Welcome to my brand-new weekly webcomic!
My name is Charlie Swerdlow. I’ve been an art fanatic all my life, and an illustrator and graphic designer for over a decade.
You can check out my work, share and follow, buy and commission art, and learn more at HistoryDepicted.com
The artworks featured in these panels are all historic pieces in the public domain. You should look into any artists whose work you like!
I hope to engage people to share and keep coming back, and earn enough support to cover the time I put into this strip. In the long run, I’d like these comics available as prints and books in museums and galleries around the world!
And why is everyone a cricket? Crickets chirp! It’s a play on “everyone’s a critic” (a long-standing artists’ complaint), combined with the idea that all this dialogue is as unimportant as random noise, though I mostly just hope it sounds memorable and fun.
