SMUDGE is this Saturday! March 8th, from 12 noon to 6pm at Artisphere! Believe it or not... when I was a kid I drew comics of creatures I called Smudges. ( Click here  for an interview in which I speak more about that.) I'm looking forward to participating in the SMUDGE comic expo this Saturday. I'll have some of my vintage comics with me as well as my most recent cartoon paintings! For all the details,  click here ! And, here's other arty events you can see my offbeat artwork at...

( Click here for details .) In addition to art exhibits and a bunch of freelance projects I have also put my house on the market and it has a pending contract so it looks like Auger Artwork Studios will be moving this year! With all this excitement and running around it's nice to sometimes take a break.  I don't often drink beer, but when I do I enjoy a nice Amber from Dungeness Brewing Company . One of my clients, Mic Sager, was nice enough to send me some sample product of his tasty microbrew. The label features my illustration of a dungeness crab bench-pressing a keg.  Cheers!
