Well Known Southern California Artist/Author and Cartoonist Announces Publication of "Carl Allen Schoner's BIG Cartoon Sketchbook"

This massive, 400 page phonebook-size volume is both an extraordinary showcase of the artist's talents and wit, and a glimpse into the creative process of developing unique cartoon characters and style. Thousands of the artist's sketches, drawings and cartoons are included in this book - which spans twenty years of creative development - including 4 fully serialized newspaper style cartoon strips and hundreds of single panel magazine and free style cartoons.

The four serialized strips included in this collection include the hilarious "Hatch" and "Drummer" series, for which the artist is best well know, as well as "Misery Is…" a collection of daily single panel cartoons with a "misery" theme, and "Main Street," a series in development with an Asian American skateboarding teenager as its central character.

Also included is a whole section on magazine style cartoons, an entire section dedicated to doodling and sketching, and plenty of advice and inspiration for the any aspiring artist or cartoonist.

These artwork shown in this book is not only distinctive, expressively drawn and representation of the artist's unique style and technique, but the cartoonss make for hilarious reading as well! This book is a MUST HAVE for anyone who is interested in the creative process of cartooning.
