This last month I was hired to do a cartoon for Wells Fargo.  The topic was deflation and so here is the rough sketch side by side with the final that went into the newsletter.   This campaign got a great response and they will be looking to do more next month.

Every quarter I do a custom cartoon for Buchalter Nemer.  A law firm based out of Los Angeles who have offices in San Francisco and Scottsdale Arizona.  This quarter I was asked to do a cartoon about solar power.  This is a great topic since there are many things happening in the field of solar power that a law firm like Buchalter Nemer can help them with.  In a up and coming industry like solar power new inventions and businesses are created so that got me thinking about new inventions that we might see or already see.  For example how to heat a public swimming pool.  Well heating a public swimming pool is not funny, but heating a bird bath is funnier, but what if it were the birds that thought to use solar power to heat the bird bath.

I almost ruined this joke by having a plug in cord leading from the machine which would defeat the purpose of solar power.

I’ve been doing custom cartoons for Cartridge World for several years now. Every month they give me a topic that they want to promote and I then come up with a couple ideas that they get to choose from. Many of the ideas are around office type humor, or geared around saving time, money, and the environment. I’ve enjoyed working for them because they have a good product, a good message, and its fun.

Here is the latest Rackafracka to be in the newsletter for Cartridge World. We actually had another idea almost ready for ink, but then I thought of this idea of a big piggy bank and both the client and myself changed gears and went with the last minute idea. Maybe I’ll do a follow up cartoon for Cartridge world about a guy “bringing home the bacon” as it were with the money he saved using Cartridge World.
