Art For Art’s Sake #361 – Catching Up With Ty Templeton’s ‘Funnies’
by Richard Bruton
Art For Art’s Sake, where the whole glorious vista of comic art awaits. Well, not all of it in a week, but you know what I mean…
This week, we’re checking in with the great Ty Templeton for more of his Funnies. That’s something to end with, which means there’s plenty of gorgeous comic art to look at first …

“I’m struggling with the minutiae of colouring this image. It’s taken a long time to work on in my spare time, but it’s getting there. It’s not finished yet. I don’t think the start/stops have helped, but it’s good practice nonetheless.”

Now, as promised, a catch-up with some of the wonderful Funnies that Ty Templeton regularly puts up on his socials. Sure, I did some of them back in Art For Art’s Sake #303, but that was a year back, and there’s a lot more funny to look at now.
Basically, a lot of them are Templeton doing his parody of a classic comic strip, but not all of them. However, what they all are is bloody good…
And now for a few that don’t stick to that classic comic strip parody template…
