Elephant Fridays

This summer, I visited a wildlife reserve in South Africa where there were 2 resident male elephants who would regularly go around and knock down trees together.

You know, to unwind on Fridays.

Happy long weekend.

A Status Message a Day #110

Grumpiness offset by awesome friends. Close call ;)

Back to School

Just kidding, I love my job ;)

A Status Message a Day #109

Some mornings lack content and I think I'm okay with that.

Fly Me to the Moon

A tribute to Neil Armstrong, first man on the moon.

By the time I was born, flying to the moon was no longer just a dream.

Growing Up Slow

Dumb as a rock, but learning ;)

Serious Bun of Hair

Maybe it's time to get a haircut. Gotta love Trader Joe's though!

Here is the color version plus a few tweaks. (Including the unedited copy below.)

The Dating Pool #6

This one isn't going to win me any friends, but so be it ;)

Speed Dating Questions

Just for fun. Speed dating questions with a shot of bitterness. I'm not there yet, but you never know ;) It's a tough crowd.

Single Girl Calling

Being single isn't just a hobby; it's a calling. ;)

Single Girl, Friday Night

Ran out of time to color, but here is the line work. Color version to come. Maybe.

Don't judge. Single Girl can do anything she damn well pleases on Friday night. ANY-thing.

(Shout out to and all hail Stupendous Man.)

Beautiful Place

This is one of those classic New York moments.

Lest you forget:

A Poor Sense of Direction

I don't have any idea where I'm going. Most of the time. But I tell myself I'll get there eventually.

It's a journey, after all.

Sketching Overseas

No cartoon today, but here are some sketches of recent travels...

As someone who is geographically-bound and directionally-challenged, cartooning has given me a reason to: 1) take the F train; and 2) go overseas to Brooklyn.

If you know me, you know it's almost a miracle to get me out of Manhattan. So hurray for personal victories.

A Status Message a Day #108

Did you notice? It was great kite-flying weather over the weekend :)

The Language of Siblings

You know how there are some people who just "get it" without you having to explain yourself?

That's what's awesome about siblings. (Luff ya, little bro!)

Missing the Boat

The single girl life: Win some, lose some...

Something On Your Head

Thinking too much. Pigeons are a bad sign. Go watch the Olympics!

Jo'berg Airport

This is an illustrated chronicle of my journey from JFK ✈ JNB ✈ DUR last month. It is, more or less, straight from my sketchbook (colored in photoshop). Hopefully it's legible.

Cartoonist Safari

I'm not this creepy in real life...

But I do really, really want to meet other cartoonists :)

South African Penguins

They are freakin' cute when they waddle.

Humans Ruin Everything

Elephants are highly intelligent creatures -- just sayin'.

This cartoon was inspired by this YouTube video posted by "Kerrydunne1" of an elephant crashing their pool party. It is awesome. I watched it no less than 5 times in a day.

Eagle Helmet

Travel diary: I keep thinking about this guy - an African black eagle I saw with a wingspan of 6 ft. - wearing a helmet and tethered to a bird post.
