Let's check out some roughs, Kids. And I drew a bunch of them. This was the idea CNN selected for last week's newsletter. I liked the way it turned out and I had a lot of fun with putting stuff on the signs. The only thing I missed with this was drawing these signs sticking... Continue Reading →

Wanna hear something awesome? I didn't have to draw a lot of roughs last week. Woo hoo! After my editor told me the lead of the newsletter, I threw this at him. He took it pretty quickly and I got to call it an early day. The only thing I changed was Mary holding the... Continue Reading →

All I had to do was write and draw it. I thought for sure I'd have to change something but nope. My editor... Continue Reading →
