This design was based on a request to deliver a unique design for the 2019 Run With The Wolf motorcycle rally by Kawasaki Concours enthusiasts. I came up with this idea of using a wheel with past design images laid in between the spokes. The title and 25th anniversary were placed on the tire to look like raised letters. Finally, the Concours Owners Group logo was placed in the center.
Remember when you could setup your glider in five minutes or less?
Opportunity. Very little news on this amazing rover that was designed to last only three months. Here we are fifteen years later. R.I.P.
My newest t-shirt design. VIKING – In the way olden days, sometime between pterodactyls and Otto Lilienthal, there was a time when the sky was ruled by flying Norsemen wielding battle axes and drinking huge quantities of ale, and telling stories about flying across the oceans to conquer distant lands.
But then came the day, a jealous Odin took revenge and smited away the fair skies, thermals, and other means of Viking recreation. Over time, they had forgotten the ancient ways, and missing the recreational activities that made them so famous, designed and built lumbering sailing ships and were forced to sail in dangerous waters to those distant lands.
Now, if you are lucky, you can find a small population of descendants reliving the ancient ways, flying hang gliders across Scandinavian islands, in search of more Viking recreation. The symbols below the glider are the Rune Long Branch symbols for “Viking”.
Floki would be proud.
You can find the shirt at my store.
Christmas on a Concours. To my motorcycle friends, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Keep the rubber side down and safe driving.
One of my favorite charities is the Cloudbase Foundation. The Cloudbase Foundation is a non-profit organization of hang glider and paraglider pilots formed to assist children in the United States and around the world where ever we fly. My latest t-shirt design helps support those efforts. This design was done for the Rainbow Room in Big Spring, Texas along with the 2018 Big Spring Nationals, a big hang gliding event. See the Oz Report for more information. If you are unable to attend the event to get a shirt, you can purchase a copy from my store. Thanks!

The collection contains single panel strips and full page cartoons.The book is available from Amazon, or if you buy it from me directly, you will pay slightly more, but I will autograph the book for you.
It’s a simple formula; cow + rice burner = Cowasaki. If pigs can fly, then cows can ride. I’ve seen a few of these type cartoons on the Internet and didn’t like any of them, so I came up with my own version.
I ride a Kawasaki Concours C14. Wonderful bike and way more power than I will ever need. It just flys down the open slab. I’m not sure which I like better, hang gliding or motorcycling. Each has it’s own rewards and dangers. Each requires great skill and prescense of mind to stay alive. It’s all good.
Cool Stuff with this cartoon Image | The Cowasaki cartoon COLLECTION
Now that winter has passed, we have a new road hazard. Prairie dogs. Each summer, the road becomes littered with wandering prairie dogs. They have absolutely no fear of moving vehicles. They will either run into the path of a vehicle or just stand there and let themselves be flattened without even flinching. If you try and dodge these critters, you could end up in a wreck from trying to swerve. It’s best to just keep moving and try not to think about it. 
By swapping out the winter snow plow for the summer prairie dog plow, WYDOT hopes to keep the carnage to a minimum. You can help by slowing down. Watch for wildlife. Be safe and be aware. Safe driving to all.
No prairie dogs were harmed in the production of this cartoon.
