Just found this video of myself from this fall's gig at Texas Tech!

I had a quick question. How did you develop your technique and style? Is it natural, or did you take some form of classes?

I didn't even know I could make a living at it. After doing it a few years I developed a "style" but it took a lot of practice to get to where I felt confident enough to draw what I felt I saw. Now, if a person reminds me of somebody or something I've seen before, be it a famous person, an animal, a muppet or a cartoon character- I try to get the essence of that into the picture. If that impression gets communicated in the drawing then I feel I have done my job well- and hopefully it gets a laugh or the viewer will see the resemblance to what I was going for at least. (like it or not! LOL!) Thanks for leaving a comment!
