This is a marker drawing I did the same day as the Garfield vs. Sans drawing. My student, Shivani, requested one with Papyrus added. I'm calling these the "Student Request Series". If I draw the request, the student gets the original.
Thanks to my students, I'm now on Twitter!!! Thanks to everyone for the overwhelming response to this drawing on Instagram. And, of course, thanks to Toby Fox!
This is the finished version...finally. This will go to Annie, who has now graduated. Thanks to my second-year students, Michel and Olivia, for the "onion ring" idea. This is marker on 14x17 Bristol board.

This time instead of a student request, I asked vailskibum to make a request as a thank you for a pair of really nice videos they posted on Youtube about my Student Request Series. More student requests soon.
This request came from former student, Ringling alumni and friend, Lesle Kieu,
@leslekieuart
. They made this request for their friend, Lou,

, who is a fan of Parappa the Rapper and Garfield. I've also started the next request and it has some "glam" in it!
I have received many requests for Garfield vs. Heathcliff. I did a quick marker sketch of such a request at a comic shop appearance near Orlando in 2021. I do not have a scan, but here is a pic of it.

Just finished this sketch for former student, Tides, who wanted it for a friend, Emma, a big Garfield fan. The theme...Goth. I didn't realize Goth was still a thing. Odie now reminds me of Edward Scissorhands.

Just finished this request for Mr. Kitty from my student, Sophie. This was difficult due the styles being so drastically different. 11x14 marker.

I was recently asked when Garfield would meet the Mutant Ninja Turtles. They did meet in 1991 in the Garfield and Turtles magazine. Written by Jim Davis, my pencils, everything but the Turtles inked by Larry Fentz and the Turtles inked by Peter Laird, the Turtles co-creator.
I designed a retractable banner to take to upcoming cons and store appearances. I should have the product by the 28th. I wanted something not too serious and fun, but I may also create another one with more of a super-hero design.

Scheduled to be released on May the 24th. Some people I know who have worked/working on it are Bob Scott (A LOT), Brett Koth and Glenn Zimmerman. I think this is going to be really fun.

Actually, that would have to be up to Garfield creator, Jim Davis. I have just had the honor and pleasure to be an artist for him all these many years.

These days, primarily Copics, but they are expensive. I also use some Prismacolor. For the black lines, Microns and Faber Castell. Micron now has a size
#12
tip which is great for heavier lines.
Andrew Stonecypher, who graduated 5 years ago has been working since then as an artist at Universal in Orlando. He is doing great work and it was really special that he came back to campus and talked to the students. Plus, he gave me a signed poster that he did.
Thanks, Andrew!!!
After classes, I usually wait till after rush hour to head home. Anyone who has lived in Florida understands. So, I was able to get the coloring finished on this.

@SSJGarfield
From Holland? I was in Demark for a comic convention a few years ago and had a wonderful time. Sorry, at the moment I have no spare time, but I hope to be able to take some commissions this summer
@realquaker47
Because I'm really busy and fit these in when I can. I'm grateful to be so busy. These drawings are more for the fun of it. And something I think my students appreciate.
