Creative musings about creative stuff by a creative cartoonist.
  • The Golfer

    One of my favorite things to do is to go play golf. But just so that I don’t get tired of it, I only do it once, maybe twice a year. I played a few weeks ago with fellow animation buddy Drew Graybeal, and it was just a great five hours of my Saturday. Yeah,…

  • The Orange Fuzz

    I’m really starting to enjoy doodling on Canson paper. If you regularly follow my blog, you have occasionally seen drawings on this kind of paper during the Monster Month posts. I recently went out and bought a bunch more Canson paper with various shades of gray, brown and color. It’s fun because you can start…

  • Valentine’s Day 2012

    Happy Valentine’s Day! With everyone’s thoughts on love today (except for those forgetful fellas who will have a rude awakening when they get home tonight), I thought I’d post a little sketch celebrating the occasion!

Since then, I did a little traveling for the holidays, and upon my return to Los Angeles, reacclimated myself to the daily responsibilities of drawing at my job. I assume that many of you also travelled for the holidays.…

  • Merry Christmas 2011

    As you are able to settle down and lay aside the worries and angst of your daily lives, take a moment to pause and reflect on the truly wondrous thought that during this season we are celebrating a holy God’s willingness to have once walked among us for a brief 33 years, then voluntarily suffer…

  • The Great Bil Keane

    On November 8, 2011, a great cartoonist and a greater man quietly slipped away. Every day over the past 51 years, Bil Keane’s comic strip The Family Circus made us laugh, smile, and feel good inside whether we read it in a newspaper or from the side of a refrigerator where many were displayed. His…
