Looking back.....

2019 is under way. Times have changed. Positioning at age 83 for a useful but relaxing retirement is taking shape. Yes, I will continue to sketch and paint but let's also take a look at past fun times.

To do that, I have started pages on my Blog for each of my significant past projects and will add pages for the new as they materialise.

The idea is to post (or re-post) my cartoons, strips, illustrations and caricatures for which I have original art or copies or photos. Today's technology permits the museum of my contributions to be available everywhere and now. Call it vanity if you will but I like to think they and their stories may be of interest.


Here is the first to hand (Please note that all my work is copyright and may not be reproduced in any form without the written and signed permission of myself or my heirs. I am sure you will agree that it is only fair):

   I started my LIVE caricaturing at Aussie World in November, 1989, when it had the name, Ettamogah Pub. "Gals so glamorous, Children so cute, Guys so............."   When people are happy to pay you for drawing your impression of them, the experience is addictive. I got better at sizing and added teeth and shading as the addiction took hold. No phone cameras in that day, so not many photos and definitely no social media. It was a year before I bought a laptop and started my first website (the latter long gone with my first hard drive).
