Here’s a piece of the Swampy’s Florida weekly cartoon that will appear tomorrow. The subject is Ma Barker, the famous gangster who met her end in Florida.

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.

Here’s a preview of the Swampy’s Florida cartoon coming Sunday.

This is one of the drawings being proposed for a set of Swampy’s Florida Valentine cards. I’ll post the color version as it comes along.

This is a part of the birthday card I made for my dear friend Lucile Fair’s 106th birthday in two weeks. If you are nearby or crossing my path in the next two weeks, it’d be great if you would sign her card. Please send me a message and let me know if you would like to sign her card.

Caricatures galore for Everest University tonight!

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! 🙂

Performed at a community event today at Jones High School in Orlando and above is one of the drawings I did. Had fun drawing the werewolf. CAn’t even recall the last time I drew a werewolf.

Below are more drawings I did.

Janice collects elephants and loes to cook and furnish food at family reunions. The elephant’s ear was an artistic tactical issue.

This is one of a good 100 caricatures I drew today between two events of 4 hours each in Orlando and Tampa.

Did a series of courtroom illustrations for my friend Sally Baptiste today. I’ll now take the art and further work on the illustrations. Sally now has art of the courtroom scene of her winning her case today.
