Yet Another Look
Lately I've been called on to do illos based on my fine art watercolors. So I've tried to meld my love of vintage cartoons with a loose watercolor approach. Great for abstract concepts.

Sketchbook Cartoons
Sketchbooks have been a part of my lifestyle for several decades. I have done enough of them to fill the trunk of an American-made luxury automobile and am workin on filling a small U-Haul. Here are a selection of cartoons, straight up, right out of the book.

Cartoon Journalism/Narratives
Here's a gallery of journalistic pieces and narratives. Sometimes I'm asked to go into the field and report on an event or occasion. Other times, to distill a complex narrative into a humorous and entertaining piece. Usually these assignments require working closely with editors and A.D.'s. Either way, I'm there with bells on.

Promotional Postcards
I've always had a lot of fun with promotional postcards, either poking fun at the editor-art director-illustrator triangle or just poking fun at myself. Here are some highlights of that ongoing campaign.

Watercolors
Proir to the change in the millenium, the medium for my personal work was watercolor. Since then I've shifted to doing acylics (see Painting portfolio).

Switchplates
This is a little side project my Wife and I have. These designs are cut from heavy gauge 1/16 inch steel, finished with a marbled rust patina and protected with a clear coat. They replace standard issue wall switchplates, All designs are finished on both sides,so they can be flipped and are available with a small opening(standard light switch) or large opening(newer rocker switches). Screws included.
