Penciled and prepped this caricature yesterday afternoon before wheeling out to the event I posted about last night. As was the case yesterday, i met with Kristina, below, who requested this illustration. Yesterday we met in Winter Garden, Florida, and today met in Leesburg  to watercolor the artwork at the Leesburg Library coffee shop.

I watercolored the artwork with the exception of the orange color seen. Used a Prang marker brush to really pop the color out representing the colors of the Tennessee college that has a football team, the Volunteers.Not surprisingly I know more about the name of the volunteers and it’s place in Civil War history than the name of the college that has a football team with the name. 🙂

When I woke this morning I had no idea the day would take so many sudden turns in so many directions! First I answered the call for a last minute caricature by changing plans and meeting the client and doing the artwork. While I was working on the caricature with the client, I got a call about a last minute caricature gig about an hours drive from where I was. Decided to meet that challenge and head in the opposite direction of home and drew at that event for a few hours. Now I’m staying overnight nearby and plan to see home tomorrow afternoon….. Depending on last minute requests! 🙂

This is part of sketches for a project I’m working on that is being bounced around by the clients and I. We’ll come to a final rough drawing along the way for me to build on for the final illustration. I’ll likely post pieces of that project as it comes along in the next week. I’ll be penciling and inking on paper and coloring using Photoshop.

This is a small drawing for a much larger project. It’s a fill-in piece. Tomorrow, I’ll be embarking on larger illustrations. Saw this blown up much larger on Facebook and realize, I need to use a brush even when doing tiny drawings like this. I disliked it so much that i pulled it and whipped up this Santa Frog to go in the shopper lady’s place for the Daily Inks.

This watercolor cartoon of frog and turkey is for someone else on Thanksgiving. Realizing I was giving a painting to one person on Thanksgiving involving frogs, had me realize I needed to do one for another, too.

The last of the sneak previews of my Christmas card for this year. This is another of the many critters that are in the illustration. Taking the card to get printed tomorrow.

Here’s another peak at my annual Christmas card as i continue to work on it. Native Florida critters always dominate the illustration along with a Florida historic site. Here’s the Bald Eagle that can be found statewide. I should have the card finished tomorrow. Hope to start distributing cards Thursday and this weekend in southwest Florida.

This is just a part of a larger Christmas card proposal for a company. There were three i drew. if it gets rejected, I’ll post the entire card here.

These are a few inked drawings that are last minute replacements for a set of buildings for a map I’m working on. I just couldn’t get the buildings to work and these figures probably better showcase the wares of the businesses involved.

When worlds collide! – I usually never post any of my editorial cartoons here , or anything political for that matter, on this personal page. But since this is a bit innocuous, I figure I can post this one.

Here’s he cartoon all inked with both Rob Ford and Alec Baldwin in it. I’ll post the final color cartoon tomorrow.
