Web site promo for my graphic novel

 Yesterday I got a spotlight on "Enatai Beach", my graphic novel, on a website called "Graphic Medicine".

I didn't know there was a specific genre of graphic novels that mine fit into. They were very kind to spotlight my GN and showcase some pages.
Please stop by and check it out.














 This weeks Saturday Morning Doodle is a bit on the personal side that represents a change going forward. A bridge to the future?

I didn't start this doodle with that intension, it just happened to go that way. Perhaps it was subliminal.
Bridges symbolize many things, from overcoming obstacles and reaching new destinations to connecting with the divine and facing our fears and insecurities.
They’re an important part of our lives, both in reality and in our dreams, representing a pathway to new opportunities, growth, and change.
Cheers to moving forward with a different mindset.

SPRING IS HERE!

 For this weekend's Saturday Morning Doodle... Spring feels like a time of endless possibilities. It’s when everything seems to awaken and the world bursts into color. The air carries a sense of renewal, and there’s this energy that almost dares you to create something new.

The tall, friendly robot represents the bridge between the mechanical and the organic, a reflection of my own fascination with combining structure and spontaneity. Surrounding it with lush greenery was my way of expressing the vibrancy and life that Spring brings. it’s a season where growth feels unstoppable, like every corner of the world is collaborating in this grand symphony of renewal.
This doodle feels like a reflection of how I see the season—a reminder to embrace growth, harmony, and the beauty of new beginnings.

 Heartbreak happens when you least expect it and that was the case for me this year. So I created this art.

Super Bowl Sunday

 Today is Super Bowl Sunday, so I'm showing some NFL artwork I did over the years. Dream Team Logos and a few of the shuttles that I did for NFL. I only have those two illustrations for shuttles from that project. Sorry I don't have the two current teams in today's game. Cheers!

1st Doodle of the new year!

 Now that the holidays are over for another year, I'm back at doing Saturday Morning Doodles (today it's the Sunday edition).

Even though we have more fog than I've seen in the PNW in the time I've lived here and the amount of dark, rainy days has been overwhelming this season, at least we haven't had snow. Empathizing with the parts of the country that are snowy and very cold.
