February 27th, 2014 – Sketch Daily – Jem lives on!

by on Feb.27, 2014, under Cartooning

2014-0227-SketchDaily-Jem

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:

February 20th, 2014 – Pirate Gators Sketch!

by on Feb.20, 2014, under Cartooning

2014-0219-FortWaltonBeach-GAtor

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.

February 13th, 2014 – What I was drawing: A Valentine Gill-Man with a Hot Dog!

by on Feb.13, 2014, under Cartooning, Swampy's Florida

2014-0213-CardSign-1

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.

February 12th, 2014 – What I’m Drawing: Shirley Temple!

by on Feb.12, 2014, under Caricatures, Cartooning, Celebrity Illustrations, Editorials

2014-0212-ShirleyTemple

Here’s my latest editorial cartoon drawn today reflecting from a true media legend, Shirley Temple. Temple died this past Sunday at the age of 85. We will NEVER see someone like Tmple again. Society won’t allow it, as many other things are censored and not allowed. The cartoon above is speaking to our narrow view of the world today.

February 11th, 2014 – What I’m Drawing: Hiking in Florida!

by on Feb.11, 2014, under Cartooning, Illusration

2014-0211-FloridaTrailThis is part of the Florida Trail Association cartoon I illustrate for each issue of their Footprint magazine. The Florida Trail Association is the organization for hiking throughout Florida. I need to occasionally post some of the cartoons I made for past issues. I won’t be posting the current cartoon, though, as that’s one of the benefits of membership when getting the Underfoot magazine. 🙂

2014-0209-WorkToDo

Tons of artwork has to get done today! From caricatures to hiking cartoons to illustration, etc! Was hoping to be at a presentation today by Rick Smith, son of author Patrick Smith who wrote the Florida legendary book, ‘A Land Remembered’, but that looks impossible two hours before his presentation. Pen to paper and I’ll post what I can.

This was penciled on paper, inked the same, scanned and colored.

February 5th, 2014 – What I’m drawing: My Springs Symposium Watercolor Painting #1

by on Feb.05, 2014, under Caricatures, Illusration

2014-0205-SpringsAll-KnightBob

On January 28th I was part of a symposium about the condition of our springs in north Central Florida. My part was to illustrate each of the speakers. This is one of the set of Dr. Bob Knight, one of our most knowledgeable experts about water in Florida. Knowing Bob helped me play more here than i did with the others.
Bob opened his talk by announcing he had more bad news. I took it from there.

I’ll be posting the rest over the next week or so.
