Primaries and debates are presently being foisted upon the American public, so I thought it was time to pick on the current front runners for both parties.  They already seem like cartoon characters to me, which makes it pretty easy to poke fun!!! :)

Star Wars has been soaring through outer reaches of the movie universe lately.  I was pondering about George Lucas' decision to sell his company to Disney, which then turned the directors helm over to JJ Abrams for Episode VII.  I thought it would be fun to imagine George, despite making billions, having second thoughts about passing on the proverbial light saber.

I have never posted a photograph on this blog, but in lieu of drawing, I couldn't resist a picture with my "girl" for this years Christmas card.  She is a 2004 Honda Goldwing, a very appropriate holiday red, and provides endless joy and passion!!  We've been together a tad over a year and a half. ;)

                         

Kristi lives in Nevada, and along with her love to dance/shake her boot-ae, she fits right in wearing her cowgirl hats and boots, so this years card features the "Carson City Christmas Lizard" shaking her tail to some lively holiday tunes.

Lauren has enjoyed attending massage school at the Healing on Hands Institute, so I thought of an iceberg in the vague shape of hands as a comfortable place for a polar bear cub to get 40 winks, anticipating Santa dropping off a little something on his journey south.

Commission for an awards presentation…a pretty lady named Bonnie.

My sister Karen teaches piano lessons and wanted to give her students an incentive toward reaching certain goals.  She decided on t-shirts, and this is the design I came up with for her.  The challenge was coming up with something that both boys and girls would be ok wearing, though it seems most anything goes these days.  

Amidst a lazy streak, motorcycle trips, caricature gigs, various activities, etc., it's been quite a while since my last post, so I guess it's good holidays come around on occasion...at least something gets drawn.  I usually do a Halloween theme for my sister Shauna, since her birthday comes a week before, but this time I decided on an autumn-y one using characters from a cartoonist I enjoy: Wiley and his strip Non Sequitur, using headstrong Danae and her horse, Lucy, to express best wishes.
