Here is a pair of commemorative pieces I did as a “diptych.” They’re meant to be displayed side by side, giving a panorama of this couples life together!

Jumping the Puddle
“Jumping the Puddle” – a WWII era expression for flying over the Atlantic ocean. Here’s a commission I just finished for a family who will be doing just that – moving to Spain
Thunder Lizard inks
I did a drawing, “Thunder Lizard,” for an adventure panel comic. I liked the layout but, as happens sometimes, as I was finishing it I realized the physics of the tail swing were off.
So I did a redesign. Now the physics are correct and the blacks present a much more balanced drawing while giving this long-neck more weight. I also added more texture between the lights and shadows. All in all, a better composition.
Coloring book update
Here is the last drawing for the “Baby Animals” coloring book. You may note that this one has more shadow than all the others (which have none). This is because this drawing will be the “scramble” page, and the shadows make it easier for young drawers to discern the scrambled shapes.
Now, on to post production!
Dragon Pincher!
Just finished this comic book cover caricature commission. I lay out the drawing process on my Substack page: https://saturdayfunnies.substack.com/
“Where Mothers Dwell”
Tar Illium (sans text)
So far, I have 5 separate strips (different titles/multiple strips), and a gag panel. And I’m working on one other. Lots of drawing to do!!
3 of these of these strips are Biblically based, as I feel it is important for kids (all readers, actually) to know the truth of scripture
Medalist
As part of pose work ups for upcoming Manga classes, I did this one of one of the protagonists from “Medalist.” Good example of fore-shortening.
Batgirl!
Batgirl character piece for in class demonstrations. Part of my “Comics! Comics! Comics!” series which includes comic book art, comic strip creation (to include gag panels), and Manga comics/graphic novels.
A day of Drawing
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!
