I saw Herb Alpert last night - yes he’s still around, and at 91 he puts on an amazing show! Here’s our “Spanish Flea.” #herbalpert #herbalpertandthetijuanabrass #spanishflea #art #cartoon #illustration

You may have noticed the addition of “no genAI, ever” in my bio, because that’s still a cause I’m passionate about. Keep humans in art and the arts human! #art #artistsagainstai #noai #supporthumanartists

Work in progress of a shadowbox type piece… The 3D effect is cool, but I feel that the dolphin and water hide those background fish too much. Do you think I should go back to it later, make any changes, or abandon it? #art #workinprogress #dolphin #frutigeraero

Happy birthday to my birthday twin @georgetakei.bsky.social! Finally read both the graphic novel memoirs recently and loved them so much.

It’s my birthday, so here’s my frog Mo singing to me because he’s been doing that lately. #art #cartoon #frog #africanclawedfrog

One bouquet, three little (6x4”) studies. Soft pastel for two of them, and Sharpie on a gouache background for one. #art #softpastel #study #colorstudy #sketch #floral

Wedding shower card incorporating the couple’s porch and love for porch geese! It’s not a thing everywhere, but where I’m from it’s a popular pastime to have a goose statue and dress it up. #art #wedding #weddingcard #handmadecard #porchgoose

The other day at work, a customer told me this joke. I was worried where it was going from the first line, but it ended up making my day. Happy Easter! #easter #easteregghunt #easterjokes #jokes #easterbunny

Happy Easter from @megantheartoonist.bsky.social and Me! #easter #holidayart #artpersona #sketchbookapp

I don’t have time for much of my own work other than doodling at the moment. Pardon the quality of these, but hopefully you’ll enjoy this Pupeye model sheet and some scenarios I’ve gobbled- er, cobbled- together. #pupeyethesailormutt #popeye #popeyethesailor #modelsheet #sketchbook #cartoon #au

It took longer than expected to get Postcard 38, featuring delightful artwork by returning champion @megantheartoonist.bsky.social in the mail (to MBCP Patreon subscribers at the top four levels), and to produce this riveting video evidence. But it's on the way now! www.patreon.com/posts/postca...

Throwback to a cartoon I did in 2020. This was for my high school newspaper and was inspired by Off the Mark’s “what are you listening to” series. #cartoon #books #reading #bookclub #puns

I was going to just post the remaining two pictures in this series, but I figured why not just collect all four together in one place? @laurelandhardy.bsky.social #laurelandhardy #stanandollie #art #cartoon #frogs

Episode 2 of Laurel and Hardy frogs! This idea came about because of a particular image in the book Collecting Laurel and Hardy where I thought they looked rather frog-like. #laurelandhardy #stanlaurel #oliverhardy #frog #vintageinspired #cartoon #art

Laurel and Hardy frogs, part 1 of 4, to celebrate Oliver Hardy’s birthday today #laurelandhardy #stanlaurel #oliverhardy #frogs #vintageinspired #art #cartoon

Born 18th January 1892, Happy Birthday Ollie. "The world is full of Laurel and Hardys... There's always the dumb, dumb guy, who never has anything bad happen to him, and the smart guy who's even dumber than the dumb guy, only he doesn't know it"-Oliver N. Hardy #laurelandhardy

My absolute favorite moment from Popeye cartoons

Happy 97th birthday Popeye! I gave his first appearance the Pupeye twist, featuring Castor Owl, Ram Gravy, and Bernice the Whiffle Hen. #pupeyethesailormutt #popeye #popeyefanart #thimbletheater #ecsegar

“Peep and the Big Wide World” Watercolor and colored pencil, 21.5x16” Last summer I photographed what I think was a young Eastern Kingbird at my favorite lake. I had been wanting to paint it ever since! #art #painting #watercolor #easternkingbird #birdart

I usually get commissioned for pets, family members, etc, but this time I got asked to draw a young Jack Benny! #jackbenny #thejackbennyprogram #classiccomedy #oldcomedians #cartoon #art

A little thank you gift for friends of my family. #art #cartoon #watercolor #simplewatercolor #cartoonportrait

Most of my pet portrait subjects look pretty happy, which makes an assignment like this all the more refreshing. #art #cat #funnycat #cartoon #cartooncat #petcommission

Thank you to Will for this idea

I don’t get as many commissions for realistic cat portraits, so this was a fun one! #petportrait #cat #catportrait #digitalpainting #art

Ever since I learned that in many countries it’s a tradition to watch an old comedy sketch called “Dinner For One” on New Year’s Eve, I have made it a tradition too. #dinnerforone #freddiefrinton #sameprocedureaslastyear #art #cartoon #newyearseve
