In the Fall of 2007 ILLUSTRATION Magazine published an article I wrote titled - "Remembering Willard Mullin and the Lost Art of Sports Cartooning."
When I was a kid I wanted to be a Sports Cartoonist - a genre that doesn't even exist anymore. I drew Editorial Cartoons for my school paper The Sewanhaka Chieftain in Floral Park, NY, and won a number of Empire State Scholastic Press Awards for my work. You can find a few examples of my early cartoons on the Trivia Page.
My favorite cartoonist was Willard Mullin who drew for The New York World Telelgram. He was the best! Telegram Sports Writer Dan Daniel called his friend - The Rembrandt of Sports!
