Description
This page made me think about the challenge of drawing a single image a page coloring book. You can just put out a dull image and have the kids lethargically deface it with their crayons. Or you can do what Irving Tripp (attributed) did here. He told a whole story of greed and disappointment in the least amount of lines. And will there be retribution? we are all rooting for Little Lulu to come in like Kali the Destroyer and let Tubby know what the universe does to ice cream thieves. I give the artist so much credit (be it Tripp or not) for doing the most with a thick line and a minimal approach. This is one of the better coloring book pages I have in the collection.

Fun piece. Does this mean your sabbatical from posting/collecting is over?

I suppose I am back, but a little different than the way I did it before. I still love the hobby, but some of the features of the hobby rubs me the wrong way. I discovered that dealing with commissions and art reps can be soul crushing. I had a bad experience with an art rep but I began to realize that I was letting one person and one instance make me hate all the things I love about OA. Over the past month I started getting work again. I am once again focusing on being a frugal collector, meaning nothing over 100 dollars. And for the forseeable future, my collecting will be focusing on art for coloring books, activity books and other ultra disposoable types of media. I also have gotten very into indi artists making zines and low print run work. The indi artists are delightful to work with and there work is so inventive and full of energy that many more established artists have neglected. For the near future, I am back, but I am staying in my lane far away from the main thoroughfare of OA collecting.
