These boys are enjoying a couple of marshmallows around a campfire. Will there be scary stories? Will a coyote or owl disrupt their outing? Who knows what will unfold next?
This was part of a clip art assignment for Warner Press. I drew this back in 2009 to test an online clip-art service.
Over the years, I drew and submitted several assignments for an Illustration Friday competition. Too bad the competition appears to be a thing of the past. You just never know what will unfold next.
Welcome to Camp Watchdalake. Where it isn’t camp until somebody falls into the lake! It gives us a chance to enjoy this camp safety cartoon.
For children, camp may be the first time when they have the opportunity to test their independence and see what happens when they test the limits of good sense. So safety can be an issue for some kids.
Cartoon of three people in choir robes. They are in front of a volleyball net. The caption reads, “No matter the event, Choir Camp had a rigid dress code.”
This is my sketch for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “;wilderness” Whenever I think of wilderness, I envision the old Hanna Barbera, Yogi Bear cartoons. As a kid, I thought everyone was mean because they wouldn’t feed the bears. This is how I would have liked those cartoons to turn out.
My idealism changed when we went on a vacation to the Smoky Mountains and I saw a bear charge a tourist. That settles it. It’s not a good idea to feed the bears.
I drew this in Adobe Photoshop
Cartoon of Dad, son and raccoon. Dad is angry. Son says to Dad, “But he followed my home.”
When I went to camp, there were a few critters I would have liked to take home. None of them were within the cabin. Those type of critters tried to come home with me on their own.
Instead of taking a raccoon home as a souvenir, I opted for the t-shirt instead. They were easier to wash.
I drew this in Adobe Illustrator CS2
