# Charmingly Cheeky Illustrations These Sean Clark Comics are Smart and Sassy By Marie | Published 2011-09-14 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sean-clark-comics References: [booooooom](http://www.booooooom.com/2011/09/13/comic-artist-sean-clark/#more-30284) & [nicecleanfight.tumblr](http://nicecleanfight.tumblr.com/archive) If you didn’t think talking pizzas, a Harry Potter Sorting Hat and a magic eight ball had anything in common, it’s time to check out these hilarious and quirky Sean Clark comics. The 19-year-old artist creates hip and sassy illustrations using [Sharpie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharpie-studio) pens and watercolors, about a variety of topics and events from everyday life, all of them embodying the perfect amount of teen angst and badass attitude. Sean Clark’s artwork is smart and witty, with references to classic literature mixed in with [pop culture themes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcultureinspired-soda). One of my favorites includes some cheesy witty wordplay exchanged between a boy and a slice of pizza, with the boy telling the slice, “Don’t get saucy with me!” All of the Sean Clark comics are available for you to enjoy at his Tumblr page, ‘Drawing a Blank.’ This is one young artist that I’m sure will make a huge splash in the art and animation world. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Smart and Sassy Illustrations:** Opportunity for artists to create illustrations, comics, and animations with a mix of classic and modern themes. - **Quirky Everyday Moments:** Opportunity for creatives to explore everyday experiences with a comedic and relatable twist. - **Witty Wordplay and Pop Culture References:** Opportunity to incorporate clever wordplay and references to popular culture in various forms of media. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Animation:** Opportunity for young and emerging artists to showcase their skills and creativity through new forms of media. - **Publishing and Media:** Opportunity for publishers and media outlets to feature and promote creative works with relatable humor for a younger audience. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Opportunity for marketers and advertisers to incorporate clever and witty humor in their campaigns to appeal to a younger, more digitally-savvy audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cheekily Creative Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks.md) - [Cartoonish NFT Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-like-you-youre-weird.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Personality-Forward Bookmark Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humdrum-paper.md) - [Playful Cat Illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/open-meow.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Classical Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan.md) - [Illustrated Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasted-youth-x-tappei.md) - [Horrific Beer-Themed Comics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garage-beer.md) - [Playful Doodle-Emblazoned Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-cox.md)
