My first Sarah Palin cartoon.

Sarah Palin cartoon as a young girl

I am all kinds of thrilled that I've been invited to submit cartoons about the election to a major publication!! I don't think I've ever done any political cartoons until recently. (My father used to suggest that if I did them, I would be a "real" cartoonist,  but fortunately - I think it wasn't until he ...

Gah, did they coach them on how to be dull? Apparently. Neither ever ...

My fave pic so far this year!

I wrote in my other blog (which covers my goal of changing the world, one giant step at a time) about how excited I was to get my first digital camera last year, the Panasonic DMC-TZ1. I still love it, and I still don't know how to do everything- like take a picture at night ...
