hand drawn

I’ve done two of these puppies, about to do my third video of my hand drawing cartoons. I think my hand is going to be famous—maybe as famous as the hands that used to do the Kraft commercials back in the Seventies (If you don’t remember them, or weren’t around then–lucky you). Thanks to the crazy–talented Mark O’Laughlin for making the video so cool.

people do weird things

My wife told me about this guy she saw while sitting at a light. He picked his ear… and then ate it. I had to do a sketch of the decision moment.

the dreaded holiday pics

Our friends Ronda and Dwayne Hovde invited us to go on a short vacation to the Grand Hotel. Our first response was “Where?”. If you’ve not heard of it—the Grand Hotel is in Michigan and is on Macinac island that can only be reached by ferry. Cars aren’t allowed on the island, so the only ways to get around is by foot, bike or horse power. The Grand Hotel has the longest front porch in the world and is a great place to have a cool drink and watch people go by, the loudest noise is the clopping of horses as they pass by. The island is a national park, so there are miles and miles of beautiful trails to wander. On our way there we stopped in at Niagara Falls, a place every Canadian should visit at least once in their life—a bit touristy (Vegas meets Parks Canada) but still worth seeing.

Can you tell why they call these ferries “the rooster tail”

retro hockey

Here’s a collection of hockey tickets for this years limited season. I designed these tickets for that old-fashioned fifties feel. I wanted them to have that bad mass reproduction look of the fifties.
