Cartoons By Jahraus Gallery
"My entire body of work is based on failure."
Everyone falls short occasionally and it's that common recognition that we cannot be perfect all the time which makes us laugh and brings us together. My job is to illustrate that fact through my work. I pencil sketch the original design then I ink the pencil sketch using a paintbrush, (Winsor & Newton 000), and India ink, (Higgins), on 100lb. Bristol board. Using a brush allows a line...
... variation which cannot be replicated with a rapidiograph pen. I believe the brush gives my work more of a sense of movement and energy than I
might be able to achieve without it.
I'm a lucky guy. I get to make people happy.
