This cartoon is on a new direct mail piece/post card going out to area physicians. I've also worked up a gray scale version for a puzzle book that is being distributed at health fairs. We've also ordered some jar openers with a black and white version of this cartoon to give out.
I've been using cartoons as a marketing tool for Occupational Therapy of Gadsden, LLC since we first started. I thought this piece turned out well. I know that not everyone out there who doesn't know what lymphedema is will get the cartoon.
This is a pen & ink of LTC Steve Russell (Ret) who is to be the keynote speaker at the Etowah County Republican Party's 2009 Dinner & Fundraiser. Steve Russell and his unit's efforts were chronicled in Discovery's "Ace in the Hole" and BBC Panorama's "Saddam on the Run" documentaries. Steve is highly decorated, the Chairman and Founder of Vets for Victory, and the subject of many books. He's also a committed Christian, Sunday school teacher, as well as an articulate defender of conservative principles. I look forward to hearing him speak. I rendered this illustration a few hours ago. It is to grace the pages of some area publications. I am still in the process of working on the actual Ad.
