I was asked to donate some teaching time to a local community college, so I put together a quick teaser video. In hindsight, it reflects how much coffee the typical cartoonist consumes. Enjoy!

7 Wonders of the Ancient World map
All seven wonders of the ancient world are located on or near Mediterranean Sea, largely because those who wrote about them had traveled in these areas. Marvels like the Great Wall of China or the Taj Mahal in India (modern-day wonders) were unknown to the list makers or had not yet been built. Click for a larger image.

Making Faces
This was an illustration for Kids Discover Muscles, explaining how different muscles are used to make different facial expressions. It also serves as a guide for when I’m drawing other characters. The only drawback was that I couldn’t use kids that wore glasses. There was also a lot of mirror time in this one.

About
Making the most of THE BOX for nearly twenty years.
I’ve always loved listening to how people speak as opposed to what they are saying. Above is a page from a forthcoming book entitled Mutter Juice Noise Re-rhymes. If not apparent, it’s a phonetic mashup of Mother Goose. Enjoy!

These are images (and sketches) that complement two points in Kids Discover Chocolate. The first being that chocolate is dangerous for dogs to consume, and the other that chocolate does not cause or otherwise agitate the problems related to acne.
