The Yellow Page - Tammy's Toons & Other Frivolities

 

Drawing seems to bring out my evil side, as you'll see.

Matt Groening said it best: "Never annoy a cartoonist. They have the ability to strike back with very cruel caricatures."

  • A loving rendition of my late Great Aunt Phyllis, who used to live with us.
  • My sister Deb, throwing one of her "Everything's shit!" tantrums.
  • Two of my cats -- the late Slash, who was the older, relaxed fat cat; and Stimpy, the oh-so-cute calendar cat.
  • Special Agent Dana Scully, drawn from a trading card stuck to my high school diary (as you can see I was quite constructive in class).
  • A psychotic looking clown I drew while listening to the song "Deep" from the album Songs in the Key of X. A side of me I didn't know I had!
  • This is another piece I did in high school, titled "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", named after the song from which the inspiration for this piece came (from the album Rhythm of the Pridelands).
  • One of my friends is an X-Files nut so I made her a cel of Mulder and Scully in cartoon form (I can't take credit for the cartoon; it was traced from a B&W drawing by a Sydney animator). I painted the cel, inked it, scanned a trading card for the background and rolled it altogether.
  • Before my friend Michelle asked me to paint Homer Simpson on her fridge, I can't say I'd ever painted with the refrigerator medium.
  • My Simpson-esque ode to Wisconsin, the good people of Green Bay and its football team (the Green Bay Packers) -- my version of a stereotypical Wisconsin hick.
  • Being one of my all-time favourite female heroines, Leela of Futurama never ceases to captivate me with her ability to kick any alien's arse while maintaining her femininity. I dragged that sexual prowess out of her a little more with a new outfit -- including a new pair of her beloved boots.
  • Another little cartoon I did for a sports story about how we can all enjoy being couch potatoes during the AFL Grand Final and the Olympics.
