Really would have made sense to have uploaded this one at the beginning of the blog but no worries. This is the very first time that I came up with the Ulcer guy. As you can see, I decided to call him "heart attack man" after the Beastie boy's song. I drew it when I was sat in a park in the city centre of Sydney, Australia one lunch time amongst all these city types that were taking their lunch breaks.
I like this guy. He crops up quite alot, making little cameo appearances, calmly observing the inner city chaos in a zen like way.
....but that won't stop him being at his desk promptly on time every morning.

Hitting the town

He likes to drink........

Walking home.....

What does this character do? What does he represent? Where does he come from?
I don't know but he just won't go away. He seems to keep cropping up.
This is a character that I have created which at the moment is only known as "Ulcer Man". I'm intending to develop him and a whole worl for him to live in with other characters also. This is the first image that I created where I used real life images as a background. It seemed to work pretty well so I continued to create some more. I'll upload them also.
