This past Sunday, I attended the Chalk Festival at the Cleveland Museum of Art.  It’s been years since I picked up a piece of chalk.  But, what a lot of fun!  There’s something quite inviting to getting down on your hands and knees and drawing on smooth piece of sidewalk! Working with chalk is quite different […]

This is the pen I use for inking in all my comic strips and cartoon features. You can get one by clicking here.  this pen and other drawing tools are available  at The Georgetoon Studio Stop. The non-photo blue pencils I talk about are also avaible at The Georgetoon Studio Stop. You can get them […]

Here’s a quick look at a really nice portable drawing board I often use.  I’ve had this board for years.  And it’s a perfect tool to use.  It turns any desk or table into an instant slanted drawing table! You can find a similar model in The Georgetoon Studio Stop store. (If you look closely […]

My nephews and nieces are always giving me terrific gifts. Most all of these have to do with my cartooning or devices for my studio. My nephew Tom gave me a terrific pencil case!           

I still don’t know how Google did it, but tey managed to grab some of my cartoon pics and video off my tablet and make an “Auto-Awesome” movie.  Despite the one flipped image (not sure how that happened), it’s pretty darn cool! By the way, I use a Nexus 7 from Google (7-Inch, 32 GB, […]

To follow up my post discussing digital tools, here’s a quick look at how I use GIMP to edit my George comic strip.

  You can now follow George on Instagram. Sometime last year, my nephew Tom suggested I start posting a worm drawing on Instagram every day under the hashtag of #awormaday.  I thought this was a great idea and immediately  jumped in! It now appears to have morphed into posting my comic strip George, as wel […]

Whoops! I almost forgot! It’s Cartoonists Day!

I’ve been having fun doing a drawing each day and posting it to InstaGram.  It’s under the hash-tag #awormaday.  My nephew Tom came up with the idea. Above is an example of the kinds of cartoons I’ve been creating.  It’s something different every day.  And, as I’ve said, I’ve been having a lot of fun […]
