Original Suffer Head

Been very busy, with work upon me now, and haven't drawn much interesting during the breaks. So here are pictures of some artwork I've got in my place.

It's a papier-mache head painted by Caro Caron, part of an independent comics show called Komikaze, I think, that happened a bunch of years ago, in the 90s. Some cool bands were playing, and we comic artists painted papier-mache balloon-based heads to hang in the auditorium, and we were able to take them home when the show was over. I did a black cat with ears I cut out from a failed balloon head, and Caro liked it so much, we traded heads.

Unfortunately, my black cat got trashed in one of Caro's many moves, but I still have this character, who rotates slowly below the light in my work room. You can see him from the window in the street, if you look up to the second story.

He's pretty dusty, but I love Caro's work, and am happy to have an example hanging around.

UPDATE: Hot dog, I found a link about the show (above), but it's a little sad, now. Certainly the event didn't turn out to be a regular thing like Angouleme. Comic artists (especially anglos in Montreal) remain hard to herd, unless there's a good shepherd like Rupert Bottenberg or Salgood Sam. (Organizers of past Montreal comic Jams and other events)
