Newspaperish Cartoons
My style would best be described as newspaper style cartoons. However i don't like to limit myself in that regard. I am especially interested in teaching life's lessons with what i do.
I consider myself a mirror cartoonist. Single panel cartoons that act as "mirrors" to ourselves.
I like to call my "theme", Cave-Candles.
Here are some great samples of my work.....
There are 2 folders.....Enjoy!
I suppose the best way to describe your art is to simply show it so that will be all I say.
Cheers,
-Chris Blake-

My Art work can be found in Museums and Private-Public Collections Through Out the World. Have received major Artist Grants and Fellowships. My Life long Dream of being an Artist Continues to be a reality, since at age 4 i knew that is what i wanted to be...
With the support of Family, Friends, Teachers and The extended community...And of course you the Public at large that purchases my creations, I am so "Very" Lucky to be doing what i Love this Life time and plan to continue for a long time.
My first completed hard cover edition was "The Magic of Hanalei Bay". I followed this with "A Mother's Love" and "Eugene and the Magical Carrot Tree". Currently I am working on another "Eugene" book titled "Eugene and His Magical Dream". I am also developing "Dancing by the Light of The Moon", a story about a storm that brought so much rain to Sonoma County, California, the local fish took a vacation; they journeyed to the Sea of Tranquility on the Moon. All drawings and most of the stories are completed for these new books and they could be in print within the next year.
Because I self publish, I am able to continue creating my books on the finest recycled paper stock available, and use soy based inks. Since publishing my first books in the early 1970's, I have made it my practice to use green and recycled materials.
My images come from my relationship with the landscape, people and animals that I have known. This personal connection to my subject matter allows the images to come alive on paper and canvas.
I would consider collaborating with other writers and authors to create the same intense, colorful imagery for projects. You may contact me for a conversation if you have a serious interest. Please include your phone number in a short email and we will go from there.
To see more images, please visit my website, the World of Victor "Zak" Zaikine, California's Neo-Folk Artist.
My second children's book, A Mother's Love is now available for purchase. It was written and illustrated in my studio in the northern California town of Sebastopol, where I've lived for over 14 years. It is here where I will continue to work and produce my art and many more books for the child in all of us. This collectors first edition is limited to 1000 numbered copies. I will personally date and sign each book and provide you with a small, original drawing along with my autograph.
This book features pencil, pen and watercolor paintings to accompany the sweet story of a cat family reuniting. The pictures from the book are similar, in style, to William Steig's, one of my heroes. A Mother's Love is based on a true story that happened, in the 70's, when my family lived north of Healdsburg, California, west of the end of Dry Creek Road.
This book has been printed on recycled paper and printed with soy based inks.
Thank you very much for your patronage and your continued interest in my creative endeavors.
Blessings
Zak Zaikine

Quality Works Graphics and Illustrations
by Frank A. Lowe
(Orange County, California)
Let's work together to make some positive changes, that just might alter your whole life! I'm ready when you are!
Quality Works Illustrations
Hello friends, I'm Frank Lowe (Illustrator of picture books for children 4-12 of age.)
As an artist, I have worked in several variations of the artistic field for over 20 years. As a graphic designer, I am an Art Director of my own business, where I do original design work for small businesses that vary from logos and labels, to brochures, on up to full corporate identification packages.
When I worked in animation, I did everything from character development to story-board working for Marvel Films on the Spider-Man Show for Fox Television, in addition to the Iron-man Fantastic Four Hour that was syndicated. I have also worked for Hyperion and Pixie Box International doing the same type of work. Furthermore, I have freelanced story-boards for Hanna Barbara and Nickelodeon. As I continue to do graphic design, I have ventured into the field of illustrating children’s books in the age groups of 4-12. Currently, I've just finished a book with www.OliveLeafPublications.com. The book is now in publication and is called “The King’s Silverware”. My wife and I are working on several different types of book series which are now in development. The name of our first series will be called “Emily’s Magic Hat” which will consist of several installments.
I have a wide range of style due to my animation background and I am proficient in all medias related to this profession. My costs are negotiable so to work with in your budget and payment plans are available. To see some of my work right now, I invite you to go to www.myspace.com/lowelives and please e-mail me a line or two there, so to let me know what you think.
For any other questions, please call 562-691-4050
I have the confidence in your work to do this, DO YOU?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Frank A. Lowe

Haunted Scribbles
by Jake
(Sacramento)
the wizard graff
The Pope Of Colors can draw Your Book
Haunted scribbles, from the part of your mind that writes the dreams you forget, the moment you wake up.
Inks spread with needles, and scooped by hand are used mostly on pieces of recycled paper and other like flat surfaces.
I received my degree in Illustration at the Western School of Shape and Form in the year Two thousand-and five.
