MY
DEMENTED WIT AND WHIMSY
IS A SPIRITUAL GIFT THAT I HAVE COME TO CHERISH.
IT IS A TRUE CALLING TO FULFILL MY DREAMS
AND TO INSPIRE THE DREAM IN OTHERS.
BEING A GAY MAN IN MY FIFTIES,
I KNOW THE SOCIAL INJUSTICE OF PREJUDICE AND INHUMANITY FIRST HAND.
IT HAS BEEN MY SENSE OF HUMOR THAT HAS SAVED MY LIFE
ON MORE THAN ONE COLORFUL OCCASSION.
MY CARTOONS KEEP ME SANE IN AN INSANE WORLD.
MANY TIMES AS THE HEADLINES COME OUT OF WASHINGTON
. ....I SAY TO MYSELF.....
"I FEEL A TOON COMIN' ON!!!"
AS MY CARTOONS EVOLVED OVER THE YEARS THEY WERE DEVELOPING
MUCH LESS A GAY FOCUS AND MORE OF A POLITICAL EDGE.
IT WASN'T UNTIL THIS CURRENT ADMINISTRATION OF
LIES, MURDER AND DEVASTATION
THAT CALLED ME TO
MOVE FROM THE GAY HUMORIST
TO FULL-ON POLITICAL CARTOON ACTIVISM;
WITHOUT LOSING MY FESTIVE-EDGE AND FEATHERED BOA
OF COURSE!
AS A CARTOON ACTIVIST!
I HAVE LEARNED TO HUMOROUSLY ALCHEMIZES MY OUTRAGE
INTO CREATIVE FUEL VIA MY DUCK-TOONS
WITH THE HOPE AND INTENTION
THAT THERE WILL COME A DAY SOON WHEN
INHUMANITY, HYPOCRISY AND UNDERSTANDING
PAVES THE WAY TO HUMANITY, INTEGRITY AND UNDERSTANDING.
UNTIL THAT DAY COMES
AND BUSH IS OUT OF OFFICE AND WE GET OUR COUNTRY BACK
I'LL KEEP TOONING FORWARD.
FOR IT IS WITH LAUGHTER, MAGIC AND IMAGINATION
THAT WE ALL STAY ARTFULLY ALIVE!!!
THAT IS MY PASSION AND PURPOSE IN LIFE, ART AND POLITIC!!!
AND AS BUSH CONTINUES ON
AS BUSH DOES
.....YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON THE FACT THAT .....
DUCKFEATHERS WILL FLY!!!
