A collection of Christmas related cartoons that I've done over the years is now up on my latest Substack.

Texas Cichlid Sketch

I haven't done a #SundayFishSketch in some time and in coordination with #25DaysOfFishmas, the theme this time was a quiz. there were four clues to try to figure out the fish in question. I was coming up with everything but the fish that I needed, so I cheated and consulted the aquarists at the Belle Isle Aquarium. They gave me the answer yesterday, but I found myself down at the aquarium today to do a little volunteer work and lo and behold, they have that fish, the Texas Cichlid on display. Well, a bunch of them, actually.

They were being very uncooperative and wouldn't stay still. This is probably the best pic that I could muster. Speedy, they are.

Belleville Drink N Draw December 2025

 This past Wednesday was the first of two Drink N Draw sketch night's for this month at Egan's Pub. I worked on this sketch of Todd, who is always fun to sketch.

And then I worked on some sketches for a couple of books that I have in development. This one is for a story called The May Pole, which has one of the first appearances of the Nain Rouge. In those early stories, he first showed up as a red faced dwarf, or imp, as he was called by Cadillac.

                I'm trying to channel an illustration from Arthur Rackham, without copying directly. 

Todd brought a Lego-ish advent Christmas tree and we all took a stab at putting together a piece. I had Santa Claus. It's now hanging on our tree.
