About Me
- Marten Jallad
- Georgia
- I have enjoyed drawing since 1st picking up the JAWS issue of MAD magazine back in the mid '70's. After contributing to a number of publications I self published THWAK magazine, which led to an editorial position at CRACKED magazine in late 2003. After the magazine was sold 2 years later a new opportunity of Toy Show promotion came along. JOElanta (annual GI Joe and Action figure show) and various Great Atlanta Toy Shows have been a blast to put on with many great friendships being made continually. We are currently working on JOElanta 2011 our 11th anniversary as well as a Toy and Diorama Museum here in Atlanta. Check it out www.joelanta.com - Life is good!

Welcome to the THWAK studios blog, home of artist, cartoonist, publisher and Toy show promoter Marten Jallad. Where our mission is to make everyone smile.
I just hope you guys got along and didn't fight.
ReplyDeleteMarten, I picked up your card at Texas Roadhouse in Snellville GA. I don't know if you put the card there or one of your fans did.
I'm an artist, so I was immediately interested in seeing your art.
I used to read Cracked! like crazy back in the mid-seventies. I'm not sure if I started with the Jaws issue or not, but I'm pretty sure I had that issue. Some of the movies I hadn't seen because I was too young, I could get an idea about from Cracked!...and I remember Cracked! had the exclamation point after the name back then. I liked Mad Magazine sometimes also, but I didn't "get" all the humor, and I got most of it in Cracked! I have a corny sense of humor, and people either love me or get confused by that.
Well, I just wanted to say hi, and I'll keep looking around for your art samples. If you would like to mail me some of your business cards, I'm sure my clients would enjoy it - I can include them when I mail my portraits. Most of my orders come from online and are sent all over the country, and sometimes internationally if the exchange rate works in my favor. LOL!
