Can I post your cartoons on my web site?
NO, not without express permission from me to do so! In some cases there may be conditions if permission is granted.
It is NOT okay to lift my artwork (or anyone else's for that matter)... this work is NOT in the piblic domain (being online does not automatically make anything public domain, only publicly viewable). Piracy will result in action being taken, including possible legal action.

Can we reprint your work in a print publication? Is there a fee to do so?
Quite possibly, but only with express permission from me to do so. A reprint fee is generally asked, though I may waive it under certain circumstances.

I need to write a report on cartooning, or to learn about the field.
Try going to my LINKS page. Of potential help are the National Cartoonists Society site and Cagle.com (under Professional Organizations), and the Cartoonists Fountain of Knowledge and Stu¹s comic strip connection (under Additional Resources: Cartooning). At some point I may try to add my own cartooning information section.

Are you available to handle a drawing assignment from my company or /publication?
Yes, I take on freelance assignments as time permits. Please contact me directly to discuss assignements and rates.

Do you do a comic strip?
No, although I've done several proposed strips that did not get picked up for publication. A sampling is here.

How come I’ve never heard of you?
I'm primarily an editorial cartoonist, and have never been syndicated, so I lack national visibility. My career has been in daily newspapers on the U.S. West Coast (Los Angeles, Seattle and San Francisco metro areas), but generally these have been the number two (or lesser) papers in each metro area.

What are you doing at the Ventura County Star (California) newspaper?
I'm currently on my sixth daily paper, primarily as a news artist with editorial cartooning as part of the job. Ventura County is a beautiful area between L.A. and Santa Barbara, and not far from family and from where I grew up.

Weren’t you with Editor & Publisher magazine?
I freelanced cartoons for them every week for three years (1995-98). They eliminated the editorial cartoon feature as part of a redesigned look for the magazine, although my cartoons were very well received while I was doing them.

Do you have a book of your cartoons out?
Not yet. I am in many reprint collections, including the annual Best Political Cartoons of the Year and the Best Editorial Cartoons of the Year series, but at this point there are no books of my own. The best collection of my work is this web site.

What do you draw with? Do you use a computer?
I draw in ink on paper, using various pens (the Uniball Vision Micro by Sanford, the Micron Pigma series by Sakura and the Splash brush-pen by Yasutomo are the curent ones used). The cartoon is scanned into a Macintosh computer, where I add shading (and sometimes lettering), do clean-up, and make it into an electronic file for publication.

Who built this web site?
I designed and built it, teaching myself from scratch, primarily with Dreamweaver 2. It took about ten months from start to first posting, partly due to all the learning needed and partly due to the large number of images and notes about each.
