Cartooner Love


No matter what I do, I can never stop drawing cartoons! Back when I was in 8th grade, my teacher Mrs. Miller, gave everyone in the class awards based on their natural abilities. I was awarded the, "Cartoonist" award. I was honored, and in addition to that, I was offered the chance to attend art classes in the summer, which were coincidentally taught by my 5th grade teacher Mr. Barth. The art class taught me to expand my creative abilities by creating art with several different mediums, forcing me to go outside my comfort zone.
I will be forever grateful to Mrs. Miller for that gift!

This piece is dedicated to her, for whatever it's worth...

I was inspired by an old Simpsons episode, where Homer was leaving work in a Fred Flintstone fashion. I thought it was hilarious, so this quote came to mind, for all those who remember.
I sketched this piece out while I was at work a few years ago. The colors and inks were laid down in PS CS4.

Enjoy!
