Al-Bondigas

Been drawing and making art since I was 4. Got into airbrush work in the 70's and also landed a job in an ad agency as a designer. I've had my own design studio since 1986 - primarily doing print design and illustration for advertising and promotions. Have done web, video, packaging, advertising and now... cartoons.

A few years ago I was so outraged at the local newspaper's cartoons and editorials that I sent in a cartoon of my own. They liked it and offered me a weekly spot on the opinion page.

I also expanded my cartooning to more mainstream humor when I began cartooning via MySpace comments to my favorite Los Angeles rock n roll DJ - Jim Ladd. My wife and I redesigned his MySpace page and he gave me a weekly spot on it for my 'toons. YOu can see it at:

Cartooning is not as lucrative as advertising design - but it's a lot more respectable and fun!
