Happy New Year from RAZ & me. Here’s a little drawing I just did in Illustrator.

Hey folks, have you missed me? I sort of went underground for a while there, working on some top secret ideas for animated shows. Put together some cool stuff, but I’m going to sit on it for a minute. May share some glimpses later on, but I’m really excited about the new shows I’ve put together!

In the meantime, here’s something I don’t have to hide! It’s a girl I drew as a tattoo design for some stranger (who hated and rejected it), so I turned it into a design for a print (because I love it!). Like it?

Even more background art from the next episode of RAD RAZ. Told you there was a lot of new artwork to create for this one. Almost done with all the new backgrounds, characters and props, though, at which point I can finally move on to animating it.

More Background Art

Here’s another backround I’m working on for RAD RAZ’s “Uncle Horace” short. As usual, it might change a bit by the time the cartoon is finalized, but enjoy the sneak peek. I like the moose head.

New Background Art

Still plugging away at the fourth RAD RAZ cartoon, “Uncle Horace.” This cartoon requires significantly more backgrounds. You’ve already seen 3, and here are 2 more. As the story stands right now, there are at least 4 more to draw! Stay tuned for this cartoon, and then stick around after that, as I’m considering doing a Thanksgiving special!

New Character: Uncle Horace

Here’s the titular character from the upcoming episode of RAD RAZ entitled “Uncle Horace.” This is historic, folks. It’s the first time I’ve ever introduced a family member of RAZ into the universe. Plus he kinda looks like Larry David to me.

These Are Real: Top Search Terms

Want to know what my real, actual top search terms are right now?

cartoon t rex, birthday cartoon, cartoon bacon & eggs, bacon and eggs cartoon pics, bacon draw

That’s right, 3 out of 6 of the top search terms have to do with drawings of bacon (and eggs). All I can say is that anyone looking to draw more traffic into their blog should try tagging everything with “bacon,” “bacon cartoon,” “cartoon bacon,” “drawings of bacon and eggs,” and “bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon.”
