Muppet Fan Art: SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE!

  The Muppets were originally a part of NBC'S SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE  via a series called THE LAND OF GORCH. You can get a more detailed look at the series via YOUTUBE and MUPPET WIKI, but for here, these are my takes on the characters. In order, King Ploobis, Scred, The Mighty Favog,  Vazh, Queen Petula, Vizz, and Scred with Lily Tomlin.

Salem News: Double Solution


 Two situations: A billboard a city can't get rid of and the concern over "access and location" of medicinal marijuana dispensaries. That led to THIS little gem. My cartoon for the 08/30/2013 SALEM NEWS.

Happy 100th Birthday Walt Kelly!


 Today would have been the 100th birthday of one of the greatest cartoonists of all time.. WALT KELLY! The art below was actually drawn several years back for CBG, but to my memory, never used. I only apologize that the art isn't up to Kelly standard, but then again, NO ONE could draw like Kelly. He was the unmatched master of the inkbrush. And considering the political climate of the world today, if he were still alive and drawing, he would have had a field day! (present comic strip sizes nonwithstanding)

You Eediot!

 Another attempt that didn't pan out- back in the early days of REN & STIMPY (the John K. period) Nickelodeon and Spumco ran a full- page ad that appeared in the COMICS BUYER'S GUIDE looking for artists. I sent some art samples including these special pieces To show how I drew the characters.
Well, I tried....

Whose Line Is It Anyway

  Unburied another old favorite. This FRAGGLE ROCK piece is strictly old-school, handcolored with pro markers instead of on the Studio pro system I've been using. I'm considering titling it "Whose Line Is It Anyways?'
