Sunbean County - Tumblr Posts
This is one of my original characters, I intend to post more in the future, my trait is not so good, but I think it has its charm, this character is called Maggie and maybe in the future she will become one of the characters in a comic strip that I intend to do called Sunbean County, in the style of calvin and hobbes, showing normal and critical situations of a suburban society in the interior of the United States that takes elements from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s.
When we were young. We used to play of sailors. I was kinda obssessed with Moby Dick and all those sailor books. This photo was taken somwhere around Sunbean County - Maine. In 1964.
Oh no! Its a...
Retrospective!
Now that we've reached the last month of the year, I think it would be cool to do a little retrospective of my favorite drawings posted throughout the year. I confess that the sudden success of 350 likes of snufkin's drawing was a big surprise for me and I am very grateful for all the reblogs. Even though my account is small, it is still great to receive recognition for my art for the first time. I'm still trying to adapt to Tumblr but I'm already grateful for the open and positive community.
*This one is based on some pinterest draws from summer camp island, i dont remeber the original artists...
What's the latest, Magg? just some drawings from my OC; Maggie Marsh. My idea is to do some comic strips about everyday life in the quiet suburbs of a county in Maine called Sunbean County in the 60s. Maggie is kind of the protagonist and currently the character I draw the most. she's a fan of space exploration due to the whole space race and everything. She doesn't have many friends and spends most of her day wandering the melancholic streets of his city of around 10,000 inhabitants, in the middle of nowhere. Now 12 years old, her old friends have become distant and her parents have divorced, leaving her mainly under the guardianship of her father, a street vendor who only comes home late at night. - the fun of this idea of mine is that normally in cartoons or comics the characters always find what they are looking for. for example, in an episode something always happens directly related to the theme of the episode and everything else. however, in my idea, the fun would be that due to the monotony of Sunbean County, NOTHING ever happens. that is; no fantastic events, no great adventures, no incredible events... just the most peaceful and boring day to day life of an small town. a kind of comic strip about the suburban bucolicism of the mid-60s. Interesting? I dont know...
