Simpsons Sarcastic Clerk – mail art

Sewist — Thu, 21 Oct 2021 10:00:00 +0000

I wasn’t too sure what this Simpsons character is called, but apparently he’s commonly known as “Sarcastic Clerk”. I wanted to incorporate the address into the picture, so I thought the Sarcastic Clerk (who was working as a mechanic in the episode I was watching while drawing this) holding a clipboard with the address on, […]

Shopping – mail art

Sewist — Fri, 24 Sep 2021 10:00:00 +0000

I know it’s a bit out of character for Homer Simpson to go shopping, but I couldn’t resist adding those bags to his hand for this mail art competition envelope. I resisted the temptation to put the whole address in calligraphy, as I thought that might make it a little too challenging to read.

Otto Man – mail art

Sewist — Thu, 23 Sep 2021 10:00:00 +0000

I’ve drawn most of the main Simpsons characters, but I realised I’ve never drawn Otto the bus driver…. so he’s the feature on my mail art competition envelope this month. I thought his old-style headphones and hair would be a challenge to draw, but I think Otto Man is one of the easiest Simpsons characters […]

Faux calligraphy – mail art

Sewist — Thu, 26 Aug 2021 17:00:00 +0000

I did try a few different ideas for drawings for this envelope, but nothing seemed to be working. So rather than draw something and feel frustrated that it wasn’t up to my usual standard, I decided to just go with a faux calligraphy ‘mail art’ envelope instead. This also meant I was able to use […]

Hong Kong Phooey – mail art

Sewist — Thu, 26 Aug 2021 11:00:00 +0000

It’s been a long time since I’ve watched Hong Kong Phooey, but it’s also a cartoon I’ve only ever drawn once! So what better option for this mail art than Hong Kong Phooey jumping out of the filing cabinet? As you can probably guess, I didn’t leave myself much space for the address 😛 I […]

Football – mail art

Sewist — Wed, 28 Jul 2021 11:50:00 +0000

With Euro 2020 taking place, I had to draw a football themed envelope, although I’m not convinced that Donald Duck would get through the entire match without at least a yellow card! Because I want to make sure the address doesn’t run if the envelope gets wet, I used a permanent pen for the faux […]
