Happy Berfday Nick Bertozzi!

Didn't have a cake, but I found this nice Pecan Sandy cookie to stick a candle in...

Happy Bertozzi Birthday

Happiest of Birthdays to Nick!  Seeing as how he is such a Tintin fan, I thought I'd draw a little something from the world of Hergé.  It wasn't until looking at some reference that I realized that Nick has been styling his life after Captain Haddock.  From his propensity to have facial hair to the captain's hat he wears at the studio, the visual similarities are eerie.  Fortunately for Hergé, Captain Haddock had a slightly better sense of style!  Hay-ooh!  Happy Birthday!

Bertozzi's Birthday!

It's Nick Bertozzi's birthday! I've decided to celebrate the occasion by drawing a few characters from one of my favorite comics of his, Persimmon Cup. I wanted to capture the technical spirit of the comic by drawing it in pencil and coloring it digitally... a completely new process for me!

I hope you like it, Nick. Feliz Cumpleanos!

Happy Birthday Nick Bertozzi

I'm not saying that Nick Bertozzi is tall , but when he wakes up in the morning a little warning light goes on at JFK Air Traffic Control.
For someone who is so instantly recognisable, it was surprisingly difficult to get a likeness of Senor Bertozzi. His swarthy, chiseled, good looks tend to get a bit Caligari unless one is very careful.
Anyway, happy birthday to the nicest man in comics.

Bertozzi Birthday!

Happy Bert-day Nick!

My half assed attempt at some "Persimmon Cup" characters.
