Did the caricature thing Saturday. Here are some photos from the fun event!

Was doin’ the caricature thing tonight in Orlando at the Orange County Regional History Center.

A few caricatures drawn Saturday night.

Here’s Marnie and Pedro! I usually draw folks while they’re talking and I miss a big smile like his shown above. But then I would’ve missed his love of superheroes (Especially Green Lantern and NOT Rob Liefeld!).

Here are caricatures of Joseph and Meghan from Sunday!

More caricatures drawn at an event today.

Later I met with Robert Baurle and Ken Culotta at a Denny’s to talk politics and write gags.

Here’s a color caricature I did of these two lovely ladies today. Met them at Beefy King in Orlando and drew and painted the whole thing there.

Here are a couple caricatures from a party I drew at today.

Here’s a color caricature I quickly did Sunday of Isabella.

Some drawings from this past weekend….

I ran across ‘The Monkees Go Mod’ while perusing a bookstore and I thought I’d share a couple pages of cartoon artwork from the 1967 book. Both are drawn by Dick Hodgins, Jr. If the style has a Dennis the Menace type look, that’s because Hodgins was an assistant to Hank Ketcham drawing Ketcham’s strip ‘Half Hitch’ and helping with the Dennis strip.

Hodgins’ dad was also a cartoonist. For years he was staff cartoonist for The Orlando Sentinel in Orlando, Florida. While at the Sentinel he drew a history of Orlando comic strip and a ton of other art. Later Hodgins, Sr. joined his friend Jim Ivey at Jim’s ‘The Cartoon Museum’ to teach cartooning classes. I was one of the lucky ones to take one of those classes. I’ll have to post some Hodgins, Sr. art sometime.
