For unto Us a Child is born, unto Us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9: 6

Help soften the blow of  your carbon footprint by spreading some good news this holiday season: from his snazzy new threads to his eco-friendly corn-2- ethanol powered flying reindeer, Santa Claus is going green! This outdoorsie Saint Nick holiday clip art has received by far the most web traffic on my site. I hope you enjoy the update.

This toon gal has got on her patriotic freak on; doing her best to stimulate the economy of Main Street, America, back to ship shape this holiday season. Web trends showed this clip art character to be one of my most popular, so I have created her in a new design for 2008.

THIS POSTING HAS BEEN REMOVED. COPIES ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

I would like to thank all the folks who participated in my pre-election exchange of ideas forum. I had lots of emails sent directly to me and I really enjoyed your input. I’m only sorry most folks were too shy to post. I understand why: I’ve been on those blogs that snark at you because you don’t see eye to eye with the moderator. Blog dialogs should be exciting; spirited debate free from intimidation or cyber bullying. Open exchange is what makes the impacting power of the internet so great… sorta like democracy…

I’ve removed this lengthy post comparing the campaign battle cries, seeing how our grand process of democracy is now over. A good man won, a good man lost. I hope our country continues to equally support both.

Until 2012..

Coral reef health is a top priority on our good officer’s ‘to do’ list. Getting little minds excited with cartoony observations is a top priority of mine.

During my sparser minutes, I rafted one of those ‘do it yourselfer‘ books and wadded into Adobe Flash CS3 animation waters. As a revelation for future reference, my name and the phrase ’self instruction’ should never partner the same thought. After many a cursed words and disappearance of a few otherwise valuable afternoons, here is my first schooling. Themed after an inspiring ‘08 NCS Reubens in New Orleans, my characters, Dots and Dimples, enjoy their nine seconded loop of internet fame. Dimples blows a foot tapping tune to the point he squints as he toots and Dots keeps time with a hip swivel and a flip of her Mardi Gras beads. Click the link below to see the brief yet lively event. Flash Player 9 will be required.*(A warning for you dial up folks… there is one heck of a hang time, almost a full minute with no progress bar to keep you entertained.)http://aesabo.com/doodlewerx/Obviously, I’ll not leave my day gig to flash animate, but I’ve got to admit, I could aspire to create this kind of silliness twenty four-seven….
