I just created a cake topper with my wife Lucille and for our niece's wedding. It was put together using white Clay-Do measuring 4" tall. The groom wears a "Barong Tagalog" which a popular Filipino dress blouse worn to special occasions. Lucille and I make a good team.

Soccer Cow for Philip

Here's something I drew in my sketchbook for my nephew Philip. He loves soccer and cows too. What a combination! I had to throw those udders into it.

Fourth of July! Happy Birthday America!

Happy Fourth Everyone. Be safe!

Trumpet Player

We went to a outdoor concert tonight and I had time to sketch this little guy playing the trumpet. Too bad I didn't have time enough to draw the rest of the band.

Sometimes you gotta have it! Here's a sketch I did at my favorite Burger joint.

Illustration Friday: Instinct

Here's my submission for this week's word: "Instinct". Also included are more gag cartoons for my 30 year high school class reunion.

Enjoy!


Annually, the guys put on a contest wearing womens' apparel (in drag and usually the athletes) to help get funds the Senior Class Prom. It was called the "Mr. Ugly Contest" and was a great way to raise money while creating lasting memories too.


Computers? Who ever knew (or even cared) what they were in the late 70's? Fast forward thirty years later, computers have done wonders with my artwork (especially Photoshop). Now I can't imagine working without 'em.

Illustration Friday: Celebrate

Here's another gag for my 30 year high school class reunion. I see it as a "celebration" complete with a punch bowl and streamers.


Here's another one I just completed. Hopefully no one is offended - it's not a bad looking kid; it's a good looking dog! Hee hee.

Illustration Friday: Time

I'm preparing a couple of comic strips for my thirty year high school class reunion. Good 'ol Terry Parker High School in Jacksonville, Florida! Hail to thee my alma mater! A "timely" illustration for this week's www.illustrationfriday.com word.

Illustration Friday: Flawed

This cook is happily putting her meal together but something just doesn't look all that right in that bowl of hers. This is something I drew for a company newsletter a few years back. Bon appetit y'all!

San Francisco Victorian

Sketch I drew of a typical San Francisco Victorian.

Illustration Friday: Pale

Carlos had all the answers. Laurie just sat there with a "pale" stare on her face.

Who can relate to Laurie? How many times has this happened to you? Believe me, I know exactly how Laurie feels because it happens to me all the time.

Illustration Friday: Contained

What is the opposite of being "contained"? Being free as a butterfly with two big crazy guys chasing you with long cloth nets wanting to "contain" you. Have a good week everyone.

Illustration Friday: Resolve

Happy 2009 everyone! Here's my first "Illustration Friday" submission for the year. I've been experimenting a little by to using traditionally inked brushwork for the lineart and Photoshop for the tones. Here's to another creative year filled with inspiration!
