Theodore Bump
One of the very first storybook jobs I ever got was a two book series about a little boy called Theodore Bump. Several decades later the author contacted me and asked if I would be interested in doing a third Theodore Bump book… absolutely!… Continue Reading “Theodore Bump”
Halloween Forecast
The weather forecast here for Halloween… rain and possible snow… which means no trick-or-treaters at my house… which also means I get to eat the Halloween candy all by myself… scoreboard!
Ghouls Night Out
I usually go to the store this time of year and stock up on candy for the Trick-Or-Treaters, then turn off all the lights at my house on Halloween night, pretend I’m not home and then eat the leftover Halloween candy on Sunday afternoon… Continue Reading “Ghouls Night Out”

Little Red-Haired Girl
I was doing character development this afternoon and one of the things I drew was this little red-haired girl. It reminded me of the old Peanuts comic strip and Charlie Brown who, if memory serves me, was quite enamored with little red-haired girls.
Scuba Certification
I had an assignment to draw a kid underwater in scuba gear… I drew him with his mouth wide open… I apparently do not quite grasp the entire scuba diving underwater concept.
Bacon Hair
Several years ago a client told me they really liked the bacon hair I put on all my people…
