I have doodled and cartooned since I could pick up a pencil. I've worked on sequential strips, graphic novels, single panel gags and satire. For most of my work I start with the basic sketch and work it up from there. I've done completely computer orientated stuff as well. Caricatures are all part of the process. A successful cartoonist can produce a piece on the spur of the moment in order to capture the moment, headline or scandel.
