Blast from the Past #257: Self-portrait as Turtle at a drawing board

I've done a few different cartoony self-portraits over the years, but I think this one -- drawn in 1988 -- may be my favorite. I can't recall if it was done for a specific reason, though I have a vague memory that it may have accompanied a print interview. Anyway, I like the drawing a lot, for some reason. -- PL

    I think I would agree, I really like this a lot too. Probably has something to do with the fun facial expression and the simple, but definite statement with just ink work. Nice!

    that reminds me of donatello 1 of 1 from mirage volume one.
    jack kirby himself is holding his pencil the whole issue and he kicks everybodys ass with it.

    Southpaws are the best Sly Stallone,Peter Laird, and me! :D

    A bit of a mustache it looks like. I didn't remember that from older pics.

    Very cool portrayal. Now only if Peter the ninja turtle could be drawn with Stan the samurai rabbit.
