Here’s Marnie and Pedro! I usually draw folks while they’re talking and I miss a big smile like his shown above. But then I would’ve missed his love of superheroes (Especially Green Lantern and NOT Rob Liefeld!).

Here are caricatures of Joseph and Meghan from Sunday!

More caricatures drawn at an event today.

Later I met with Robert Baurle and Ken Culotta at a Denny’s to talk politics and write gags.

Here’s a color caricature I did of these two lovely ladies today. Met them at Beefy King in Orlando and drew and painted the whole thing there.

Here are a couple caricatures from a party I drew at today.

Here’s a color caricature I quickly did Sunday of Isabella.

Some drawings from this past weekend….

I ran across ‘The Monkees Go Mod’ while perusing a bookstore and I thought I’d share a couple pages of cartoon artwork from the 1967 book. Both are drawn by Dick Hodgins, Jr. If the style has a Dennis the Menace type look, that’s because Hodgins was an assistant to Hank Ketcham drawing Ketcham’s strip ‘Half Hitch’ and helping with the Dennis strip.

Hodgins’ dad was also a cartoonist. For years he was staff cartoonist for The Orlando Sentinel in Orlando, Florida. While at the Sentinel he drew a history of Orlando comic strip and a ton of other art. Later Hodgins, Sr. joined his friend Jim Ivey at Jim’s ‘The Cartoon Museum’ to teach cartooning classes. I was one of the lucky ones to take one of those classes. I’ll have to post some Hodgins, Sr. art sometime.

Caricatues from this past weekend!!! Martha below was shy and modeled the caricatures sans herself.

This is a caricature illustration I did a few weeks ago for Donna Hartsfield, above. I met her at a restaurant near in Winter Park, Florida, and produced the entire piece there.  I didn’t want to post the photo until the recipient received it. Jeff was presented with the art last weekend, so here’s the photo of Donna and the art.

I found myself making more caricatures on July 4th. The one above was had watercolor added. The one below is a bit light because of the lighting when photographed.
