Hercules or Acrylicles? The Painting
I just purchased 4 more Acrylic colors/paints
and so was looking in The Art World
Edited by Barbaralee Diamonstein
(c. 1977 by ArtNews Associates)
for something I could try and do with them.
Well on p. 150 I found
Antonio del Pollaiuolo, Hercules, C. 1475-80, Bronze.
Here-for the first time-is my interpretation
of Mr. del Pollaiuolo's Hercules.

What The "Bizarre"! The Comic Book Makers
On the front cover of the book, The Comic Book Makers (c. 2003)
by Joe Simon with Jim Simon we read the following,
"The Young Men in the Golden Age of Comic Books
were as bizarre as the characters they created."
Bizarre? Could they mean because of something like
some of the artists at Harvey Publications
smoking the expensive Cigar butts that were left
by Joe Dempsey the ex-heavyweight boxing champion?
He would chain-smoke while watching the H.P. artists
working. (p. 72)
As we read on the back cover, this book is "Lavishly Illustrated."
It includes art work from Marvel, DC, Fawcett, EC, Harvey, MLJ,
etc, publications.

The Easy Way To Draw Cartoons & Circles....
In an earlier post or two we made mention about drawing circles.
Well now the circle mystery is ... revealed. (What The Mystery!)
In the 1966 (pocketsize paperback) book,
The Easy Way to Draw Cartoons, p. 8,
Morris Huzarsky writes,
"draw these circles free hand."
9 circles of various sizes are on the page.
"Variations of the circle " are on p. 9, 12 examples are given.
Mr. Huzarsky goes on to say, "these are the shapes
you will use in drawing Heads and Bodies."
P. S. I added the faces, etc, to some
of the circles because...well...because.
