New Character

I have been doin' some experimentin' with drawin'.  While I do want to improve my artwork as a whole I also want to do some simple stuff in a little more cartoon type way.  When I first started cartooning a few years back someone told me I should find a style I like and stick with it.  I don't think he is around any longer.  I got some great advice from a lot of people and a lot of encouragement from some others and it has kept me goin'.  One of the best pieces of advice I got was from some of the greatest and that was "The main thing is to have fun and enjoy it."  I have been doin' a whole lot of that later. 

As you read this I will probably be working on my new medium, sliced Cypress Knees.  These are roots from Cypress trees that I cut into disks and then draw the faces and pictures I see in the wood grain.  A friend of mine went to the swamp yesterday and brought me back four large ones and I can't wait to get them cut up and start workin' on them.

I decided to name the Weiner Dog  Frankie.  I think it fits.  You will be seein' some more of him later, either here or on my comic site at www.gatorhead.wordpress.com.

I am gettin' a little more productive but I am not ready to commit to postin' more than twice a week on the Gatorhead page yet.  I want to build my buffer up.  I use this blog to catch the overflow and I might be moving it to a wordpress sight soon because I have trouble answering the comments on here.

It won't hurt my feelin's none if yall tell me what yall been thinkin'.
