My popular painting, Carrot Ride, will be participating in the art show, "Artomatic Takes Flight," which will run from March 3rd to June 25th, 2011 at Reagan National Airport (in the hallway of Terminal A). Everyone's invited to the opening reception to meet the artists, eat free food, and possibly get a TSA pat-down from 6-8pm, March 10th. Hopefully, the exhibit will brighten some weary traveler's day. There's an online article on Examiner.com with details and a slide show of other participant's artwork right here.
I framed the painting for the future charity auction. The frame reminded me of something Richard Thompson might draw. Read about Team Cul de Sac here to donate to this worthy cause!
Cartoonist and friend, Richard Thompson (Cul de Sac), was diagnosed with Parkinson's last year. He's managing things well and his friends and fellow cartoonists are coming together to support "Team Cul de Sac" to donate money towards Michael J. Fox's foundation for Parkinson's research. To donate to this cause, click here. Cartoonists are donating original artwork for a charity auction and for a book that will come out next year with the profits also going to this worthwhile cause. The theme of the artwork is to celebrate Richard's characters and the strip Cul de Sac. I scanned a couple of Richard's strips and isolated each character and assembled them in Photoshop (below) to form an Otterloop family portrait. I then painted them all in acrylic on canvas, 16" x 20." I'll need to find a beautiful gold frame to complete this masterpiece. More to come...
I came across this b&w illustration I did a couple years ago and I can't remember who the client was. It was in a folder with other random b&w spots. It may have been for someone's website. I still like it.
Need I say, "Two heads are better than one?"

What can be more important than exercise and eating healthy, Eh? Here's some line art I drew for the American Diabetes Association. The challenging part for me was coming up with healthy activities and healthy food for each letter of the alphabet and then having them all fit comfortably within the inside of the letter. These were then distributed nationally to schools to be colored and cut out. Sounds like fun activity in itself! Now... can you find where did I put that zucchini?? 10 points for the first correct answer!
