Feelin' Patriotic

This sketch was inspired as an appeal during the "One Last Time, One Night Live" tour - 'cuz Barry and crew have skipped this general territory - EVEN Minneapolis during the last couple tours. Seems to fit the 4th of July theme.

Different kind of sketch

Maybe it's because I'm in a post party funk (I planned an art alumni/retirement party for one of my favorite teachers and now it's over after months and months of looking forward to it, planning, etc.) - but I thought about how seldom you see a picture of Barry in a down or sad mood. I've never cartooned him as such ... but this came out in a doodle today.

It kind of looks like early/mid 1980's Barry. Sketching that big 80's hair is always fun!

Happy Birthday Barry!!!!

Way, way back in the 80's, I had these dreams/nightmares that I'd run into Barry and want to draw a cartoon for him, but as he's patiently waiting and I'm trying to whip one out - I'd always flub up.

Decades later - I'm running with this in video form and in hopes to prevent any nightmares like that and am putting it to music. There are two versions - one is is short and sweet and under a minute - the other not much longer and involved a few more people.

Here's the 45 Second Video:



Here's the Slightly less than 2 Minute video effort of trying to coax online people into sending audio and wishing Barry a Happy Birthday. :-) We've got a couple brave souls!!!
