Random "curiosities" in THE CARTOON SALOON

The New Rankin Umbrella


...here's one from my good friend, Mel Lothrop, professional caricature artist from San Antonio, Texas ...
...let's just say I had a big hat.

... one drawn by my Son, David


...this is one my Son, David drew of me when he was about 8 or 9.

This was a caricature that a medical doctor, R. Rangel M.D. from Monterrey, Mexico drew of me while I was doing his caricature at a party.

WINDMILL


A Windmill I did in 1976, I was 12 years old ...
Couldn't afford art lessons so I mowed a acre yard for the art teacher, Ezell Lackey, in trade for a 2 hour art lesson every week.
When she died her son turned her studio into a bar.

DRAW


This reminds me of character in a Marty Robbins' song ...
The Arizona Ranger ... with the big iron on his hip

Basic Cowboy Art


Did this during the SAN ANGELO Fiesta Roping in 2001...
Got tired of a bunch of broke cowboys always telling me they couldn't afford to buy my cartoons.
