Happy Spring! (But watch out for opportunistic scallawags in the shadows.)

Lots of things on the drawing board right now, including illustrations for a couple of children's books, a humor book, and several corporate humor writing and illustrating jobs. Just stopping by to share a few things, starting with the above piece for Silicon Valley IT security firm, CGNet.

Due to my usual corporate and book illustration work, I don't create as many political cartoons these days as I once did. So, I was humbled, and honored to receive First Place in the Society of Professional Journalists' TOR awards for Political Cartoons in 2024 (also last year, 2023). This covers 80 media outlets in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and New Mexico.
(A surprise, since I didn't enter - an editor submitted on my behalf, both years).

2024 Society of Professional Journalists TOR Awards Winners
MAY 4, 2024 / COLORADOSPJ
The Society of Professional Journalists has announced the winners of the annual TOR Excellence in Journalism competition.
This year, more than 80 news media outlets from Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and New Mexico entered the contest, which was judged by the Los Angeles Press Club. In all, the contest saw more than 1,900 entries.
“The competition grows each year, and with that, we honor outstanding journalism throughout the four-state region,” said contest coordinator Deb Hurley Brobst. “It’s an honor to recognize the hard work of these journalists."
