This is a collection of artwork I have done for no greater purpose than to bring a smile to you, my viewer! Most of the pieces diplayed here are cartoons or charactures while others simply have a whimsical feel to them. Enjoy!
A silly little cartoon I drew on my iPad as I was drifting off to sleep one night.
This digital drawing of a bearded crescent moon with a night cap on was inspired by the song “Mr. Sandman.” This piece has established itself as one of the longtime favorite pieces of my artwork among children and adults who have viewed my artwork.
When I was a kid living in a small town in the Panhandle of Texas, there was a longtime legend that a dead woman could sometimes be seen on dark, spooky nights wandering the edge of town. This drawing was inspired by that memory. I drew this on my iPad, from start to finish.
Digital drawing I created inspired by our cat resting peacefully on a chair.
A zany little cartoon I designed to be used either as a wintertime cartoon or as the front of a wintertime / Holiday card.
This digital cartoon drawing of some cows idly standing in a pasture was created on my iPad while I was sitting one day in a coffee shop. I wanted to create a humorous piece that was quintessentially Wisconsin.
A playfully executed folk-style digital drawing of an owl with an accompanying inspirational saying:
A wise old owl sat on an oak;
The more he saw the less he spoke;
The less he spoke the more he heard;
Why aren't we like that wise old bird? —Charles M Schulz
Digital drawing done as a commission I received for designing advertisement for an ad campaign from a non-profit organization that sold fair trade coffee for the purpose of fundraising.
The title of the piece “I Am Awake” is a humorous play of the name of the Buddha which literally means “One Who Is Awake”. Note that the sitting Buddha is holding a cup of coffee.
A digital cartoon I drew on my iPad around 2015 as I was thinking about climate change and our lack of firm commitment on the part of our leaders to seriously address the problem. The cartoon is surely more relevant today than ever.
