30 Characters 2013 #1- Jasper Asteroid

There is a certain neighborhood that finds itself often menaced by a certain stray cat who sort of looks like a pirate. When said stray cat continues to get the better of local animal control, the situation captures the notice of Jasper Asteroid. Jasper is a cat behaviorist by day, rock band french horn player by night, and happens to have his own TV show about dealing with unruly cats.
     Will Jasper be able to sort out CatBeard's issues, or will he have finally met his match?

Green Brain Comics in Dearborn, MI is, as usual, going all out on Free Comic Book Day. There will be a slew of talented artists (and me, for some reason) on hand to sell comics, draw pictures, chit chat about comics and generally kick up a ruckus!
 Gearing up for the big day, Green Brain is holding a t-shirt design contest. Several designs will be chosen for display in their Headspace Gallery, while one design will be selected for use as the OFFICIAL Green Brain Comics Free Comic Book Day 2013 t-shirt. CatBeard will be showing some enthusiasm as my entry into the contest this year.

CatBeard: McPlunder 02

Last time, Sammy and Dad’s new walkie-talkies were nowhere to be found. Looks like they’ve been purr-loined by that scourge of the suburbs, CatBeard and his first mate Durdee Rat! Now said radios are being used for a nefarious dinner interception.

A Very CatBeard Xmas!

Merry Christmas, CatBeard!

I was watching Hanna Barbera's "The Impossibles" and drew these.

I'm soaking in some Hanna-Barbera inspiration this evening, drawing some faces and expressions from 'The Impossibles' and gave CatBeard, Science Girl, and Blue Beaver a whirl in HB form.

Heee-YAH!

The Ninja Strike!

Huge props to Stan Sakai who clearly inspired this image.
