A special peek at the current strip (Thurs. 4/30) as it was in process in the pencil stage! I always love seeing the process of other cartoonists, so I offer this up for your optical pleasure if it interests you!

A sneek peek at Thursday’s strip in progress - savor the awesome guest strip, true believers, for the action returneth Thursday! Thanks to A.M. May for giving us a look at Bill and Frank! We miss ‘em, but not for much longer…

Hey gang! Check out our (my dayjob in Garfield-land, Paws, Inc.) “Garfield’s Pet Force” website for our new DVD coming out - I’m particularly proud of this site, and yours truly was in on the action - particularly the Pet Force GAME on the site. Check it out! And while you’re at it, follow us on our new Pet Force Twitter and Facebook pages for it too. Let the Fur Fly!!!

Check out this awesome piece of art over at ComixTalk from one of my compadres at the Wizards of Ur featuring Bill and Frank in there!!

Here’s a quick sketch out of the ol’ 5.5 x 8.5 Strathmore Premium Recycled sketchbook I did today at lunch, drawn with a Ticonderoga #2 soft pencil (the best!). I find I like the size of this sketchbook… portable, not TOO small. A bit more restrictive in size obviously, but I sort of like that. It harkens to me to do quick doodles and more detailed small sketches. Ideal for carrying around with you, even to work. Okay, my process geek side is in full view. ;-) This was from a dinky small (and unusually NON-smiling) image pic of the beautiful Jennifer Love Hewitt I saw on the corner of a TV Guide page on my desk, so I had to sketch it! Sometimes you have to find ANYTHING to sketch. Hey, it’s not perfect, but then, it’s not meant to be! It’s really only a thumbnail size, about 2 inches wide. Art tip for the day: If you don’t want your pencil sketches to smear, spray a little hairspray on the sketch (not too close, though, and don;t saturate it, it doesn’;t take much). It acts as the perfect fixative!
