Well, looks like it’s going to be an all cartoon week. I really didn’t’ feel like writing much this week anyhow. I want to show you some of the other work I do for Georgetoon.com.  I hope you enjoy these other features as much as I do in creating them. Posted today is another I […]

The following comes from Jim,  a member on the PCLinuxOS forums. I thought I’d share it with my blog readers.  It points out how new users immediately see Linux as being attractive, powerful , and easy to set up and use.  Once you see Linux is action, your curiosity level spikes!

I’ve been using graphic photo manipulation software programs for nearly 20 years. After using several, I’ve come to the conclusion that all of them are quite similar in features, bells, and whistles.

Last Friday, Northeast Ohio got one more wallop of Winter.  When I awoke, it looked like Jack Frost had worked overtime while being on steroids. While driving out, I had to stop the car, and with my trusty cell phone, snap a couple of pictures for the blog.  It was an extremely beautiful scene despite […]

On Tuesday,  I posted a friendly reminder about lighting and protecting your computer. I needed an image for that post, and quickly turned to The Gimp to create it.  And it was easy! I first went to Deviant Art and downloaded lighting brushes for Gimp. You can get those here. Extract the file and drop […]

I draw five cartoon features which then get distributed to newspapers.  One of the features I draw is called Double Take.   It’s a comic game panel where you compare the two cartoon panels and try to figure out what’s different. I really enjoy drawing this feature.  And it’s a reader favorite. But here’s the really […]
