Made my bi-annual stop at my friend’s George Pieper’s cartooning class to give a talk to his class about cartooning and caricature. Each time I take answers to a series of questions I give to the students and combine them into a drawing. Above is me and George and the drawing i drew based on the responses.

Soon three new Swampy’s #Florida Easter cards will be available! Above is one of the images I did of the cards. I’ll post a link when available so you can purchase some! – http://swampysflorida.com/?p=9837

Been doing the caricature thing for a corporate event in Jacksonville, Florida, over the last two days.

Here is one of two images available soon as Swampy’s Florida Easter cards! The cards will be available above in the Swampy store at the top of the website being handled by The Knowledge Exchange. The cards would also be available at Julianne’s Coastal Cottage in Mount Dora. I’ll be posting the other Easter card art later this week.

Here’ s a bit of art that will be in the upcoming ‘Swampy’s Florida: Silver Springs’ I’m working on! Putting the book together now and hope for it to be avaialble in about three weeks.

The subject for today’s Sketch Dailies is : Selfie. So, here’s the way it used to be.

Today’s Sketch Dailies involves the pop punk rock cartoon character Jem. I considered where Jem would be today and see her in a bar in Hoboken singing, as she can, the great American songbook….but still in her punk garb. Kinda as the fate of the singer in Copacabana.

Below are a few images of Jem in her prime:

Saw the subject for a daily artistic challenge is the celebrity, Mr. T. A couple months ago i was thinking I wish i had a reason to draw Mr. T. Here it is!

I took the angle of Mr. T’s roll as B.A. Baracus in the television series The A-Team. In the series, B.A. hates anything to do with flying. Thus, he flies!

Signed a couple of Swampy’s Florida books for my friends at the Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce. This alligator pirate sketch is for the book we did for the annual Billy Bowlegs Festival. Last year we worked together to produce two Swampy books about the Chamber’s annual Billy Bowlegs Festival and for the last reunion in Fort Walton Beach of the Doolittle Raiders.

At the symposium of Florida springs last week, Scott Mitchell (above) gave an abbreviated talk of the history of the Silver Springs property. While initially sketching this out at the event, the idea of a telescope to the past came to mind. I was going to go further with a coin machine attached. I was going to keep the background blank and realized I needed to tie Scott to Silver Springs State Park.

While helping sell the new Swampy’s Florida Valentine line of greeting cards, I also did a small drawing on the back. A wife was telling me about her husband and his liking of the Gil-Man, of the ‘Creature from the Black Lagoon’ movie. He also likes hot dogs. So, the imagery above. Below is a photo of me drawing during the event February 2nd.
