Signing the contract

Working out contract negotiations is definitely not my favorite part (nor my strength) of my freelance business.
Ugh!

Drawing Cartoons for Elementary School Kids

Today I got to do one of my favorite things.....draw cartoons for and with kids at Jensen Elementary School (where both my kids attended when they were younger)! I was a presenter as part of their Fine Arts Day, and today's theme was following your dreams....mine being, to grow up and be a cartoonist. It is always great fun for me to be back at Jensen where I have so, so many fond memories, and to reconnect with some of the teachers and faculty.__More than anything, just being with the kids and having fun drawing cartoons with them always makes me feel great! Thanks, Jensen Elementary School!

Freshwater Fishing=Freshwater Mermaid

With all this unusually warm Spring weather it makes an old man's thoughts turn to fishing...among other things :-)

Monday Morning Deep Thought

Crazy Monday morning!!! No time to write up a thought-provoking, indepth, intellectually stimulating blog post...which I never do, anyway...ha. So, I'm just going to share one of my favorite old doodle sketches. Analyze this!

Survived St. Pat's!!!

My St. Patrick's Day was nothing to write home about. It passed quietly without much fanfare....and I actually managed to not lose any clothes.__Hey, for me, that's saying something!

St. Patrick's Day Fun!

For those who will be 'partaking' this St. Patrick's Day...have fun...be careful...and know when you need to be 'cut off.'

Hawkeyes Look For The Right Fit

The University of Iowa fired their mens basketball coach, yesterday. It appears they are now looking for the right fit, brain, to insert into their men's basketball program to try and breath new life into the program. It'll be interesting to see where they end up. Good luck, Igor,...I mean, Herky.
