Well, It’s been a month and now that I have a blog, I guess I’ll have to blog! So let’s see……. I always get slow right after the Christmas season and it gives me time to catch up with some of my own personal art projects. However about mid March I start to get busy again and I guess now I’ll actually have to get to work soon. I have a few cool jobs in the studio right now. One is a character development ‘cartoon style’ job I’m doing for the local Sarasota design firm Odato. I just finished up a similar job for Baskerville Advertising helping them with a mascot for their business. Yep, it’s a hound, how’d ya know? In the mean time back and forth across the state for caricature jobs. Naples and Punta Gorda for the Edison State College, Ft. Myers for Delite Entertainment and just back from Safety Harbor where I did caricatures for a fundraiser benefiting the Cardiac Kids Foundation of Florida. In the mean time my teaching schedule has picked up at Ringling College of Art. I taught a caricaturing class I titled “the Art of Funny” and “Comic Strip Development” both as one day workshops. They were both wildly successful except for the one lady who was offended by the “Bad Half Betty” comic pages I displayed as samples of my work. I can’t figure out if she was upset that Betty gets cut in half or that she gets up and kicks the ‘heck’ outa the guys who ‘done it’?
