Faces Of Newbridge Week 01: Chip
So, one of my New Year’s Resolutions was to draw more. And one of the things I’m always concerned with, drawing the same five characters more or less all year, that my overall flexibility and creativity when it comes to design might stagnate a bit. And I got to thinking, one thing that never stagnates is the constantly hilarious and amazing cast of characters that Tom Scharpling and Jon Wurster cultivate and add to nearly every week on The Best Show With Tom Scharpling On WFMU.
So I figured it might be a fun project to take whatever bizarre misanthrope that checks in with Tom any given week and draw him.
I’m calling it Faces Of Newbridge.
This week’s installment features Chip, a deliveryman for the JC Bites franchise who also runs the grotesque website, www.yousuckdealwithit.com. Feel free to subscribe to the podcast to hear more about Chip’s frightening proclivities towards humiliating the tragic and sad.
If you’re unfamiliar with the show, those links are a great place to start, as is the delightful repository for all things Scharpling: Friends Of Tom.
