It's Daylight Savings Time, Charlie Brown






"It's Daylight Savings Time, Charlie Brown"  SAT 8/7C

It's Daylight Savings Time again and Charlie Brown fails to set back his clock an hour, causing an imbalance in the space-time continuum. The entire Peanuts gang are violently sucked through a time vortex and travel back to 1895 where they meet Daylight Savings Time innovator George Vernon Hudson. So, set your clocks forward for fun and tune in this Saturday at 8/7 PM Central.

Hue Meets Hellboy




A STEP IN THE DIGITAL DIRECTION

I am proud to present my first attempt at digitally coloring and inking and illustration on the Wacom tablet. For those who don't know, that is my long-time friend, Hue, (pictured above) hanging out with Hellboy.

I'm still learning the ropes on the tablet, but the process is coming easier and it's been really fun to make the leap to digital.

Thundarr the Barbarian




LORDS OF LIGHT! DEMON DOGS!

Do you remember those catchphrases? If so, you must a fan of the awesome 80s cartoon, Thundarr the Barbarian. 
This post-apocalypic animated show for kids featured Ookla the Mok and Princess Ariel surviving in a world of "savagery, super-science, and sorcery." Like I said: AWESOME. 

When the show was released on DVD last year, I was happy to finally own this piece of animated nostalgia. I present to you this poster as an inspired homage to America's favorite post-apocalypse barbarian.

Tettssuuoooooo!!




Check out what's on Jeff Welborn's drawing board.

I wanted this particular piece to look like it came from a Manga book. Minus the stereotypical Manga style artwork. Because I just don't draw that way.

I started with a sketch in my sketchbook that I really didn't plan on inking, but I have been wanting to do more detailed inking in Manga Studio so I thought I would try it out on this piece.

It's Ash Wednesday, Charlie Brown






More Peanuts Parody by Brad Campbell 

When I did the Peanuts Mardi Gras parody, I thought it would be funny to follow it up with an Ash Wednesday salute.  It would be funny if they actually made a Peanuts special about 
such a dry, boring-sounding holiday. However, I think my fake plot description sounds pretty accurate and pretty entertaining.

Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler, Charlie Brown






Check out this Peanuts parody by Brad Campbell.

This is another parody in my series of fake Charlie Brown TV Specials. I actually think this would be a good idea for a Peanuts special. There could be a parade. The kids could have a float-loading party. Snoopy could dance around and throw beads at everyone. Also, I really like Snoopy's Charlie Brown scepter. I wish I had one of those.


In fact, I wrote a fake TV listing and posted it on my own art blog. Check it out @ bybradcampbell.com
