April 23, 2010 - The Four Seasons of the Aardvark

You might have picked up my penchant for commissions with themes, especially when they are a series. This is influenced, in particular, by Art Nouveau artists like Alphonse Mucha, who generated 4-parters using "The Seasons" as a motif, or 12-parters using the months of the year, etc. Dave's early portfolio using the 7 Deadly Sins is another. There are lots of examples.

In response to the most-excellent offer to get customized Cerebus head-sketches on A-V paper, I requested "The Four Seasons of the Aardvark" ... and Mr. Sim knocked this one out of the park, as far as I am concerned. The running calendar in the background that links all these together is a masterfully creative touch, way above and beyond the original request.
