Final cartoon of the week

And with 5 mintues to spare. Whew!

New Bush caricature

Worked on this one in Photoshop last night, and decided to post it this morning. Evil genius, or evil moron? - you make the call.

Happy weekend!

Two new local cartoons

Construction and construction permitting really has slowed to a snail's pace around NE Florida.

I'm also in that business, so I know.

As for the "Iron Horse" marathon, there's nothing funnier to me than a talking horse (or a comprehending horse in this case).

Of course.

Another Barack

With this one, I scanned the sketch, and worked the color back into it. I think I have the color of his face down now. Just need to keep plugging away at the structure.

Back to Barack

Here's another one. I did this one straight into Painter IX.5, sketch and all. I'm starting to get more acclimated to working on the computer now. It took me quite a while to switch from hand drawn architectural plans to AutoCad, so it's not surprising that it's taken me so long. Painter seems to afford more detail in the brush strokes than Photoshop. You can set up a palette and save it. Save your brushes too. It's pretty cool. I found my copy over the Holidays from a cut rate online outfit, and no problems so far.

Anyway, I hope it's worth the effort. Happy Weekend! -Ed

Barack practice

I started this sketch page today from multiple pages in my sketchbook. I scanned all the heads of Barack that I had, and I'm combining the best ones on different layers in Photoshop. It's a great exercise for "computer" sketching practice, not to mention brushing up on my Barack Obama caricature. I'll probably add to it over the weekend, as I doodle him while he's making speeches.

I would LOVE to draw this guy for the next 8 years - he's got a very malleable face.

Last cartoon of the week...woo hoo!

I tried to save my best for last.

Have a happy (non-bovine) weekend!

A lasting legacy...

Nuff said.

You're moving it WHERE?!?

So, St. Johns County officials thought that it would be a good idea to move a landmark of civil rights history into a crack-infested park and call it a memorial. Well, needless to say the alumni of Florida Memorial College where more than a little hacked off by all this. Unfortunately the Memorial Arch has already been loaded onto a flat bed truck for delivery (see picture above).

Here's my take on the subject:

And here's the rough:

First local cartoon of the week

Hey gang. Here's my first local submission of the week.

One of the (many) downsides to diverting the St. Johns River for Orlando's thirsty habits is that more salt water will infiltrate upstream into the river. It's already pretty brackish to about Orange Park, but further south, swamps, ecosystems and many fresh water species will be threatened.
