Shot Alive

As well as great photographers on flickr, there are some wonderful artists. Eduardo Delabarra has an extraordinarily inventive mind and an ability to make great cartoons and caricatures. He does a mixture of comics strips and cartoons, and because he lives in Chile, some of his cartoons are in Spanish which I cannot understand. However the humour of his drawings, the satire and the side splitting funniness do not need any translation. All the drawings in this article are by Eduardo Delabarra unless otherwise noted.

The characters may be wonderfully satirical:

103. Sir Regor the Dislexic Knight & 8.The Red Knight

Sometimes ranging from whimsical to comically scary:

Zombie Nº49 Vincent vanNo Ears & Zombie Nº582 Ol'Crypt Breath

Each character has new unique attributes that entertain:

TEA TIME & Pirate Nº140 Esteban the Monkey,

His female characters may be very shapely:

GUERRERA & SALÚ!!!

Or sometimes a little wicked, or a lot scary:

CROQUIS & Pirate Nº225 MACHO ANN

The cartoons often show raw emotional states:

Zombie Nº33 JUAN OF THE SEARED FLESH & A BAD BAD GUY
Solución energética 

And we can easily identify with what they are experiencing:

T.V. & FEELINGS

Then one day this cartoon appeared:

SILVER XADRIAN, by eduardodelabarra
Caricature of one of my contacts.

To this I posted a comment "Excellent. But be careful or all your contacts will want one (hint hint)"

And a little later this appeared:

PHOTOGRAPHER, by eduardodelabarra

And I added the comment "He looks like someone I know ;-)"

I had been caricatured by Eduardo!

It was time to get my own drawing tools out (the computer ones) and make a caricature of Eduardo:

"Cartoon Explosion" by Ray Tomes

The cartoons jump out of his head, off his pencil and paper and into the world, entertaining all who know him and splitting sides around the world. Thank you E.D.

Eduardo Delabarra's photos are here, and he has done many hundreds of cartoons.

Note: I did the central character (ED) and the fireworks. All the other characters are ED's creations.

To this Eduardo stated "Thank you! I liked much. I thought that you were doing only photography, but I see that also you are a great draftsman thank you..."

And I said "I am very pleased that you like it. The alternative was that I get in trouble for copyright violation. ;-)"

In one of his many creations after this, Eduardo produced:

Zombie Nº577 Faraon the Empty Headed

And I commented "These holes in the head seem to be catching. ;-)"

Eduardo's stream of creations continued:

Zombie Nº152 Homo Sapiens Neandertalensis & Pirate Nº156 Parrot Face

And the world goes on being entertained and caricatured by this inspired, brilliant and prolific artist. Thank you Eduardo Delabarra!
