A local cartoon

Most people don't know this, but Baker County is a hot spot for pot growers in the southeast. Which means helicopter fly-overs are quite common. Lately there has been a rash of detections and arrests, and upon seizure the perps always say stuff like: "I knew when I heard you guys buzzin' around up there I was busted."

I thought that this was a cool way to pay homage to one of my favorite cartoonists, and illuminate the situation.

Thanks Sparky!

Where's Moammar?

He's right here! A quick caricature I did for the syndicate this week.

Pedro and The Clown for September

Oops! Forgot to post this one as well. We had a tattoo festival in St. Augustine last week, and I wanted to get P&C involved somehow. Here's what I came up with.

Martha's Vineyard

Man, I was behind in my postings. Here's another one from last week. Enjoy.

Ni hao!

Here's some building I hope we don't see in Washington anytime soon.

A local cartoon for all you parents out there

Ali Ferzat

If you haven't heard of him, he's worth a Google. A Syrian editorial cartoonist who had his hands broken this week by Assad's thugs.

Sunday Sketch Results

I worked up a few 3 minute pen and ink gestures from the same pose, so I think I'll post those. It's tricky getting everything in there in only 3 minutes, but I think these were OK. I like to use ink for my gestures, because you have to be more sure about every line you put down. There are no "do-overs." We also did several 20 minute poses. I worked those up in the Moleskine in pencil and ink.


I'm still working towards the Sept 9th opening of the 2X2X5 show. Looks like I'm gonna get all 5 of my paintings finished on time. They'll still be wet though!

Stay tooned,

Ed

Syndicate toons

Here's last week's syndicate cartoons (a bit late). I'm still working on my Rick Perry caricature. I find it easier if I just imagine Ronald Reagan with a Texas swagger. Here's hoping we will not have to endure Bush II. Have a GREAT weekend everyone!

Vision of Japan Reborn

A particularly moving and interesting interview with famed Japanese architect Tadao Ando. If we want to get a head start on rebuilding our own country after this economic collapse, we'd be wise to listen to him (hint: we start by rebuilding humanity).

My interview from Sunday is up

I discuss a few of my recent cartoons with Shannon Ogden of First Coast News/NBC 12.

Sunday Sketch - August 14

I decided to do another montage of the three poses from yesterday's session. I've got another busy week ahead, so I'll post more as I come up for air. Cheers,
Ed

Corse Gallery Show set to open!

5 artists, 5 paintings per artist, each painting is 24" x 24".

Local Cartoon: "I've got a great idea..."

"...let's pour these sidewalks leading to the school the week AFTER school starts." Genius!

August's Pedro & The Clown

I'm just now realizing that there were a few things that didn't get posted here at the beginning of the month. You'll have to forgive me as I have been preparing for a group show that is set to open Sept. 9 at The Corse Gallery & Atelier. More on that in a subsequent post.

In the meantime, here's my P&C for August. Gerrymandering was been in the news here lately as Florida redefines it's political boundaries. In this cartoon Pedro and his buddy get schooled on the subject. Enjoy.

This week's syndicate cartoons

One more cartoon to do today and then I can FINALLY start painting.
