grant the gecko hunter cartoon
DESCRIPTION
I drew this spoof spin-off cartoon in 1995 while working night-shift at a Petrochemical Company. It was based on around a person I used to work with (Grant) who kept Geckos (lizards) as a hobby . At the time, Steve Irwin’s “Crocodile Hunter” series was on television, so it seemed a perfect thematic marriage – but I also think sleep deprivation played a part ... While it is sad that Steve Irwin is no longer with us, it is my hope that he too would have found this amusing. A sequel or series in the making here…?TRANSCRIPT

I drew this cartoon in 1995 while working nightshift at a Petrochemical Company
It was based on around a person I used to work with (Grant) who kept Geckos as a
hobby
At the time, Steve Irwin’s “Crocodile Hunter” series was on television, so it
seemed a perfect thematic marriage – but I also think sleep deprivation played a part
While looking back in semi-detached artistic horror at this cartoon, I thought I would share this in order to amuse or at least
make you feel good about your own drawing talents
While it is sad that Steve Irwin is no longer with us, it is my hope that he too would
have found this amusing.
A sequel or series in the making here…?
