Cartooning on the Internet

Having someone look at your drawings is not always what cartoonists are comfortable with. Bringing your drawings to the internet is a whole different level and many people feel safer keeping their drawings to themselves. If I had chosen to act like that, I probably wouldn't be the cartoonist I am now. You probably wouldn't see this blog if I'd kept the cartoons to myself. Really, if my mentor at 92 St Y hadn't encouraged me to make my drawings public, I wouldn't have done it. I encourage all my viewers to make their drawings open to the world and to tell them that you won't get anywhere if you don't share your work with others. It may seem embarrassing at first, but it really pays off and having a blog is just one of those features. Take my word for it: I used to be one of those people.
