Birds Birds Birds

Salvador Dali began a new genre in art, especially sculpture, by combining a telephone with a lobster. The sculpture was painted white and the combination of two disparate entities became all the rage.  I am working in this tradition in my illustrations of birds who are combined with things which belong elsewhere, such as the kitchen. 

The Trump Election: Laugh so you don't cry...

From primary season all the way to the election, the opportunities for humor abounded.  Collected here are my impressions of the Trump election, one of the more absurd developments of my life.

Election night was so upsetting we could barely sleep that night. In the days leading up to the election, it seemed like Hillary would win. As the evening progressed, however, it was clear Trump would win. I thought that Trump was a fraud in every way and I did not foresee that many Republicans either didn't see what I saw, or didn't care.

It was all rather depressing.

More recent murmurings...

I've experienced a recent upsurge of foot pain. It was really getting me down, so I decided to try to use some healing humor on myself. Although the pain might not actually be due to plantar fasciitis, it is such a terrific  name for a malady, I've decided to label it as such.

This was my first "requested" cartoon.  Erica mentioned she was running around packing for a summer vacation and started thinking of herself as being in one of my cartoons. She asked me what that might look like.  I was also thinking about  Julie and her birthday cupcakes, so I combined the two thoughts into one cartoon:

E is an at home parent with toddler twins and a giant dog. I was thinking about him the other day and came up with this to express my admiration:

If you haven't had a Shake Shack meal, then this cartoon might not make any sense. I decided to use pastels to get some color here, as the I was having trouble differentiating the cheese, lettuce, and burger meat. Not sure I'll attempt color again.
