Description
This is the latest/last commission I have bought from RG. It was an add-on to a Kickstarter book campaign. On this occasion I gave Mr Geary carte blanche/artist’s choice to draw whatever he wanted, and I am very pleased with the outcome.

I am trying to stop myself from buying any more RG published pages because I have so many of them and I would like to give other people an opportunity to own an RG original. That is why I am trying to limit myself to only commissions, and there seems to be a sense of closure with this drawing as it appears to be the fellow who recurs in RG’s work and is the same person who appears on the front cover of the At Home with Rick Geary and Housebound with Rick Geary collections albeit with different neckwear – a nattily-dressed gent with a gravity-defying quiff. He also recalls the self-portrait I have uploaded as the first in this tranche of drawings because he too averts his gaze but in a much more dramatic fashion. He acts as an example for how you have to get on in life in this day and age when you are beset by all the troubles in this world and the unending onslaught of depressing news – get your head down and soldier on.

Thank you to Mark Rosenbohm and Rick Geary for providing me with this drawing.

Of course, easy to see when you mention it but it escaped me. Every alternative comic artist has been influenced either directly or indirectly by Crumb.

The averted gaze makes it a compelling piece. The rolling gait and heel strike is excellent, echoed by the arm movements. While this fella may be dealing with the trouble of life, the foot rolling will ensure that he has no plantar fascia aches to concern him. Lovely linework and real fluidity.

Thank you for the health tip to avoid a common foot ailment. If plantar fasciitis featured on the page of diseases in the human body I could claim to have had a third example.
