Waiting to Watch
Something different from the Push Button Heads comic series this week—a compilation of scenes from past cartoons, woven into a pattern.
How many scenes from past Push Button Heads comics do you recognize? I’m calling this illustration, “Waiting to Watch.” I’ve designed it so that the drawing repeats seamlessly and infinitely (you know, in case you wanted this printed on a fitted sheet 😉).
The composition is based on a watercolour illustration I made in the early days of my cartoon series, just as everyone was coming out of the two-year pandemic crisis. I wanted to celebrate what it means to “gather. I wanted to honor those magic moments when oddball characters in all shapes and sizes, each with their own stories and preoccupations, come together in shared space. Depicting characters sitting in a theatre or stadium seemed like the perfect way to explore this theme. See below.
