Che' posing with CAI art-I did the lettering-and adding the bling ring to the cowgirl hand to say thanks to our sponsor, John Attencio (phenomenal jeweler-and yes I'm sucking up here-- because I used to have one of those JA rings...but oh, that's another story.)

In Honor of Those Who Have Passed...
You just never know who is going to touch your life. It may be a best friend, a work colleague, or a person known only briefly.  But to have known that person, may make you a better one.
In loving memory of a wonderful cartoonist and human being: Dan Gibson.


Dan Gibson gets his own caricature on the Denver Press Club walls, after creating a third of the infamous wall for others (and having served as president and longtime member.)

World Adventurer, Aviator, Record-setter and Entrepreneur Steve Fossett

(After a large scale search, it is not known of his whereabouts after his plane went missing in Nevada in September of 2007.)

 

 

Heaven has a Furry Angel...
My sweetie girl Aspen, border collie mix and pound puppy of 11 years passed away at home with me on 1/26/08. She is deeply loved and missed. Hopefully, she is running and playing off leash, with no fences and all the squeaky toys and treats she can possibly enjoy. Her wings are well earned.

 

Braveheart-(white pooch on the right) my mom's gorgeous stoic, and eventually playful (only with us), wolf-blend dog; rescued from abuse to a ranch, to her home, and of course into our hearts. He left us Friday July 11th to be in a place to walk and play without the restrictions of an ailing body. Bless his Brave Heart!
(my little guy Boca on the left liked to sneak scoot in to share Brave's blanket during his visits).

In 2008 we lost Jean Tool, long time member, friend and caricaturist for the Denver Press Club-a wonderful, generous, kind soul who was also a WWII veteran. Artist known for his elegant Christmas cards, illustrator, and fellow cartoonist. photo by John Wren

Still wet (i.e., looks longer)12" inches came off--for me this is extremely SHORT hair...and I totally forgot we had our one and only set of full family pics with a pro photog that Christmas...and no one noticed! (I was shreaking on the inside)
