Is he a good dancer?

Ah, time for a new topic in Illustration Friday: Tango. I’m a fanatic watcher of Dancing with the Stars, but not a dancer myself (except for a little ballet in my own living room.) I still can’t tell all the dances apart, but I do know that the Tango, and particularly the Argentine Tango is HOT.

One of the things judges look for in this dance are flecks. At least I thought that was what I thought they were saying; Bruno with his Italian accent, Dancemastr with his English accent, and Carrie Anne with her mumbling. It’s flicks.

I like flecks better.

Love the colors in this.

I draw cartoons for The New Yorker, Slate, Barron's, WSJ, Parade, Glamour, and many other magazines and papers. I share some of these cartoons here, and I started this blog to also talk about the art and business of cartoons. Like soup and sandwich, you can't have one without the other. Your comments are welcome!
