a work of genius! Almost perfectly suited for the reality of hand drawn animation. Drawing the same character over, and over millions of times. Mickey is a simple, and ingenious design. You have to give Walt, and Ub that, anyway!

But in this wild hair, artistic, excursion of mine. Some Rat Fink fans might even say “blasphemous idea!” You take an crazy inspiration, add in my muck raking, sick, mind to the equation! With my tongue firmly tucked into my cheek! And you get weirdness such as this! Relax it’s only lines on paper… still you’ll never unsee this… And I’ve got you all right where I want you! (Evil laughter) 😜💨

Ed “Shaky” Reed sign writer guy actually popped into my head before I did the Ub lwerks RatFink. But I actually did him yesterday. Fingers crossed that this momentum will continue! And more new stuff will dribble from my aging brain…

“When all you have is a hammer. Everything looks like a nail!” I bet most people can relate to this, after all these weeks of sheltering in place! Sub title “Six Penny Lobotomy!”

More fairly recent sketchbook doodles...

Proposing a new feature on this page! When I was a kid several Hot Rod & Kustom Car related publications had Section where readers could submit drawings they did of dream Hot Rods or Kustoms! So maybe you like to doodle but it's just a something you do or a hobby but you're not a pro! Well here's a place you can post it! Be sure to sign it! I'd advise you include these three elements in your signature! The © copy right symbol, your name, and the date! Have fun with it!
