You know, normally I don’t like to be so direct when I do a piece that is a social commentary. Not saying I don’t do it, but it is rare. But I have noticed, particularly over the last 10 years or so, that cartoonists seem to be overwhelmingly on the left. And not always in an objective way. I’m sorry – but the news that’s coming out paints a pretty grim picture – but it’s a picture we all need to see, despite the cries of “Fascism.”
These are the drawings I’m working on today: A political cartoon, 2 pages for the coloring book I’m working on, and 2 superhero drawings for an upcoming class.
Busy day. Love it!

I am putting together a newspaper comics section. Here is the very first illustration of 2025 – the Header. I am planning on this being filled with several of my comics, as well as some games/puzzles, and a readers section. I’m also planning to offer this both on-line, and in print. Haven’t decided if, for the print edition, I will go broadsheet (large), or Tabloid. I’m leaning towards tabloid for a number of reasons.
The print version will be quarterly. On-line version probably through “Sub-stack.” Both by subscription.
First two images from the coloring book I’m working on – Baby Animals!
Had the pleasure of drawing live caricatures at a “Great Gatsby” themed wedding for New Years. While I didn’t have time to take pics of the live caricatures (I never do. Always too much of a line), I did snap this pic of the wedding guest sign in piece – with signatures underway!
“and, disguised as a mild-mannered farm girl, she plows the farm seeking out the seeds of evil!”
Yet another successful wedding sign-in piece!
