Welcome to the publicity section of Smarty Cartoons. You will find samples of how I market my work and you will get to view some friends I've met along the way in promotion of my work as a cartoonist.

I have been featured twice on KRGV-TV Channel 5, the Rio Grande Valley's ABC affiliate, by Bianca Balogh and Evelyn Castellano in 2001 and 2002, respectively.

In 2001, I was also featured on the Davis Rankin Show on KURV 710 AM Talk Radio.

Among my various newspaper features, the article that appeared in The Monitor (and introduced my political cartoons to south Texas as the "eyes and ears" of the valley) can be found online here.

I enjoy sharing my work and hope everyone supports the fine arts. Be creative, be a critic, be an artist! Seize the day with art! Support your local artists!

My work as an artist, painter, and cartoonist has traditionally featured modeling talent in the artwork. To view some of the talent featured in my work, click on the following link... Featured Models
