Busy day starting with helping out at Fiesta in the Park with a fantastic crew led by Nell Atkins and Bettielee Sansone. Very crowded and lots of ice cream and snow comes sold during the rather warm day. Below is a photo of the crowd at the event.

Later met with old buddy, Ken Culotta, to talk politics and write some editorial cartoon gags. At the top is a sketch of Ken taking in info from an iPhone. Below Ken ponders how best to stage a gag. Agonizing, isn’t it? ….Waitaminute! I think Culotta’s taking a nap!

A few caricatures drawn Saturday night.

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 are a couple sketches I did at the monthly Merry Philosophers meeting in Orlando. I used to attend this meeting 6 years ago and got away from it. Mostly because they met so far away from where I am. It so happened this meeting coincided with me needing to pick up my father at the airport, so I combined the two. My old friend Jim Saunders came along, too. Had to scoot out early to pick up my father whose plane ended up being delayed and I found myself waiting at a nearby Denny’s for the plane to land.

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

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

Above is a pile of work I knocked out at the local coffee shop in about 2 hours.

Some drawings from this past weekend….

I took advantage of free entry into Florida State Parks Saturday and got to eight parks… and sketched away. I also got a lot of Swampy photos some of which can be found over at Swampy’s Florida.

To the right is a sketch I drew at Crystal River Archaeological State Park.

Next are fish lingering over the spring boils at Rainbow Springs State Park.

The turtles are from Homosassa Springs State Park.
