This was for folk’s parent, who lived somewhere in Europe.

Whole lot of artwork I did in 2015….

by on Aug.14, 2023, under Cartooning


There were times not that long ago that I would sit in a coffee shop, or some such, and chug-a-lug artwork. Somehow, I’ve gotten away from that.

8 years ago this week, the above artwork was penciled and inked in one sitting. Most is for my Swampy’s Florida page.

‘Silver Springs at Play’ painted back in 2015…..

by on Aug.13, 2023, under What's New?

A watercolor painting I did back in 2015 for one who purchased it.

This was back when I used watercolor paper for projects than the board I use now.
I believe the size is 11″ x 14″.

My Snoopy’s birthday card from Florida….

by on Aug.10, 2023, under Cartooning

In 2015 cartoonists drew cartoons to celebrate the  in celebration of Snoopy’s birthday. I thought I’d participate and add a Florida twist.

Comic Pages I was working on a year ago….

by on Aug.08, 2023, under Cartooning


2 years ago I inked these pages for the Swampy’s Florida book, ‘Ross Allen’.
This was printed as a 20 page book 6 months later.
