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.

Illustration Friday: Hollow

I needed to illustrate a can drive for work, so what better way to combine business with another business?

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator CS3. I had fun on this one using the pen tool instead of the pencil or brush tool. I am finding it gives a smoother line and the paths can be edited in much the same way as you can edit a brush stroke. Sorry I’m getting all technical. I just feel geeky today.
This will be part of a clip art series. If you are interested in purchasing this image, contact Warner Press at wporders@warnerpress.org.

Illustration Friday: Worn


Illustration Friday: Worn, originally uploaded by speartoons.

Here is my take for Illustration Friday’s “worn.” This giraffe is the perfect model for a neck tie. Personally, I’m glad I haven’t worn a tie to work in years.
