  • Needless to say, I'm a big fan of comic books but not just the art and stories in comics but everything about the medium including the ads. One of the things that influenced the work that I do was those vintage novelty advertisements found in the pages of comic books.
    Here's are a link to some to the books and resources mentioned in the video:

    This is fantastic and so much fun! I grew up with some of these ads as well and love this. What a great collection of references. Love the 50’s futuristic spacey stuff, one of my favorite styles.

    This is so great Scott! I have a bunch of folders and pdf's Ive put together of comic book ads and I agree they are so inspiring. I think the nostalgia of looking at these while reading comics in my room as a kid is so powerful. I do tons of monster art based on these ads, I need to post some. So cool you did this!

    Those ads are printed un our memories. I was wondering about them not so long ago. The art done un pure drawings has a lot of power and certain misticism about it that gets stuck un the mind. Nice vídeo.

    Cool to see what you're inspired by. The thing I liked most about those ad pages was how busy they were.
    I'm influenced by the format of comics, hieroglyphic visuals and the presentation of graffiti, often rushed, often ugly.

    • @ScottSerkland
      @ScottSerkland  4 года назад

      Yeah I would but them in the category of newspaper car dealership ads, not very well designed but with the novelties there is a certain allure to them.

    Very cool! I love looking back at these old ads as well. I throw a lot of Retro-Sci Fi elements into my own comic, the Davy Rocket Almanac. I also loved the old Hostess superhero ads that used to be in comics.

    • @ScottSerkland
      @ScottSerkland  4 года назад +1

      Those Hostess ads were great with Twinkie The Kid, King Ding Dong, Captain Cupcake and Fruit Pie the Magician I wish they would bring them bake, well at least Count Chocula, Frankenberry and Boo Berry return year after year.

      Serkworks Art Labs I remember ones where Spidey would toss some would be thieves some Hostess snacks. They’d be so preoccupied with their deliciousness they don’t even notice the cops arresting them. Haha.

    Awesome video, Scott! That Ad Boy book has been on my wishlist for a while, I'm gonna have to pick it up! I have a similar one called Meet Mr. Product that's also really good. I'm planning on doing some ads for fake video games and stuff in the comic I'm working on. It'll be a lot of fun. Thanks for the inspiration!

    • @ScottSerkland

      If you dig thought the channel you will find some character design videos including a series where I redrew a lot of the superheroes I created as a kid. I hope to get back to doing more soon.

      Yeah I remember hearing some crazy stuff about the creator, sometimes you have to separate the creator from there work. H.P. Lovecraft is a good example of that.

    Next time take a Valium before filming. You're way too agitated and fidgety. Watching you gave me anxiety.
