My independent creative efforts.

I used to draw a lot.  Unfortunately it’s all too rare these days.   When I do, it’s exciting, but always a little like starting over again.

Today I put Wacom pen to tablet again.  I thought the results were sharable.  It is a cartoon of myself as my alter ego for his website.

I didn’t bother removing the beer belly; I think it adds character.

Included a couple of the early stages as well.  That way, if you think the end product is bad, at least you know at some point it was even worse.
