I intend to post parts of projects I’m working on here and then forget. Here’s part of an illustration I’m working on.

After the National Cartoonists Society annual meeting I found myself hanging around Philadelphia courtesy of Debbie Schafer. I pulled out the sketch book and doodled these last June 1st around Downtown Philadelphia.

Headed over to Silver River State Park about 5 miles. Above is a sketch from across the Silver River at the boat landing at the end of the River Trail.

After that I took the Fort King Military Trail. Below is a sketch from that I added color to.

At the boat launch all these little children were squealing about seeing a turtle. The softshell poked more of his head out and part of his body. He was a huge sucker. I pointed out to the little folks that the turtle was about the size of a little red head there and he was probably hiding under the launch to keep away from hungry gators. Their eyes got all big and scampered back so they might spot the shy critter again. Below is as much of the turtle I could get in a photo.

There’s more about this hike at Swampy’s Florida.

Here’s a Florida illustration in progress. More to come as it comes along.

Here are a few caricatures I drew last Wednesday.

Parts of a larger illustration for a brochure project I’m penciled and inked today. Eventually it will be colored. It was drawn with ink on paper.

I attended a 3-D showing of ‘The Creature from the Black Lagoon’ on March 16th, 2010. I had a great time visiting with friends I was surprised to run into there, Paula Large, Jerry Darkey, Priscilla Rose, Dan Stapleton, etc. I got to finally meet Holly and Dolly of ‘Holly and Dolly’s Bar and Grill in Casselberry. The twins were also former dancers at Church Street Station and mermaids at Weeki Wachee. To the left is a sketch of someone at the theater.

The best part of the film viewing is that Ginger Stanley attended. Ms. Stanley was the stand-in for Julia Adams in ‘The Creature from the Black Lagoon’. She spoke before and after the film about her experiences in the film and answered questions. After the viewing she was outside the theater greeting fans and signing autographs, which she did for hours. Below is the autograph and below that is a photo of Ms. Stanley and myself.

I joined the resurrector of the Orlando Christmas star, Jack Kazanzas at the intersection of Orange Avenue and Central Boulevard in Downtown Orlando for the rising of the star. Above is a sketch I made there. Beside that is Jack welcoming all to the event.

There were goodies for all!

Orlando Utility employees got goodies, too!

Part of an Illustration I’m working on for Florida attraction, Gatorama. Learn more about clicking here.

I attended the Orlando Remembered meeting. We’ve got display projects cooking! To the right are some sketches I made of Robert Serros, Grace Chewning and Richard Bazzo.

Sandra and I had a meal at the Charley Horse Restaurant in Ocala. Above is a sketch of a fellow chowing down there.
