GOING TO THE DOGS AGAIN!!

THIS guy was pitch black but the eyelashes were so long in a diffferent light

GOING TO THE DOGS AGAIN!

MORE favorites from the dogpound...
This boxer is from a pic, where "Fire" looks quite serious but the owner described to me a giant tongue usually hangs out and the eyes have an "A.D.D." look, in fact this is probly the only pic where the tongue isn't out..... I'm glad she was there to tell me that because the downside of working from a pic is the PERSONALITY sometimes doesn't translate. This was one of my faves of all time.

COOL 4 CA-AA-AA-ATS

Here's some cats from pictures-it's smart to bring good pix-so much easier working from 8x10 prints than cell phone pix (which I don't do anymore) and these ladies were so nice and LOVED the cat-toons!

LARGER THAN LIFE HARRING-TOONS!

I've been pretty busy on some freelance illustration work for an Events/Promotion Co.
I'm very fortunate in that I get to draw most of the days and in this particular assignment I got to do @ 90% of what I wanted-using my own cartoon characters in a tropical poolside setting to be displayed in Starwoods Hotel in NY.
The finished artwork was then printed 8 FEET HIGH and ran the length or the room! DEFINITELY THE LARGEST I've ever seen my work PRINTED! The funnything is they asked for very "different" characters, so I threw a George Carlin-ish burned out stoner dude in their along with a goth girl, and they nixed the GIRL, not the stoner!
Hope I get more like this....
These are FUN!

COMIC STRIP-WINDY GAP

Based on actual events.....

COMIC STRIP-WINDY GAP

I came across this strip I was working on called Windy Gap.
Based mostly on my father, family, friends & various seesaw, revolving door band members.
I put a lot of time and work into getting somewhere with this.
Brings up some kinda bittersweet feelings.
Long story short-promises. promises. Seems anyone at the mag that liked it who could do me any good was no longer with the company when I called again, or that the mag was no longer going.... Oh well, I still love these characters and I think I might just take another stab at it, yet.

Obama & Hillary Caricature

I guess I'm a little late on getting to these 2 but I liked the way this came out.
It was completely unplanned to have Barrack look like he's breathing fire but I dig it.
In all honesty sometimes I like stuff that falls out of my pen without planning bettter than the ones I agonize over getting "just right"...think I might work on this more later.
