IIT – Gummies
I am disheartened at how easily younger people think of older as being incompetent, foolish, having disgusting habits - all things everyone displays - but older folks cannot fight back as easily. So to me, unless someone has cognitive disabilities, don’t treat them like they are children. I think my lady here is super cool. And I hope her gummies work for her ...
Cartoon – Channelling Pollack
I paint in a loose style and people always comment on it. Mostly they like it and many want to know how they can loosen up. Of course I don’t paint like Pollack but he does throw paint around. So maybe one’s brain can take a break and you can engage in what I call “brain stem painting” ...
Cartoon – Grandparent Technology
Speaking in acronyms is not my forte. I stalled at OMG! ...
Cartoon – Throw Kendall a Bone
Years ago we had out of town company and they brought their little dog. I don’t know the breed of that dog, but the long hair seemed to be the same length over his face and his rear. Especially when he lay under the table at our feet. You did not know which end was which. Thus the cartoon ...
Cartoon – Climate Change Pallette
Just a play in words that perhaps will only register with artists ...
Cartoon – Not an iPad

Cartoon – Wishful Thinking

This cartoon came out of those thoughts ...
Cartoon – Tattoo Mom
I intended to do a series on Tattoos after many years. I studied the artwork on people wherever I went. But times have changed and now the art is so complicated and covers so much skin that envisioning what it might look like after sagging skin just doesn’t work. Unless you can envision one that is even better than MOM becoming WOW and share it with me ...
Cartoon – Wall Street
This cartoon dates back to the 1980’s when I was a newsroom illustrator for the Daily Press. Ideas and people’s reactions have not changed that much but subscriptions aren’t likely to be hard copy and shopping is more and more online ...
Introducing: My Cartoon Series
At my age, why am I starting a cartoon series ... It took me 4 years of shlepping myself up to William and Mary College in Williamsburg (about 30-45 minutes from my home) while dealing with a new home, two babies, and a husband trying to start a medical practice in a strange land, to finally be awarded my Master of Education in guidance and counseling. It took me only 30 minutes after being offered ...
