I am a Boulder area cartoonist who specializes in i cartoons for advertising, publishing and presentations. I also regularly work with authors and publishers, illustrating books; ranging from children's literature to business and non-fiction. I began drawing when I was old enough to hold a crayon without also eating it. This early self-imposed dietary restriction led to work as a cartoonist for some school newspapers, (the pre-school newspaper was the back of a spare Pampers.) About 15 years later, at the University of Illinois student newspaper, I was a cartoonist & columnist, (and held the same editor position earlier held by Hugh Hefner. The only other thing we share in common is that I also like to work in a bathrobe occasionally.) After college, I was a political cartoonist in the Chicago area...and then worked under contract for King Features and Tribune Media, creating some now obscure comic strips. My work has been published in over 100 magazines and newspapers, (including Time, Forbes and the Wall Street Journal), and has been featured on NBC's Today Show. I have illustrated over 40 books, (ranging from children's fiction to business books.) At times I am still mildly tempted to eat/suck on my drawing utensils...but now that I use a digital drawing tablet, there is a 120 volt "incentive" not to do so. (Technology has come a long way.)Fortune 100 firms and book publishers are among my repeat customers...as well as start-up companies and small businesses. 95% of my clients are outside of my home state of Colorado...so I can create something for you, no matter where you are.Clients include: Bayer, Boeing, Cisco Systems, GM, Google, Intel Corporation, Merck Pharmaceuticals, Kroger, Northwestern Mutual and Time Warner. I have illustrated books for several publishers, including Penguin Books, Pearson/Prentice Hall & Wiley Press.Email or call me to describe what you have in mind -- and I'll give you a cost and time estimate.
