A radio show with me....

Here is the link to listen to me... talk about all things from children's books to the Green Monkey comic strip... and you get to listen to lots of songs that I like to. It was great fun to do and of course you get to listen to EELs in there.

Eric Idle's What About Dick? in Los Angeles

Saw "What About Dick?" Eric Idle's play about.. ummm well I'm not too sure what it was about... seriously.. I really think they should have handed out scripts so we could follow along. HOWEVER. I sure had a great time sitting in the FRONT freaking row .... drawings posted here. The cast was great and Eric Idle sure looked like he was having a blast (but then again he had a script to follow the mayhem).

The show was presented as a Radio Play.. oh and it was also a musical complete with bagpipes for Billy Connelly to sing along to. I haven't figured that part out either.

The Great One, Mark Evanier, and I had a lot of fun trying to figure out what everyone was saying especially Billy Connelly. We finally gave up and just laughed along with the rest of the crowd. Mark's review of the proceeding can be found over on his site http://www.newsfromme.com/category/theater/

Tracy Ulman was wonderful as was Eddie Izzard who, I found out, is a terrific talent but not at doing the voice of a man from India but he more than made up for it with is charming wit.

I'm sorry I didn't get to draw the entire cast but I was laughing too much.

Please don't forget to catch my comic The Green Monkeys over at The Green Monkeys.

Dodger Game April 16th 2012

From my recent day at Dodger Stadium where we all witnessed a triple play and had no idea what was going on. It wasn't until the next day that we all realized this has not happened in 130 years of baseball. If we had been at the Gettysburg Address I'm sure I would have turned to my friends and said, "Who's that tall guy with the hat?"

Enjoy the sketchbook.

Hoppy Easter Everyone.

This was suppose to be my New Yorker cover but I guess it didn't make the cut.... anyway all the best on Easter.

A painting from my upcoming book in 2013!

Well...here it is... the final painting I just completed for my new book due out next year. Sure takes a long time and you'll be pleased to know that I'll be plugging it on facebook and twitter for the next year.

FINISHED!

My new book that I started painting back in the beginning of February is finally done save for a few finishing touches...but it's done... this one is dedicated to Betty, my mom who I could never have done this book without.

At the Farmers Market in LA

This is from my sketch book while at the Farmers Market in Los Angeles. I go there most days for morning coffee to watch the crowd... the usuals were there... Paul Mazursky and George Segal. 

My rejected New Yorker Cover... Happy Easter!
