Tara Reid's Cartoonish Cartoon

Tara Reid is once again attempting to distance herself from her boozy party girl image, but I've always thought she should own it. Embrace it. Exploit it! In a recent OK! Weekly interview, Tara tried to downplay her association with booze 'n boobs by referring to all the media attention surrounding it as "cartoonish". BRILLIANT! I dropped the magazine, grabbed my sketch book and immediately began crafting a Tara Reid character along with several storyboards. I've named my animation studio Floozy Toons, named the cartoon Drunken Party Girl, and have even written a few short episodes designed as interstitials. I'll secure a team of animators, find a network willing to run it, and will eventually hire writers and producers to develop a full-length animated sitcom. Tara, have your people contact my people. Medium: gouache on board, digital color.
Oh and speaking of boobs, Gallery of the Absurd was mentioned in the November issue of Maxim. We were also featured in the latest edition of Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung. Thank you!

Hey... Glad to see a new entry from you. That would be an interesting cartoon to see... And, if I may have the first dirty comment, did you mean to make the O's look like boobs? Something tells me given her reputation you did, but then again people have read unintentionally dirty things into your images. Man, she looks like a Bratz toy from hell. (I worked at McDonald's and had to put those silly things in boxes- that's how I know about them!) Oy.. and those too-low pants.. Well, I shouldn't take the fun away from everyone else by pointing everything out.
Shalom,
Kai

14, you are legendary! You can turn the trashiest celebs into adorable yet somewhat disturbing cartoons/anime/cute-in-that-saccharin-Japanese-way characters! (Like that cartoon crap that came out from Paris' dress? Genius!)

You could have something here 14. This has Adult Swim written all over it.

Fantastic as usual! Although the boobs could be a bit wonkier.

Forget the sitcom, 14, straight to a full length feature film. It would be brilliant.
Congratulations on your success, you deserve it.
I love your drunken pink elephants. They make me smile on the greyest of days.
Did you see Tara on Go Fug Yourself? Hell she looked beautiful, even classy, I'm torn between hoping it lasts and just waiting for the return of her inner bimbo.

14, I agree with Kai that the letter "O"'s in Floozy Tunes" are boobies, complete with nipples -- absolutely brilliant!
It's your eye for detail that makes you uniquely eloquent in your characterizations: the bug eyes, the roots, the long torso and lipo'd abs, the tipsy pink elephants.

That is really quite adorable.
Her eyes have such a wide open innocence.
and that mouth. those roots! But my favorite, for some reason? The hands.

Heilige Scheisse Vierzehn!!! Die Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung? Mensch! Das ist was .... !
Kinda rusty there! God, she really did look like a 2 bit whore didn't she? That fucking slut haircut with the black roots and those low riding pants! The fucking black eyeliner IN the rims of her eyes, not to mention the caked on mascara!! It is as if she went out of her way to look like a nasty skank! She looked damn good on Go Fug Yourself. I like the way you captured her weird ass stomach. Those pink elephants are so cute! I don't want them to die of vodka poisening!

I love the excellent colour choices! Yes, let's make this one a serial!

When you start getting invited to the parties Seth Green goes to, you better call me!
PS. Brill as always. Her torso scares me.

Can't wait to see the other cartoon-y friends that will help Tara along on her adventures. Cheetoh Brittney? Sticky Fingers Winona? The Artist Formerly Known as K-Fed? Hey, if Comedy Central thinks "Drawn Together" is funny, then you've got a gold mine.

Floozy Toons...brilliant.

I saw that in Maxim! It was a cool little shout out except they said artistS, not artist. perhaps thinking that 14 was your number out of a whole bunch or something. Yeah, I read Maxim even those it's stupid because at least it's stupid-funny whereas Cosmo is just stupid-boring.
Posted by: Javelin | November 15, 2006 at 11:13 AM
14, I have to wonder if these so-called actors have anyone that tell them how stupid they're behaving? I suppose in Tara's case, no. Doesn't matter. Her ship sailed after American Pie was released. Sad, how her claim to fame is some travel show on E, and her drunken pictures in the tabloids.
Good work.

Not sure if you did this intentionally but the elephant on the right is doing the Brass Monkey thing!
You put your right leg down
Your left leg up
Tilt your head back and finish the cup
Brilliant, as always. I love your blog!

God I only just heard she'd had some sort of botched boob job. Maybe she emptied of 40 onto the kerb in their honor and gave up the booze... yeah sure.

You know that great look that Bugs Bunny wore after he got clocked in the noggin with a frying pan--that utterly blown-to-hell cockeyed/glazed expression? Tara's got it here.
Beautiful.

This is one of your great pieces for several reasons.
I love how it is almost cautionary towards todays youth: "excessive partying can lead to, well...Let's take a look at Tara..."
The "yes I am in my 30's but still shop in the 'Juniors' section at fred segal" outfit is priceless. Bravo! Bravo!
The "Uh, no, I always wear this much eyeliner and I didn't have work done." feined look of surprise on her face.
And through it all she is the last one standing and even managed to outdo the pink elephants.
Thats Class.
P.S. Will you be my friend on my space? (I sound like a 12 year old) anyhow I would like to join your list if you have a journal/profile.
