Dave Wolfe's blog
Posted: Mon Jan 31, 2011 10:37 am
I noticed that Dave Wolfe has recently been reminiscing about an old Yahoo group that included himself, me, and several other spank-toon artists. His most recent post includes a collaborative work by four different artists!
The idea was first suggested by "Cynthia". It was in 2002, about Oscar time, and she thought there should be a "Spankademy Awards" progam, with awards presented to the artists of Arild's group. When I saw her suggestion, it occurred to me that if such a thing was to be done, it should include as many of the artists as possible. I e-mailed each of the artists, telling them about my plan.
Some of the artists were unable to participate, for various reasons, but the three who expressed a willingness to take part were Dave Wolfe, Angus Old, and Darth. Angus supplied the stage, the microphones, and the M.C. Dave contributed his "Wolfie" character, and Darth drew some of his characters for a second story that followed my "Katie" segment. (which featured Wolfie in a "Howard Keel" pose, with Katie in the "Kathryn Grayson" position!)
After all the individual drawings were finished, the artists sent them to me and I did the final "assembly" and posted the finished work. Collaborative works done by more than one spank-toon artist are rare, and I think this may have been the only one done by four of us!
I no longer have the file, and until this week, I didn't think anyone had saved it. If any of you aren't already regular visitors to Dave's blog, I suggest you check it out.
