Tan Tax

That's right. There's talk of taxing tanning beds. Makes me think of the Beatles song "Tax Man." This ran with an accompanying piece in the Los Angeles Times last week. You can read the article here.

LA Weekly

I'm now drawing a cartoon each week for the LA Weekly. Be sure to pick one up....they're everywhere and they're free! Somewhere between plastic surgery, medical marijuana and asian massage parlor ads is a news section and that's where you can see my cartoon. I was asked to draw local Los Angeles material so that's what I'm doing every week. So, no Obama, elephants, donkey's or any of that nonsense. The above is a sampling of recent work.

Olivia Speaks

My daughter Olivia is learning new words every day. Her vocabulary has exploded in the last few months. She's almost two and I think her verbal skills have to do with 1. Very talkative parents 2. Reading to her a lot.

Getting Creative

This illustration appears in yesterday's edition of the Los Angeles Times accompanying this article. Job creation is not the most riveting of topics but I somehow managed to come up with more than one idea.



This illustration appeared on the same page with this article. As one of the 400,000 in the LA area who lost a job in the last year it was amusing to get an assignment illustrating ways to create more jobs for the region. I'm holding my breath!

Creative Thinking

Sometimes it's just easier to think inside the box, ya know?

Happy New Year!

Now that it's 2010 let's take a look at the last decade in cartoons! My very own Cartoon Decade In Review! This is a page I put together for the Daily News with some of the biggest moments in cartoons of the last ten years. It's very LA-centric and there are many moments that could have only happened here in Los Angeles. The space at the top was left open for the masthead at the top of the newspaper page.

My resolution for this year is....drum roll please.....to BE A BETTER BLOGGER! That's right, I resolve right here and right now to maintain this blog on a regular basis, posting more and more work. So, watch out. Lots cartoons and some of my other projects will be coming at you in 2010!

Turkey Day Warm Up

Late Night Spot

TakePart.Com asked me to do a cartoon on World Food Day, which was friday of last week. A topic that normally wouldn't lend itself to a cartoon but I took it as a challenge. If you'd like to learn more about the ongoing food crises all over the world follow this link.
