My caricature of Charles lee of Audubon from 2012…..

by on Aug.24, 2023, under Caricatures


I did this watercolor caricature of Charles Lee, now retired from Audubon Society. He had been a speaker at a series of talks hosted, by a group I’m with, the Florida Springs Institute. This was a ‘Thank You’ made and sent to him.

This was 11″ x 14″ watercolor paper. I believe I inked this with a Markette marker. The Company that made markettes was bought and eliminated by the Sharpie/Sanford Company.

From my sketchbook 10 years ago….

by on Aug.21, 2023, under Sketchbook

Ten years ago today I was part of a group of folks discussing issues and philosophy. It was a Socrates Cafe.
I’d take a sketch pad page and doodle the back and forth of members, including me.
I love being a part of discussion groups.

Whole lot of artwork I did in 2015….

by on Aug.14, 2023, under Cartooning


There were times not that long ago that I would sit in a coffee shop, or some such, and chug-a-lug artwork. Somehow, I’ve gotten away from that.

8 years ago this week, the above artwork was penciled and inked in one sitting. Most is for my Swampy’s Florida page.
