Illustration: CIG Cooking with Kids, Chapter 9

Illustration: "The Complete Idiot's Guide To Cooking With Kids," Chapter 9
This is one of the illustrations I did for “The Complete Idiot’s Guide To Cooking With Kids.” I drew this in 2000. I remember looking forward to using the book at home since my daughter was four-years old at the time. My kids were quite the inspiration for the chapter art.
Looks like the book is still available at Amazon.com.

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator.

Illustration Friday: Blur

Cartoon of boy and mom. Son says, “I don’t know what the principal told you. For me, the food fight was a blur.”
I have to admit, I wasn’t usually the boy starting a food fight in the cafeteria. I was the kid observing the whole melee, hiding and admiring the troublemaker for his chutzpah. It’s much safer that way, and the teachers like you better.
I drew this for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “blur.”
I drew this comic in Adobe Illustrator CS2

Wrapped Up in Apologies


Student Apologies, originally uploaded by speartoons.

Cartoon: Student says to teacher, “For anything I may do this school year, I’d like to offer a blanket apology.”

Also works for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “wrapped.” This guy is wrapped up in getting his apologies out of the way first. There’s a few sports figures and politicians that could learn from that. Just apologize in advance when you’re elected or get that multi-million dollar contract.

Please ask before using this cartoon. I can provide a watermarked free image upon request.

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator CS3

Cartoon: parenting butterflies

Cartoon of caterpillar child to parent butterfly. Caterpillar says, “Nag, nag, nag! I can’t wait until I get a chrysalis of my own.”

Insects must have it easy. Even though their parenting skills are nonexistent, they don’t have to deal with a generation gap.
Then again, they don’t know the joys of parenting either. I guess it’s about how much you invest. Go ahead and give your time. Sooner or later, that caterpillar will emerge as a stunning butterfly.
