Sullivant at Stripper's

Just a quick update!
Allan Holtz has posted some beautiful TS Sullivant drawings over at his Stripper's Guide, earlier this week.
(Link to the right in the "Other stuff you'll like" section!)
For some strange reason I haven't checked his blog for a few days. Shame on me!!! Good stuff posted there all the time .
Go check it out!

Hey stooopid!

Sometimes I'm just sooo stupid.
Earlier today I made an illustration and saved it in high resolution for print, as usual.
But, hey why not use it in my portfolio on www.illustratorcentrum.se while I'm at it. It's been a while since I made any updates there. So I made the file smaller and clicked "save for web" and saved...
But, did I save the large file first? No...
I guess that everyone has made this mistake once or twice, but arghhhh, It's so frustrating when it happens. I'm glad there was no deadline involved this time.
The "petite" version can be seen below. This is the largest version I have of it now. But with those bright colors I might just as well be better off *not* having it larger than this...

But to cheer things up a bit: Here's a photo of a li'l but early piece of TS Sullivant artwork.
From Life March 23, 1911 entitled "The red danger flag".
I prefer his drawings from the 20's, but any Sullivant artwork is good Sullivant artwork. Enjoy!

PS.
This blog never had as much hits as when I posted those Sullivant drawings earlier this week. Glad to see that I'm not the only one liking his stuff. I hope that someday someone will collect his work in a thick and massive hardcover book. Until then I'll try to post stuff whenever I come across new pieces.

More Sullivant! :)

T. S. Sullivant... Do I have to say more?
I'll just let these two gags talk for themselves.
Both are taken from Life March 26, 1925, the year before Sullivant passed away.


BTW: Anyone who knows if Andreas Deja is still working on the Sullivant inspired animation he once mentioned? I'm really curious to see it...

As a bonus here is the cover and an interior page by Charles Dana Gibson, one of Life's most famous illustrators. (He might even have owned Life by 1925. I'm not sure.)
I hope you like them as much as I do! (The last illo should really be seen in high resoulution so you could see all his lines close up. Magnificent penwork!)


PS.
Some John Held Jr, Inwood and fgc artwork in the same issue.
Can be scanned if anyone's interested.

T. S. Sullivant

It's always a pleasure to find a piece of long forgotten artwork by T.S. Sullivant.
These appeared in Campus Comics #2, 1931. But they probably appeared in print many, many years before that. Anyone know where they were first published?




Noticed that the bear in the second drawing looks a lot like another bear by Sullivant that appeared in Life January 4, 1912.
For those of you without complete runs of Life it also appeared in Black & White ImageS #1. Compare the two. Pretty similar, eh?

Check out Jim Vadeboncoeurs homepage for back issues of ImageS. Lots of Sullivant in his black and white annuals!
