Ronald Searle Tribute



I was recently asked to contribute to a little thank you / tribute book for the amazing cartoonist Ronald Searle. Like most people in animation and cartooning today, Ronald Searles work has had a profound impact on myself as an artist. He's simply one of the best artists ever, and to have a chance to say thanks with a little tribute drawing of my own, I jumped at the chance. Anyways, below is my contribution to the tribute book being put together for him.

If by chance you haven't seen is work, or have never heard of him, just google his name ( Ronald Searle ) and be prepared to be blown away.

Oh my, how nice of you to honour Ronald Searle in this way! I grew up with naughty St Trinians sketches to admire and still own his book: "The King of the Beasts and other Creatures".I love your sketches and you have really mastered those very expressive line work! Regards from Cape Town.

Awesome! I'd love to see more of these Searle/New Yorker/Far Side-ish one-panel gags from you. The expression on the photographer's face is awesome, and I've believe seen that beard around Berkeley.

The good news is that someone in London is working on a new book of his work that might come out next year. The man is the man!

Hey Nate. beautiful work as always. Love the concept, got a good laugh out of it. And Ronald Searle is the man!! It is absolutely unreal the impact he has had on the illustration and animation community. :)
