Bushcraft cartoon/pin-up anyone?

[Biker]

It clearly says in the title for this particular forum that's it DIY (which is what I've done) and Traditional Crafts (of which art has been since cavemen smeared soot on a wall)

I'll leave you to interpret the "hands on stuff" yourself

So with these criteria in mind here's something I hope you appreciate and won't get me burnt at the stake for posting it here.

Yes, I draw pin-up stuff, you may have seen another example of my stuff in the man-knitting comp I set recently. Since I've got re-interested in Bushcraft I thought I'd combine the two. I have a ton of ideas and scenario's to put Betty in so stay tooned for future episodes of her top tips.

VERY funny Duncan. Laughed out loud at that punchline.

I'm a big fan of Larson but I hadn't seen that joke, or maybe I had and just forgot. I'm of that age now.

I have lots of idea but that doesn't mean you can't suggest any, please.

I can see lot of cartoons featuring Betty offering good advice with a comic twist in the coming months.

T-Shirts? Hmmm now there's a thought. I have posted it to my redbubble profile here: http://www.redbubble.com/people/biker/art/4768390-1-bushcraft-betty01

Thanks for all the replies, glad it's accepted without upsetting anyone, hopefully it'll stay like that.

That is Epic! Wow, there is some great art coming from our members, it's fantastic I can't wait to see the next one!

 

[Eric_Methven]

Aw! I love it! Bushcraft Betty can share my hammock any day of the week.
On a nutritional note - nice mellons! (Two of your five a day!)

This is one thread I am looking forward to following.

Keep them rolling Biker.

Not a complete joke, but maybe she has a friend called Kelly who is upset when Betty borrows her kettle.

You should drop Bushcraft magazine a line, your stuff is in a different league to the cartoons they're currently publishing.

 

[gowersponger]

quality prety sure you could make good money selling these at game fairs etc.

Dump the flint, get a stove and just chill out

(real advert by the way)

There's a magazine? OK, now you've got my undevided attention. Thing is I live in France so finding the right magazine at the local newagents is a tad difficult.

Is it this one? http://www.bushcraftmagazine.co.uk/ let me know please. Ta. Anyway I've written to the contact address there and sent them the Bushcraft betty jpg. We'll see what happens. Thanks for suggesting it.

Thanks too for all the replies since I was here last time. Love that advert and there was me thinking mine would be considered sexist by some!

I'll try and post a new Betty per week as I find the time to draw her between my other commitments.

This is cracking. Love it!:You_Rock_

 

[Biker]

Thanks Littlebiglane.

Well, I just sent an email off to Bushcraft magazine with the drawing attached to the email addresses listed at their website. Hopefully something will come of it.

My one fear is the dreaded "They" plagiarise my idea and run with it themselves.

I'll let you know if I hear anything from them.

Big thanks to Andythecelt for suggesting the idea :You_Rock_ mate

Have a good 'un, catch ya later.

Yep that's the one.

Think that one was my suggestion.
