Taking The Next Step.

I've been using two-layer color with reflection overlays in my cartoons, cartoon logos, and cartoon advertisements for quite a while, as in the image at left. Two layers makes the shading and shadows very smooth without raggedy separation lines between the various shades. But now I want to try three-layer color. It might turn out to be an overkill, but I'm anxious to see what it looks like. Good or bad, I'll post it here after I try it. :D I'm always striving to make my cartoons, cartoon logos and cartoon advertisements better.

Creating Anything From Anything - The World Is Our Playground

There are as many ways to put new twists on old ideas as there are new ideas. Cartoons, cartoon logos, and cartoon advertisements really pop with humor. Make it simple or make it complex, but make it your own.

The Beauty Of Color, Reflection, Shadows and Shading

The best cartoons, cartoon logos, and cartoon advertisements are complicated but don't appear complicated. The cartoon on the left is from the Basketball Department of my internet store. It has much more than shape and color. It has shadow on the face, arms, and clothing created by multilayer shading. It has spot reflection on the arm and head from overlays. And it has gradient reflection on the basketball created by a different software entirely. Simple it seems, but simple it's not.

I'm always striving to make my cartoons, cartoon logos, and cartoon advertisements better. When your name is on the line, why settle for less than the best?

Greeting Cards Should Be Fun

Greeting cards should be fun. Just look around you. You are unique. Your life is unique. The area where you live is unique. There are plenty of bold, interesting things to say to your family, friends, and coworkers. Things that will be shared, saved and remembered. Even framed.

Ask yourself what you would rather receive. A 50 cent card or a truly personal greeting from someone willing to share their lives with you? I make cartoons, cartoon logos, and cartoon advertisements better.

When Clip Art And Software Robots Just Won't Work


There are many websites offering clipart and software-generated caricatures. But clipart and software robots won't brainstorm with you like I do. They possess no business sense nor sense of humor like I do. Clipart isn't going to look like you, but  my caricatures will. And robot software won't merge multiple images into a single, polished image like I can.

Cartoons, cartoon logos, and cartoon advertisements don't have to be complicated to work for you. But they need your ideas to come to life, and your ideas need cartoons to look their best. If clip art and robot-generated caricatures are art, then kids' coloring books are literature.

It's your name. Use it to your advantage with cartoons, cartoon logos, and cartoon advertising.
