"Lashing Out!"

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. This is always a very busy time of the year for me. I have twelve, full page wrestling illustrations that I have to complete in two weeks time. Then again, busy is a GOOD thing! The above "Lashing Out!" cartoon is my latest for THE WRESTLER/INSIDE WRESTLING. For those of you who follow wrestling, the latest big story is TNA's acquisition of wrestling and cultural icon Hulk Hogan.

Speaking of wrestling illustrations, my friend Torren Thomas did a phenomenal painting of TNA wrestler Somoa Joe; which he posted on his blog a few weeks ago. If you're a fan of caricature and/or digital painting you have to check out his site. I can promise you this guy is on the fast track to becoming a Master Caricaturist.

Happy New Year everyone!

A "Lashing Out!" Retrospect...

Okay, so I thought this might be a little fun. Above is a little comparison. One of my most recent “Lashing Out!” cartoons, and the very FIRST “Lashing Out!” cartoon, which I drew around 1998. I’m working on putting together a collection book of my wrestling cartoons. It’s been fun, and oddly strange, to see the evolution of my work. Some of the older cartoons I don’t even remember drawing. Obviously, too many concussions…

"Lashing Out!"

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. It has been a tough month with a LOT of personal difficulties. Anyway, I always feel the need to explain these cartoons -- not as many people follow wrestling these days. This cartoon refers to the latest WWE storyline, which had Vince McMahon "selling" WWE to Donald Trump, only to have Trump sell it right back to him the following week. Wow! What an exciting storyline... {rolls eyes}.

Another "Lashing Out!"...

This is another "Lashing Out!" cartoon that appeared in The Wrestler. The storyline? A Leprechaun-ish "little person" whom referred to himself as "Hornswoggle" being exposed as Vince McMahon's illegitimate son. Their similarities, of course, are obvious...

"Lashing Out!"

This is a "Lashing Out!" cartoon I drew for The Wrestler last summer. The storyline was a supposed Vince McMahon "death" caused by a "car bomb." Needless to say, the "death" storyline was short-lived due to the very real tragedy of Chris Benoit and his family.
