Thanks everybody. I'll do this once again down the line.
I've e-mailed the winner and let him know he is the proud owner of a bit of blogoshpere history.

Illustration Gig: Rough to Finished Art
Recently finished this job for Direct Brands. The art director took my original pencil rough and played with it in Photoshop to give me an idea of the final design incorporating the cover graphics. From there I can go to finish and make the illustration as eye-catching as possible.
Caricature Show
Sylvia Cross, the gallery owner at 120 Sycamore Place here in Decatur, thought it would be fun to fill the gallery space with roughly 140 of the caricatures I've done over the years. The opening was July 4th and the visitors got a kick out of all the different personalites I've lampooned. Not many sales, but the vibe was very appropriate to such a loose and unconventional group of work.
I put the pieces up for sale at $100 each. You can find almost all of them on the old Cox and Forkum site at the Newsmaker caricature button and at this site's caricature archives. If there are any takers out there, e-mail me your choice. If it's available, I'll let you know and I'll be happy to send it along.

TECHNICAL NOTE
As much as I'm enjoying the activity on the comment threads, I'm having a hard time getting my own comments to appear on even given post. Apparently, my comment posts are being sent back to me for my own okay. HUUH? So, if it my lack of commenter responses seems aloof, that is not the case. If there's anyone out there who has experienced this problem (MoveableType), I'd sure like to hear a solution.
UPDATE Been messing around with it and now I'm able to comment.YEEAAY!

Walter Cronkite (1916-2009)
"OBJECTIVE JOURNALISM AND AN OPINION COLUMN ARE ABOUT AS SIMILAR AS THE BIBLE AND PLAYBOY MAGAZINE."
-Walter Cronkite-
"THAT'S IT. IF I'VE LOST CRONKITE, I'VE LOST MIDDLE AMERICA."
-Lyndon B. Johnson-
When I was young kid in the 60's and 70's, Walter Cronkite seemed to me the only newsman in existence. As if our television was his personal pipeline into our house.

A painting in mind....
9" x 5"
graphite on paper
I came across this little graphite study as I went through a few boxes of older drawings. I think this could be a fun oil on canvas if I do it large, maybe 72" x 40". Really says "summer" to me.

Book Cover Idea
In 1994,Christopher Buckley inflicted his satiric wit on the cigarette industry. I just finished reading this novel. Very, very funny. Very dark.
This is an illustration I constructed from a photo I took and then messed with in Photoshop.
