Rainy Day in Mexico City...

Okay, so it wasn't raining that much this morning but I didn't let that spoil my cartoon idea, which incidentally, was entirely done using my new Wacom Intuos Tablet!!!

MY NEW WACOM INTUOS TABLET!


Early this year in January I bought a Wacom Intuos Tablet to try and start drawing my cartoons digitally and, after three months of practice, I won't say it's been an exercise in frustration...but it has. I just can't seem to get the hang of it. No matter how hard I try, my lines are squiggly, crooked or shaky and I just can't get the same control and feel I get from drawing directly on paper.  But it's been a nice experience and I'm sure I'll keep getting much joy and satisfaction from my new Wacom Intuos Tablet the next time I use it which will be early in January of 2051 I think!

The New Year Black Hole!

Economic uncertainty and Donald Trump taking over the White House are some of the bad omens for 2017, but optimism and lots of good humor are hopefully going to get me through the year!

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING WITH MOBSTER NICK - A selfie...


With the 2016 Christmas Season already upon us, Mobster Nick went out shopping in his own, "special" way. Even while dodging a nasty law officer, Nick had time to take a selfie for all his fans!
Happy Holidays!

THE CASTLE presents: CREEPY CONDO

Back in 1964, during the height of the great 60s "Monster Craze", I developed a private comic book named "THE CASTLE". I was 13 years old and drew the comic in simple bond paper with pen and ink with color added with markers and color pencils. I only completed four issues and left the project for something else. "THE CASTLE" was never intended for publication of any kind and as I left my parents home years later, the comic books were lost. I recently recreated the cover of the first issue by memory and I am reposting it here as well as a few samples of a new comic strip inspired by the same characters. The new strip is called "CREEPY CONDO" and it was done just for fun in the spirit of the forthcoming Halloween. Hope you enjoy it!

THE FROGTOWN CHRONICLES - 1993

Back in 1993, I created THE FROGTOWN CHRONICLES, a comic strip depicting the life of a frog community. The gags always related to everyday events or some current topics. The strip was published rather obscurely in La Jornada (The Working Day), a local newspaper, on its Sunday Comics section.  The strip was not very successful and I stopped doing it after about a year. Here are some brief samples.

Four of my PINK PANTHER covers in Sweden!





And here we have four of my covers for the PINK PANTHER comic books published in Sweden between 1983 and 1985. The Grand Comics Database has all the information but there is no way of knowing if the inside stories and artwork were mine.  Bummer!
