Tar Illium (sans text)

    So far, I have 5 separate strips (different titles/multiple strips), and a gag panel. And I’m working on one other. Lots of drawing to do!!

   3 of these of these strips are Biblically based, as I feel it is important for kids (all readers, actually) to know the truth of scripture 

  You know, normally I don’t like to be so direct when I do a piece that is a social commentary. Not saying I don’t do it, but it is rare. But I have noticed, particularly over the last 10 years or so, that cartoonists seem to be overwhelmingly on the left. And not always in an objective way. I’m sorry – but the news that’s coming out paints a pretty grim picture  – but it’s a picture we all need to see, despite the cries of “Fascism.”

A day of Drawing

    These are the drawings I’m working on today: A political cartoon, 2 pages for the coloring book I’m working on, and 2 superhero drawings for an upcoming class.

   Busy day. Love it!

Saturday Funnies!

  I am putting together a newspaper comics section. Here is the very first illustration of 2025 – the Header. I am planning on this being filled with several of my comics, as well as some games/puzzles, and a readers section. I’m also planning to offer this both on-line, and in print. Haven’t decided if, for the print edition, I will go broadsheet (large), or Tabloid. I’m leaning towards tabloid for a number of reasons.

  The print version will be quarterly. On-line version probably through “Sub-stack.” Both by subscription.

Sidewalk fun!

 

 

 

 

 

Spent some time updating my sidewalk sign. I’ll be using it for several appearances. First up, a “Trunk or Treat” at the Holy Ghost Society in West Warwick (where the La-La is held). See you there!

Doing the heavy liftin’

   Just finished this set of ‘collaterals’  – self caricature to be used for different materials. Pencil, Pen and ink, sepia toned, and full color. 

  Believe it, or not, I used to have a license to drive one of those things! (That and $4.71 will ALMOST get me a cup of coffee!
