Bobby B’s Cheap Poster Emporium’s New Mascot

TOP del.icio.us

I was approached to develop a cartoon character as a mascot for Bobby B’s Cheap Poster Emporium on the basis of my previous cartoon work. The character was to be wearing a top hat, spats, and a creamy 3 piece suit. In the drawing discussed below, the character was to be somewhat goofy (and fun) looking, slightly bending over, tipping his hat, with one leg forward. Like most art I create, I started with a rough sketch to visually clarify the verbal instructions given me.

Of course, Bobby B was a lot of fun, so we had to develop a series of poses for Bobby. Here Bobby B is next to his sign.

And here is Bobby B twirling his cane as he dances along the way.

This project took about two weeks of in depth conversation between the client and the artist. It was a pleasure to work with a client who was clear, concise and always available to discuss this project’s details. We are both very pleased at how this turned out. In the words of the client: “Awesome!!!! Easy to work with Great Communication Amazing Graphics and Logo!!!!”
