The Shivering Guy by Joe Williams
This is a drawing I banged out for a propane ad a while back. I had forgotten all about it, but recently somebody emailed me regarding my cartoon and illustration work. It’s hard to see in this version,but I had snuck my website on one of this fellow’s left shoe. An eagle-eyed admirer spied it and was good enough to email me. I have to remember to sneak my website into everything I do!
I was recently asked to do some sketches of Roman orator Marcus Tullius Cicero for a project this guy was trying to pitch. He needed them in a hurry, so I made some doodles and sent them off. I went to high school with the guy and thought he was all right, but I never heard from him again. I called. I e-mailed. I hired a psychic. Maybe I should file a missing persons report.
I’m not sweating it – it’s not like I’m giving away Bugs Bunny, and they didn’t take that long to do. They are just Fred Flinstoney sketchbook sketches done in front of the television. Oh, well.
The latest and greatest from Tina for Lloyd on the tenth anniversary of his birth. The theme this year was the violin since that is what Lloyd has been learning this school year. See a recent recital here. Sharp-eyed music aficionados may notice that the music around the band is “Happy Birthday.”

Here is Birthday Crown No. 8 by Tina Garceau. Lloyd was and still is heavily into Trick My Truck which is a reality/makeover series where these guys essentially trick out some trucks. So his eighth birthday had an 18-wheeler theme.
The shot below shows the side bands of the crown which carry the theme all around the wearer’s head.

It’s our son’s birthday this week so we figured we would show some of his birthday crowns which Tina makes every year. The trick is figuring out the crown’s theme. Usually it’s based on Lloyd’s current obsession. Music was the theme for his 4th.
The crown’s are digital collages created with a combination of Photoshop and Illustrator. They are printed on card stock and cut out by hand.

Monkey & Bird deal badly with back-to-back blizzards. ‘Nuff said!
