It's the year 2025, and far beyond I am sure the time appropriate that I gave my many editors to have an exclusive on my material created and donated during the aughts and the teens. I am posting selected cartoons and stories that once appeared in APA magazines, con books and programs.

I'm finally getting around to posting past drawings of Tai-Pan characters, and this time around, the focus is again on the female polar bear engineer for the merchant ship Tai-Pan, J.T. Thalarctos. These drawings were done with fursona owner Andrew Laverdiere's character approval. This one appeared as an illustration for another Tai-Pan writer.

I'd drawn her angry about some shady goings-on among the Tai-Pan crew. As no one need guess, she is a former Marine. Her character owner Andrew thought my result was quite a bit too severe, and requested that I lighten her up a bit to match her tough yet more fun-loving personality. The result is this illustration of JT sneering and working on her cigar like Smokey Stover.

These are not my characters. I was writing and drawing for Gene Breshears' magazine, and thought I should show a few more of the images that I illustrated here. These were done for another author and they appeared in Tales of the Tai-Pan Universe APA.

Thanks for reading and go make your own art and stories happen!
