Publications
In recent years, my work has been published mainly on the internet, and has consisted of mostly caricatures.
In the past, however, I have published ongoing cartoon strips and occasional editorial cartoons in local newspapers such as the Northern Student (1977-81 and 1984-86), Bemidji Pioneer (1981-82 and 1989-92), and ByLine of Bemidji (1996). Also, a graphic short story was selected for publication in the spring 1980 issue of Loonfeather, a regional quarterly arts journal.
