After last year’s enormously fun watercolour commission frenzy (see the results here and here), I’ve decided this year to try doing a sketch a day (for as long as it’s still fun). Each week will have a different theme*, and what better theme to kick things off than Portraits of Cartoonists! And what better cartoonist to start with than…
Writer, illustrator, Boy Scout and tortured artist, Georges Remi is best known as the creator of Tintin. Remi pioneered the Ligne Claire style that dominated Franco-Belgian comics for a generation. An asteroid discovered in 1953 is named in his honour (1652 Hergé) and another (1683 Castafiore) bears the name of one of his creations, the Milanese Nightingale.
