For Free Comic Book Day – Champions for Champions: Battle for Ocala comic book.

by on May.05, 2022, under Cartooning

Thought I’d add to the Free Comic Book Day.
I did this over two years ago with the Champions for Champions art class I volunteer to teach. I put it together in a week, but ran headlong into the virus mess and this never got printed.
It’s a short, simple tale featuring Ocala, Florida, Mayor Kent Guinn and little characters created by the class.
Thought I’d present it, via ISSUU, for today.

My #HappyArt I drew live Friday: Reading Raccoon

by on Sep.18, 2021, under Cartooning, Illusration

Here’s the illustration i drew and painted live during the #HappyArt program I did Friday.

 
The subject of books came up and, celebrating country music day Friday, I added the title of, Florida native, Mel Tillis’ book (A fine book, by the way).
 
Next live is Saturday at 3pm for Ha-Ba-Da-Bee.
 
Feel free to type below your favorite animal, thing or place and maybe I’ll include it in the drawing I’ll make up as I draw along. 🙂

My digitally colored angel illustration for a weekly panel.

by on Sep.09, 2021, under Cartooning, Illusration

 

Here’s the angel illustration I did a year ago for the panel i do once a week for The Log Whisperer at Old Log Houses by Thomas.
 
I went back and forth coloring these digitally and watercolor.
I believe the watercolor looks best and have have been mostly doing that this year.
Occasionally I’ll color digitally, if that seems to help the illustration work best with the enlightening words of Brother Kevin.
