Learning with Elli

Children's book progress.

Made some time to work on my children's book yesterday. Hope to finish it soon. I'm spending a lot of time on the illustrations. I want it to be really fun for kids to look at. Let me know what you think?

A cartoon I did in 2001.

Creating an editorial cartoon in 10 minutes.

 
I started this without knowing what the gag was. Just to see if I could come up with it on the fly in 10 minutes. It was more like 11:40 but I cut out some of the pauses so it would fit in the 10 minute YouTube restraint. It's all in real time. didn't speed up the video. I just draw in a manic nature normally. Hope you enjoy it. Cheers.

Still working on my children's book. Progress is slow unfortunately.

Do they say plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery? hmmmm?

So here is the only cartoon I know of that I'm almost positive was plagiarized. You be the judge. This cartoon ran in the Henderson Home Newspaper on November 8th, 2007.

And this cartoon was published by cartoonist Randy Bish - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on Tuesday, November 10, 2009



What should I do people? Does it look like I have a case?
