Profile in Marin Independent Journal

9/5/2015

0 Comments

 
I was recently interviewed for an article for the Marin IJ. As you can see, my cat Hannah did a pretty awesome photobomb. At one point during the photo session, she was rubbing up against my drawing pad (not at all unusual). In the end, they went with the cat action shot. 

You can read the article here. Thanks to Vicki Larson (Lifestyles Editor), Adam Kreitzman (reporter), and Frankie Frost (photographer).

Tribute to Melina Thornhill

7/7/2015

6 Comments

 
On July 4, one of my high school classmates, Melina Thornhill, passed away. She drowned in a lake in Tennessee. She was 44 years old.

Although Melina and I weren’t close friends, we grew up together and she was always friendly to me. When I saw her at our class reunions, I enjoyed catching up with her. She exuded warmth, enthusiasm, and kindness. Melina also had a great sense of humor. She followed my page on Facebook and would often share or comment on the cartoons she liked. I appreciated her support.

After I heard the news of Melina’s passing, I decided to draw a cartoon as a tribute to her. Here it is. Melina is behind the cat—and if you look closely, you can see her name on Saint Peter’s list.

I’d like to think that Melina, as a cat person, would’ve liked this cartoon. I hope so.

My heart goes out to the Thornhill family. Rest in peace, Melina. You were a great person and will be missed by many.

Jackson Galaxy as a cat ("My Human from Hell")

I drew this cartoon recently, which is a spoof on the show “My Cat from Hell.” After I posted it online, my wife saw it and said, “I like it but it would be funnier if the cat looked more like Jackson Galaxy. He needs tattoos and earrings.”

Whenever my wife makes a suggestion about improving the art in a cartoon, she is right and this time was no exception.

“Yeah, that would make it better,” I said. "I think I'll change it."

Later that day, I saw several comments saying what my wife said: “This cat needs some tats,” “It would be better if the cat looked like Jackson,” “Where are the tattoos on cat Jackson?!” But overall, people liked the cartoon and thought it was funny, which is all that really matters to me. Still, I wanted to add some tats and jewelry on the cat. So I did.

Yesterday, I was happy to see that Jackson Galaxy shared the cartoon on his Facebook page. I think he would’ve liked this new-and-improved version below better. I just wish I had done it this way the first time.

The Sun Maid Raisin Girl

8/24/2013

The other day, I drew this cartoon: 
Picture
I got a few emails from people asking who the woman on the right is supposed to be. One person asked, "Is that Little Red Riding Hood?" In case you're wondering, she's the Sun Maid Raisin girl. 
Picture
When I was drawing the cartoon, I Googled "Sun Maid Raisin girl" to get an image to use as a reference. Then I discovered that Sun Maid updated their mascot to make her more "current." Check her out:
Picture
She's so cool and hip! Just a fun girl hanging out on the beach wearing a bonnet, long skirt, and an apron. It doesn't get any more "21st century" than that. 

I used the "classic" Sun Maid mascot as a reference and then showed the pencil sketch to my wife. 

"What do you think," I asked, "does she look like the Sun Maid Raisin girl?"

"No," she said.

Once I added color, it helped. But maybe I should've had her holding a basket of grapes.
