As a giant fan of Frank Sinatra, it was a thrill to be asked to design the cover to AJ Lambert's LONELY SONGS, a limited edition vinyl EP of four songs from her grandfather's classic album, SINATRA SINGS FOR ONLY THE LONELY. For the full story and more artwork, see the corresponding post on Tough Guy II. And go order the EP here!
Following up a series I did in 2013 of General Mill's unholy trinity of cereal monsters (being, of course, Count Chocula, Frankenberry, and Boo Berry), here are the two lesser-known follow-up mascots, Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy. Geez, these things were heavily weighted towards fruit flavors.... What, they couldn't do, say, Corn Creature (from the Black Lagoon), Peanut Butter Robot, or Bran Kong?
This piece is based (loosely) on the cover of DETECTIVE COMICS #165, replacing alternate Batman costumes with the four Batmen below, all based on bootleg Batman action figures from various countries. I love off-model toys, so this was fun to do, even if I had to narrow the roster down to only four!
Following up on my PEANUTS POOCs, here are four recreations of scenes from the animated specials, IT'S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN and A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS. The originals of these are available at the Etsy shop, ToughGuyGoods!
