Check out what's on Jeff Welborn's drawing board.
This is just one of those random doodles that popped up in my head I wanted to get down onto paper. An illustrated parable about how if we put our differences aside and work together we can all have cookies!
It was just supposed to be a rough sketch in my sketchbook but once I finished it I liked it and decided to see it through to completion.

What the heck? New Roofus comics? Yes, Roofus fans (all three of you), Roofus has returned. I've finally retweaked the Roofus site and it's up and running with fresh-from-the-oven comics. It's been a few years since I've written and drawn Roofus, but I have to say ... it's good to be back.

Being a graphic artist in Louisiana means 2 things: 1. You need to learn to draw crawfish and alligators. 2. Every February be prepared to do a LOT of Mardi Gras designs. Your retinas will be burned in shades of purple, green, and gold because you see them so much. I don't mind though, Mardi Gras is a fun time and lets you go wild with your designs.

I'm a huge Peanuts fan. As a kid, I watch ALL of the TV specials. ALL of them. Even "It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown." I recently had a thought. What if they never stopped making these specials? Sure, we still get an occasional new one. But what if they made them year after year after year? After 63 years, they would eventually get around to animating the mundane holidays. I love this concept and I plan on doing a whole series of these. Stay tuned.

Drawing Board member Jeff Welborn created this amazing illustration featuring Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot from Mystery Science Theater 3000. "Gizmovision" is a reference to the Gizmonic Institute which was a fictional mad scientist laboratory that was featured on the show. Jeff had this to say:
I'm not sure why I decided to do a poster of Tom Servo and Crow in an old Warner Brothers animation style. But I did!

You get an awesome jam comic by the Drawing Board crew. Panel one is drawn by Jeff Welborn. Panel two is by Jeremy Johnson. Panel three is by Travis Eck. Panel four also belongs to Jeff Welborn. Jeremy Johnson rounds out the jam with his final panel.
The Drawing Board crew meets about once a month and we discuss art, share techniques, plan public appearances. We also crank out a jam comic whenever we get the chance. It is a fun group activity which helps flex our creativity muscles.
The Drawing Board art collective consists of a group of designers pursuing their passion for illustration after hours. Sure, they love their day jobs as graphic designers, but they've also had a love for art in other forms since childhood – animation, painting, comics and more. Come see what is created once they've clocked out!
When he created his first comic strip at the age of 11-years-old, Brad embarked on his career as a part-time cartoonist and unwittingly unleashed a life-long obsession with the art of illustration. Currently, Brad is pursuing web publishing and nationally syndicating his latest comic strip creation, Roofus, which has been published in 20 Louisiana newspapers. He feels at home in his Bossier City abode which houses an unhealthy collection of toys and DVDs.

Travis has been drawing all his life and had to basically teach himself to draw, as there was no art program in his small-town Oklahoma school. That is largely what led to the choice of graphic design as his career. Finding time to create art is a tough task lately though, as his family of 3 becomes a family of four, but when time allows Travis still likes to sketch in his sketchbook, bust out a painting, or draw the occasional comic book.
