Sketchbook Pro sketch

I thought I’d try and see what would happen if I took a sketch directly from the Sketchbook Express app and published to WordPress on my iPad. This test won’t win any awards, but I’m rather happy with the results. This could be the start of something fun.

Discovering Pinterest

I’ve been too busy to get one of my cartoons onto the blog. So I decided I should at least type something. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but I may not have that much in my inventory this morning.

Recently, a friend has invited me to join Pinterest. Now, I know what you’re thinking. No, that’s not where all my time is going! However, it’s fascinating how a social media site that’s based on images is taking off so quickly.

Honestly, I’m squeamish about putting my own images on there because of the rights you give away under the terms of agreement. I will reserve my verdict for that part of the site. In the meantime. I’m checking it out to see how others are using it.

Do you use Pinterest? If you’re an artist or illustrator, how are you using it?

Voila! It’s a Duck

Cartoon of a boy in a magician's costume and a duck. The boy says, "I'm sorry, Sis! I didn't mean to change you into a duck. I meant to turn you into a dog!"

Siblings really do love each other. It’s just that there are so many possibilities when you have a magic wand and hat. It makes me wonder what I would do today if anything was possible. I want to make it clear to my siblings that I’d keep them just the way they are. They’ve turned into very nice adults, thank you. Besides, I don’t have a duck pond.

Worry about no Worry

Cartoon rough of two women. One says, "I'm not scared of anything anymore, and frankly, that worries me!"

Cartoon of two women. One says, “I’m not scared of anything anymore, and frankly, that worries me!”

I drew this rough cartoon in my sketchbook during a tumultuous time in my life. I was laid off from a dream job, my wife was working at a place with financial difficulties in a town that faced severe financial hardships. We had two, young children. Though I was working, it was a temporary job. Oh, and September 11, 2001 was still fresh in our minds. There was plenty to worry about.

But all of the things we worried about never came to pass. It’s ten years later and there are a new set of worries in our life. What good does worry do for us? Live today and let tomorrow take care of itself, unless you want to worry about not worrying.
