My Illustration of Little Boy & Dick van Dyke! – September 8th, 2016

by on Sep.08, 2016, under Caricatures, Cartooning, Celebrity Illustrations

2016-0908-dickvandyke

Just finished meeting of the Friends of Silver Springs State Park & got some work done!

The little boy I drew, I am told, starts laughing & getting extremely excited anytime dick van Dyke appears on a TV screen. It started while he watched, the film, ‘Mary Poppins’. The parents have shown him other videos of van Dyke and the reaction is the same. The boy is all of a year and a half old.

Penciled and prepped during the meeting this illustration of a young child person who has a fascination with the perpetual energetic Dick van Dyke. This is the prep before I add watercolor. I’ll post the finished painting tomorrow.

Also pencilled and inked a brilliant political cartoon, too. Ken Culotta called me before the meeting with the gag. Finish of that can be seen in the areas I post those. 😀

My New Artwork: Christmas Jingle Elf! – September 4th, 2016

by on Sep.04, 2016, under Cartooning

2016-0904-Jingle

A part of a project I’m working on: Artwork for a Christmas themed run. Here’s the easy part for me. Now to put together the rest. I’ll post when done.

There’s artwork of mine for another run in November for a different organization and I’m trying to make sure the artwork for that looks different. An alligator involved. I’ll post that very soon! Does the elf look different enough from the Critter Run artwork, Kathy Bailey?

Primary Fun! Ducks and Politics. – August 31st, 2016

by on Aug.31, 2016, under Cartooning

2016-0830-DuckMeRandyMoore

I’ll not get into my favorite subject, politics, here. But I will post this fun photo of me, Randy Osborne, David Moore and a duck! We were at a Campaign Victory party as primary results rolled in Tuesday night. Me and Randy support David, worked on his campaign and so glad he won. One issue that angered me was that his opponent had, while in office, ordered the death of a set of ducks that complaints had come in about. A rotten thing to do.

So as the three of us gathered for a photo, I quickly drew the duck to join us as we all support the ducks, too!

Rob’s Travel Finds: Paul Coker Christmas Tie! – August 30th, 2016

by on Aug.30, 2016, under Books, Cartooning

2016-0829-RobTravelDis-PaulCokerTie

While on the road this past weekend I did some poking around for books a short bit. Found some great books, including books by Fulton Sheen, Sidney Hook, a further study of Hook’s work, Galbraith’s view of the ’29 crash, Bernard Shaw’s ’16 Sketches’, biographies of Shaw, Sinclair Lewis, O’Neill (I hadn’t seen before), bunch of Jacksonville History & a few nifty, obscure books of nifty, obscure subjects. Pretty good for @ $20. 🙂
 
I also stumbled upon something else i had never seen before: A Hallmark Christmas tie illustrated by Paul Coker (MAD magazine, Rankin-Bass programs). Anyone know when this came out? I’m guessing there was more than one. Seems to be no more than 20 years old.

My newest painting: Little Girls in a Unicorn Fantasy – August 29th, 2016

by on Aug.29, 2016, under Caricatures, Cartooning, Illusration

2016-0827-Bryce

Here’s a little painting I did for a family and delivered this past weekend. It’s full of unicorns, rainbows and mermaids. A staunch sense of reality is absent here, in case you haven’t discovered that yourself.
 
Materials used: Watercolor board, watercolor, a bit of color pencil and outlined with various marker brushes.

My ‘Man in the Swamp Report’ – Drawing a Tapioca Celebration! – June 28th, 2016

by on Jun.28, 2016, under Cartooning

Plan on posting a video a week of me inking a Swampy’s Florida Celebration cartoon each week over at the Swampy Facebook/Blog/You Tube/etc. page. Here’s this week’s involving tapioca, as most videos are about.

You’ll have to go to the page to see why the two look a bit distressed and see future videos. Best to do is go to the Swampy’s Florida page, click ‘Like’ and scroll down and click ‘All On’.
