Good Bye & Hello.

Encouragement can do wonders!

Work for a fellow bus driver.

These are some projects that I did for a fellow bus driver for Christmas gifts for his kids. It has been a LONG TIME since I did caricatures and I am a little rusty but it was for a coworker so I gave it a try again.

Merry Christmas.

Christmas and New Years Trading Cards for the kids on my school bus.

These are the cards that went out to the kids for Christmas and New Years.

Help I've become an assembly line!!

Shannon fell in love with a couple of the characters from the new comic strip and she wanted them on this years Christmas cards, so for some I HAND MADE EACH CARD, I believe this is wave 1 of 3.

Lets not rush things.

It's all in how you look at it.

Believe!

Sharing is caring.

LOVE snowdays!

....somethings missing here.

Giving a little of yourself.

It's all up hill from here!

Fetch!

Hello Cyber Monday!

As I was updating my website with a merchandise spot I realized that I had not updated for a while so here it is.

First, last week I created the Thanksgiving Cards they went over well, for all the different buses, from what I understand. The new cards looked like this...

Second, I have really been studying this new style of illustration work. It's pen and ink, sometimes with color, and after doing it for a couple of weeks, I am hooked on it, we have affectionatly started calling it "Doodleton" as in the city of Doodleton. When asked what Im doing I say; "Oh just doodling." and the name has stuck. For those of you following Cartoons By Sketch Studios on Facebook, you will see that I have been publishing them in an album, it's very addicting, very calming and I have already finnished most of our Christmas cards! I'll put some of the work from my sketch book here...

I even managed to get a Thanksgiving one done, which we called "Thanksgiving at Fort Doodleton." Shannon like it so much that she framed it and put it up in the hallway.

I'm now working on a new one for Shannon with Snowmen in it for the Holidays, PLUS, I have to get a Christmas and New Years card ready for the kids before vacation time.

I am starting to get geared up for Christmas...family vacation to Florida....Disney! Here we come!
