The lady on the right looks truly sinister. Superb drawing once again.

Definitely "Bamforth's post card" the top one , Lewis. And the expressions on their faces....well, I don't know how you manage it.

Excellent Lew, and thank you for the explanation. I once work with a chap who tried to use an old fashioned word in his work each day.

Still recognizable as a Lewis Cooper and just in time to go bed on - might have nightmares - but one must suffer for art ?? Another beaut drawing - would love to know what you feed your imagination on !!

Agree with the Bamforth card comment and the bottom 2 are definitely Lewis humour with great expressions.

Top pic is my usual method for cartoons, a few lines, bright color, then drawing reworked with pen. Quick and easy. Bottom pic...much more elaborate pen drawing plus a thin watery color wash. As I prefer bright color, I should have left it as a pen drawing. (I didn't want to rework all those pen lines.) Ludophobia is another of those old unused words. It means 'fear of losing games.' (These words fascinate me, but I'll never remember them...except 'cattywampus', like that one).

About the Artist

Lewis Cooper

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
