Last week’s #NobleHeadFriday was so much fun – looking at Edward Bolman cartoons and artwork – that I thought I’d share some more of his work. Enjoy! Again, these are largely unadjusted scans. Some gems in there that show off Bolman’s skill and endless imagination! Remember, Edward sent me these pieces (and a bunch ofContinue reading “#NobleHeadFriday – More Edward Bolman art and cartooning!”

#NobleHeadFriday – Some of Edward’s original art
On this #NobleHeadFriday, I’m stepping back from Noble Head Funnies (but get it, it’s FANTASTIC) and instead sharing a small handful of the original art that Edward has sent me since starting this Phoenix Masters project. These are fast scans, only cropped with no touchups. While that’s a bit crude, it also gives you aContinue reading “#NobleHeadFriday – Some of Edward’s original art”
#NobleHeadFriday – Bolman’s favorite piece?
We’re up to issue five of Noble Head Funnies, the Edward Bolman/J.P. Noel minicomic series that serves as the foundation of the Phoenix Masters Noble Head Funnies collected edition (plus some more!). When I looked through the issue, trying to figure out what to share, one particular page hit me. It was this one: SuchContinue reading “#NobleHeadFriday – Bolman’s favorite piece?”
#NobleHeadFriday – Out of this world!
Today’s #NobleHeadFriday entry covers a couple topics, both from Edward Bolman and J.P. Noel’s Noble Head Funnies #4. The first is an excerpt that Bolman inserted from his other ongoing series, Nauga Comics. It has elements clearly drawn in the manner of Ed “Big Daddy” Roth, something I’m not sure I’ve ever seen out ofContinue reading “#NobleHeadFriday – Out of this world!”
#NobleHeadFriday – War and Fleas
I think we’ve all had enough exposure to Edward Bolman’s outstanding cartooning to fully appreciate one of my favorite recurring pieces of Noble Head Funnies: War and Fleas! Here’s the first part, appearing in Noble Head Funnies #2: I’m telling you, Tolstoy has nothing on Bolman and J.P. Noel. The product of the combined imaginationsContinue reading “#NobleHeadFriday – War and Fleas”
#NobleHeadFriday – A selection from the Soonday Moonday alphabet
On this #NobleHeadFriday, we’re jumping into the back matter of Edward Bolman’s amazing collection of cartooning. In addition to the title material, the Noble Head Funnies collection includes a number of extras. One section is the “Soonday Moonday” alphabet, where Edward posts rhymes for a ‘Letter-To-A-Page’ review of our 26 letters. If you’ve been anywhereContinue reading “#NobleHeadFriday – A selection from the Soonday Moonday alphabet”
#NobleHeadFriday – Stop and appreciate
Wrapping up our week of Phoenix Masters spotlights…might I suggest you pick up your coffee, take a nice long sip, and pause to consider what a great artist Edward Bolman is? I mean, consider what he has done on this page. Take your time, I’ll wait. Sigh. So good. The product of the combined imaginationsContinue reading “#NobleHeadFriday – Stop and appreciate”
Phoenix library “posters”
I’ve been back from the first of the summer trips for a few days now…digging into the to-do list in between family obligations, Dad Taxi runs, and World Cup soccer. One of the Phoenix to-dos is submitting applications for upcoming zine fests and related events. These operations often want to see samples, an easy taskContinue reading “Phoenix library “posters””
