Things weren't going so well for the home team. It was a cold night and they were losing. At least the cheerleaders kept up motivated even as they bundled up.

Illustration Friday: Rambunctious

Illustration Friday: Rambunctious, originally uploaded by speartoons.

I did this portrait for a Christmas present. I thought of this when the word for Illustration Friday was "rambunctious," because a family if four boys has to be a rambunctious family.

I drew the base art in Adobe Illustrator, then took it into Photoshop for the final touches.

Pencil sketch of a father and son getting ready to go sledding.

There is just enough snow on the ground to get a guy thinking about sledding. I drew this in pencil within my sketchbook.

Illustration Friday: Santa's Balloon

Santa's Balloon, originally uploaded by speartoons.

Santa takes a trip around the North Pole. He can't use his reindeer all the time, can he? This is what he does for free time. The big guy has to get away once in a while.

I drew the line art with Pitt Artist Pens. The color is in Photoshop.

Deer to Door

Cartoon of deer to man: "Good evening, Sir. Did you know crashes are on the rise?"

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator CS3.

Illustration Friday-Pretend

Cartoon of adult to child: “Let’s pretend you don’t think I’m an idiot when I ask you a computer question.”

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator with the pen tool and live trace.

Cartoon: More of the Same

"Don't complain about school lunches. Their punishment is just more of the same."

Cartoon of two boys in a school cafeteria. This cartoon may not be factual. All I know is it seemed to happen to me.
