Black & White World III
Unfortunately the type on the cover design ended up blocking a nice glowing effect I got in the wave. You can see the final cover here.

Cox & Forkum Editorial Cartoons
Most people know my work through Cox & Forkum Editorial Cartoons, which I started illustrating with Allen Forkum in August 2001. We have over 1,000 cartoons on our Web site, so be sure to poke around. You'll also find the cartoons compiled three books.
This cartoon happens to be one in which I came of with the scenario. Allen and I tweaked it to better fit the news at the time. And unfortunately Israel eventually retured to its past record of negotiating for hostages.

Watterson
I'm a BIG Calvin and Hobbes fan. I have the book Calvin and Hobbes: Sunday Pages 1985 to 1995 by Bill Watterson, and on a whim I decided to have some fun mimicking the cover with caricatures of me and Allen (that's me up front). It gave me a chance to study Watterson's wonderful water color work. And my efforts didn't go to waste; we used it to announce our hiatus from editorial cartooning today.

Lord of the Jungle
A sketch from the Cox & Forkum book Black & White World III.
In an interview in the book, I say:
My sketchbook is full of stuff that I make up, and that’s my vacation from the realism that we try to put into our cartoons. I’m just goofing around. ... I kind of use my sketchbook as a fuel source for the editorial cartoons. What I’m not able to play with in our more serious cartoons, I immediately go to the sketchbook and kind of do a little workout. In fact, I’d be willing to bet I’m busiest in my sketchbook after one of our darker cartoons, when we’re trying to portray a certain amount of tragedy or some sort of travesty against people. Those drawings can get very dark. My sketchbook is a sort of therapy.
