Best In Show Comic

Once (or should I say twice) more I have been honored to make the acquaintance of a very talented artist. Jim Horwitz is the creator of Watson, www.watsonstrip.com, a comic strip about a boy and his dog, told one panel at a time. The best thing about Jim is that he lives close by, so we can get together, have a drink and talk shop.

Daniel Boris is the creator of Hoxwinder Hall, www.hoxwinderhall.com, a comic strip about two brothers that smuggle a pet alligator home from their family vacation to Florida. Hoxwinder Hall was voted one of the top 5 finalists in the Washington Post’s “America’s Next Great Cartoonist Contest”. He’s a cool dude with some really clever comics!

Read and enjoy!

Hey everybody!  Here’s more sketches from my Little Black Sketch Book, one that I’ve brought with me to the Reuben Awards in Boston and as you will see, the Annual NCS Meeting here in Minneapolis this past fall.  I still get giddy when I flip through it…

Lockhorns by John Reiner.

Chad Carpenter, creator of Tundra, probably the most successful self-syndicated artist around.

Corgi Tales, by my friend Phil Hawkins of Asheville.

Self portrait by my good friend Mike Beckom. Mike has been my mentor from the start of my career.

Cedric Hohnstadt is a Cartoonist and Character Designer here in Minneapolis.

James Hungaski is a caricature artist north of the Twin Cities in Anoka.

I’ve been stretching out my color illustration wings…Here is the concept for a holiday cartoon that I plan to send to our family and friends. I’m almost done with the color…When it’s done, I’ll post it for all to see!

That’s the Minneapolis skyline in the background, btw.
