I'm stopping by after a nice Thanksgiving, though it was a little less crowded than usual. I hope yours was enjoyable also. It has been a long day drawing and writing, my stomach is growling, and we have many turkey day leftovers tempting me to raid the refrigerator, so forgive me if I make this brief.
I'm in the midst of some fun projects in the studio and thought I would share a few pieces...
---------------------
This is one of 15 illustrations created for a book it will be published in December. The layout here is loosely based upon a jail cell scene from the Disney World/Land ride, "Pirates of the Caribbean". The characters are all part of the book.
A
few years ago I was invited to join Cartoon Stock (a London-based firm
which is the largest source for cartoons for purchase.) I periodically
send them some of my published cartoons, and this one was among the
latest group.
One of 32 cartoons and illustrations currently being created for a business book by an author in Boston who has had four books published previously. This project has been in the studio since September, and I'm working with the author as he completes each chapter. (Perfect for filling in between other projects). It is allowing me to have some fun with humor writing, along with the creation of a narrator character that will featured throughout the book.

A personal commission for the Vice President & Head of Marketing of
Public Storage Inc. He is also an avid skier, and a fan of one of my
favorite Colorado ski towns. This was commissioned to be presented to
him as a gift. I created it at 18" X 24" and after the art was approved,
it was printed in Giclee on canvas in high resolution, and finally,
matted and framed.

A cover for a book going to press in February, created for an author who is a humorist and former University of Kansas professor. The cover reveals some details of the
satirical political story within, and its connection to current events. This is the fourth book cover I have done for him.
