Busted!

jcBUSTED.jpg

As per order of the Dekalb Board of Corrections, this site will discontinue until further notice due to the capture and subsequent incarceration of cartoonist John Cox.

Having been convicted of 1,186 counts of contributing to and maintaining an art blog without a creative license, Cox will be serving 2 years at a very uncomfortable penitentiary with the stipulation, upon release, that he refrain from posting ANY cartoon work that incites ridicule or any other distasteful reaction from the viewing public.

NOTE: MoveableType takes no responsibility for their part in this woeful occurrence.

I discovered a pastel study I did way back and wanted to combine it with a little 'shop magic.

I really enjoy creating contemporary images for classic literature. I relish contrasting old-school illustration techniques with clean, eye-catching graphic design.

And lying your ass off is just fine?

Charles Krauthammer wrote a sharp and insightful piece on the signing of the arms reduction treaty that examines how rogue nations just may benefit from this agreement.

I toyed with this idea: What if Agatha Christie wrote a graphic novel featuring her detective extraordinaire, Hercule Poirot?

Lefty Wins Third Masters

Phil Mickelson had an inspiring four days in Augusta. Considering his family concerns, kind of makes Tiger self-induced pantlessness seem rather shallow.

He did not make the Dean's List.
