Saw the subject for a daily artistic challenge is the celebrity, Mr. T. A couple months ago i was thinking I wish i had a reason to draw Mr. T. Here it is!

I took the angle of Mr. T’s roll as B.A. Baracus in the television series The A-Team. In the series, B.A. hates anything to do with flying. Thus, he flies!

This is part of the Florida Trail Association cartoon I illustrate for each issue of their Footprint magazine. The Florida Trail Association is the organization for hiking throughout Florida. I need to occasionally post some of the cartoons I made for past issues. I won’t be posting the current cartoon, though, as that’s one of the benefits of membership when getting the Underfoot magazine. 🙂

Tons of artwork has to get done today! From caricatures to hiking cartoons to illustration, etc! Was hoping to be at a presentation today by Rick Smith, son of author Patrick Smith who wrote the Florida legendary book, ‘A Land Remembered’, but that looks impossible two hours before his presentation. Pen to paper and I’ll post what I can.

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 Ryan Smart, of the Florida Conservation Coalition, who spoke of legislation to help cover the issues of our Florida springs.

Because I keep politics out of the web of this website, this is a pantomime performance of these cartooned characters set up for this week’s editorial cartoon. Feel free to caption this yourself below!

This was penciled on paper, inked the same, scanned and colored.

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 page from the upcoming ‘Swampy’s Florida: Melbourne’. Swampy and friends off to construct everything in sight as so many did around Melbourne in the 1950s. The book should be available in two months through The Knowledge Exchange.

I inked this on the 11th and colored on the 12. Thought I’d include the finished cartoon.

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!

I love drawing dragons, dinosaurs and other types of reptiles. Dragons and monsters are especially fun. Don’t get much chance to draw them, except in caricatures. I could force the subject mater into the editorial cartoons, but that’s a lousy way to tell stories. So glad Nancy is a fan of dragons!  

This event went fine until the past week’s grueling schedule caught up with me and really slowed me down.

I had to head straight home after this to get back to other projects I’m working on. It was a long drive and got home around 4am.
