A bunch of old cartoonist pals, and a bunch of other cartoonists, got together today to draw for children at Florida Hospital Orlando. Here’s Noreen & George Pieper, me, Dana Summers and Mark Simon.

Thanks to Mark Simon and Heather Worley (Thank you, Heather, for this photo!) for putting this together as part of the Florida Chapter of the National Cartoonists Society. Also, thanks, Mark, for getting the chapter restarted again!

I penciled this illustration for a celebration of a well known fried chicken location. I’ll be inking it soon.

This is a black and white illustration I’ve done for a business and hope to show the color version soon!

While pulling an advertisement for Swampy’s Florida, I also pulled this Henry comic strip from the April 12th, 1976 edition of the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.

Something else my Swampy’s Florida does is provide artwork for Florida based businesses. This is a sketch for a large project I’m working on. I look forward to showing more of this project very soon.

I was asked to incorporate 6 people in a simple football scene. The thought from the client was that I would have them all standing around. It’s funner with movement, so I illustrated a game!

Paul Skinner went to a performance of news personalities Dana Perino and Greg ‪#‎Gutfeld‬. After the event he was one of many to wait to get books signed. As Paul’s turn came he informed Gutfeld he was there to get a book signed by Perino. The photo below shows the reaction.

Paul asked me to enhance the scene a bit. So I added Perino’s famed dog Jasper and Gutfeld’s odd passion for unicorns, possibly his only real friends.

Lots done in 3 hours at this coffee shop! Finished 1 painting, almost finished another, started another #Florida one plus sketches for a client….and STILL way behind!

Finished one painting, to be completely revealed later, and a great start on two more in just a few hours! Finished watercolor preparation and started painting a group illustration that features caricatures of a family involved in a football game. Another was penciling, preping and adding watercolor to a caricature of a child with their pet dog and video games and psychiatry! The third has to remain a mystery illustration including a caricature of a friend

Now on to home!

Been doin’ that interactive illustrative life coaching thing this evening! A return visit for this family event. Great folks that included fellow civil servants, educators and an opportunity to get some nifty photos of a really cool historic home, now hair salon, I’ve wanted to get closeup photos of in St. Cloud!
