THIS MONTH I AM MARKING MY 20th ANNIVERSARY AS A CARTOONIST WITH EXCELSIOR NEWSPAPER. (2006-2026)

I started back in August 2006 and it's been a long but interesting journey.

Here are some shots of me acting as if I am hard at work at several work stations. The great advantage of being an editorial cartoonist nowadays is that you can work remotely and send your work via email. Before the internet, I had to deliver all my artwork in person every day!

 

Fake book cover! 

Nonetheless, I'm hoping someday I can write my real memoirs 

as soon as I have some interesting memoirs to write about!

No, I was never on the TODAY SHOW! However, I did visit the exhibit at Rockefeller Plaza. 

 It won't be on my resume, though!

A nice little desk at some open house I was visiting. 

This was my first drawing board. It served me well for more than 30 years until I had to give it away and replace it with a smaller and more functional desk. 

WILL A.I. TAKE OVER?

Every day I see Artificially Generated political and editorial cartoons in every web page and social media. The images are strikingly accurate and well rendered but they have no personality. They all look the same and I doubt if any news media outlet would prefer a cartoon that looks exactly like every other one everywhere else on its pages.  Being unique and distinctive is part of the charm and attraction of hand drawn cartoons ...or am I just wish thinking?

ELECTION DAY 2024!

EXCELSIOR daily newspaper celebrates 105th Anniversary!

                  Excelsior newspaper has been publishing my editorial cartoons since August, 2006.

Today marks the 105th anniversary of this legendary publishing company which was founded back in 1917 and I am very proud to be counted among the many contributing journalists, reporters and cartoonists who have helped to make this paper, one of the best and most relied upon news source in the country. 

Happy 105th Anniversary!

Finally, the Nightmare is Over!
