A fellow caricaturist, Rubel Mujica, sent me a really nice note recently and a cool caricature of me for my collection. In the note he spoke about how much he liked the book I came out with a few years ago, and how much it has helped him.

I’m glad it did, Rubel, and thanks for letting me know! Here’s a quick caricature of you, right back at ya!
Keep on toonin’, man!

(Here’s the photos I used as reference, by the way.)

A few weeks ago, I got an email request for an interview from David over at “David-Wasting-Paper” blog. David ( he of no last name), runs a really cool blog where he interviews well known cartoonists. I was very honored to be asked. I love the site, and have made it a regular read now.

Here’s a snippet of my interview to tease you with:

Have a great, blessed, busy 2010. May God bless you and yours!

From the entire Parham family, here’s wishing you a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

Still working on it. I find the hardest thing to do with the Pogo Sketch pen I’m using is to get a smooth line. But I feel I’m making enough progress with drawing on the iPhone in a short time that I can consider it a viable “digital sketchbook”.

– Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Been trying to figure out how to sketch on the iPhone. It’s a continuing experiment. Still haven’t found what I’m looking for ( U2 reference). Best I’ve done so far is a couple of sketches like this one, with the iPhone called “Layers”. I tried Sketchbook Pro on the iPhone too,, a fave program I use on my cintiq. But I didnt’ care for anything I drew on it very much. Yes, they were all even worse than THIS one! LOL

BTW, I hate drawing with my finger, so I ordered a Pogo Sketch stylus. Kinda weird to use, but still better than my finger! I’ll keep trying…

Hey, look! It’s a Shazam! series! Just doodlin’ around with Dr.Sivana today. Ya know… DC Comics… if you want me to draw a Shazam book for you…

Yep, one of Shazam’s arch enemies was an evil genius WORM named Mr. Mind. LOL
Ya gotta love that. This was a quick warm up sketch that I threw some color on, Just playin around…

With one mighty word…. SHAZAM!!!!!

I loved the live action version of Captain Marvel as a kid in the early 70s, as goofy as it was. Here’s a sketch night tribute to the Big Red Cheese.

Here’s a recent job I thought I’d share. Hope ya like!
