Thought I would share this cartoon I drew in 2009. Many know I’m kinda-sorta an all out book nut. One book espionage series I love is the Vince Flynn series of espionage thrillers featuring, American hero, Mitch Rapp. This cartoon was for my home base for editorial cartoons that was having the author on to promote his book. Each Halloween since, the publishers of Mitch Rapp are so kind as to resend out this cartoon.

Since this cartoon came out, unfortunately Flynn has died. The series is just restarting this week with another author I’m very familiar with, Kyle Mills (author). Mills is great and I’m really looking forward to the new adventures of Mitch Rapp!

My neighbor has been a HUGE help this past year doing many things including helping to remove a fallen tree in my front yard – a HUGE tree. During his Fall Festival (AKA Halloween) Party I participated by drawing some of his guests.

Jonathan (Above and below) told me much about himself. I decided to make this more a novelty item and have his love of Batman and dragons coalesce.

Anthony (Above) enjoys researching Christian biblical ideas.

Jennie is involved with arts and crafts from painting to making beaded jewelry.

My inked cartoon for Friday’s Swampy’s Florida Happy cartoon! Guess what Friday is celebrating. You can head over to the Swampy site later to see the colored version.

This was inked entirely with Kuretake brush pens.

Part of a political cartoon I’m working on right now!

Inking was mostly a PITT Medium pen. A little Kuretake brush.

An inked choo-choo for a project I’m working on.

Used a bunch of pens. From Prismacolor brush, Kuretake brushes, Pitt Medium pen, Precise 7, etc.

#‎INKtober‬ #24 – Been doing the caricature thing here in Downtown St Cloud for a wedding! Found a fellow who’s also a big old movie buff. Especially the gangster flicks.

This woman is AMAZING! She and her husband raised 10 children – 6 adopted while both having full time jobs AND volunteering for organizations!!! She and her husband moved to our state of Florida and, unfortunately, her husband died. Now in retirement, she finds herself still in the mode of her earlier life filling all of her time volunteering and still raising two of her children. Here’s a mother of the century nominee! — at Downtown St.Cloud.

In northern Georgia and just finished drawing at a wedding reception in a great barn setting. Really feels great up here! Nice and chilly! Her are a few drawings!

 

Here’s the inked art for tomorrow’s Swampy’s Florida cartoon.

Back to painting after a week of broken down car and exciting projects involving Apopka, Florida! Thanks to Orange County School Board member, Christine Eckers Moore! Here’s a small sample of the overall painting. Hoping to have it finished Sunday.

So much going on Saturday, hope to get other artwork done!

Been hanging around this evening working and getting great vittles at Angel’s Soul Food. If you’re near Tavares, you need to stop in for their smothered chicken!
