6/11/09 Sketch journal about the rainy morning. The duck wasn’t in my truck, but I saw a similar scene a few weeks ago. The water fowl have enjoyed this wet weather. The whole world is their domain.

I drew this with a Pilot Precise pen in my Strathmore Sketchbook.

I’m working on a daily doodle today. Let’s hope I can make it an actual “daily doodle.”

I was thinking about the old cliche, “Hang in there.” Sometimes we’re holding on for dear life when the ground is much closer than we think.

I drew this with a Faber-Castell, Pitt artist pen in my Strathmore sketchbook.

Illustration Friday: Craving

Cartoon: son to dad, “Well school is out for the summer! I don’t know about you, but I’m craving some adventure!”

I’m guessing there are many kids craving adventure this month. Here’s to hoping they have an exciting, and safe summer.

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator CS3

Illustration Friday: Adapt


When I heard this word, I thought of those poor polar bears who may need to learn how to adopt to subtopic conditions.

Surfing the big waves may have to replace boogie boarding on the ice.

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator CS3.

Illustration Friday: Cracked

This is my take for Illustration Friday’s word, “Cracked.” Goldfish always look so relaxed and trusting considering the sad fate these poor creatures often face. 

When I was little, I threw a toy pistol through our ten gallon aquarium. How was I to know it would break? Mom and Dad must have had patience of steel that day.
