Greetings,
Here's bit about myself. I live and grew up in the Northwest ...around Portland Oregon. Actually, I've lived in Vancouver Washington since the early 70's and consider myself a dyed in the wool Washingtonian.. After a good run of 30 years in the electronics industry, mostly in sales, in 2002 and at 56 years of age i found myself without a job. Some Chinese dude was estatic to take over my responsibilities. I figured I was going to have to re-invent myself as the electronics business is a young man's business if you're starting out with a new company. Lucky for me a certain big box warehouse store decided they needed someone to council their customers in their purchase of electronics items...such as TV's, computers, and cameras. Something of which I knew about. Honestly, retail was never my cup of tea but hey, I'm a practical guy...paying the bills was a very powerful offsetting factor. Darned if after awhile I began to really enjoy this new gig and after 8 years with a great company I'm still at it...and documenting it with cartoons.
Cartooning has been with me my entire life. I have cartoons I've drawn in the third grade. Cartooning to me has been a perfect way to express lifes little everyday absurdities. Over the years I've drawn thousands. My Dad was actually the one who got me started in this. It's all his fault. I draw no responsibility here. He drew whenever the whim hit him. A letter, birthday card, as a joke...it was always appreciated and fun. I was hooked at a tender age.
My favorite cartoonist of all time was Gary Larsen. I love his humor and his simplistic style of his drawing. If you see alittle bit of him in my drawings I can't help it. We both come with the same sick mind. The reason for the website is simply to get my cartoons out there. I hope you see yourself in some of these cartoons and get a laugh.
Regards,
Craig Morris
