RR Anderson says, “Extending the deadline is a good idea.”

In these times of economic hardship, it is hard to believe that starving art students are unwilling to fill out a form in the hopes of getting free cash. The CLAW has received no scholarship submissions to date. And attributes this not the complete lethargy of today’s youth, but rather on the fact that the word has not yet gone out that mulla is available. Students seeking to widen their knowledge of the mystical way of cartoons via recognized structures of formal learning may now rejoice in the knowledge that the CLAW Student Scholarship has been extended another 30 days to April 15th 2009. Please forward this link http://www.cartoonistsleague.org/scholarship to those young innocent faces who will be the sequential art leaders of tomorrow.

Interior Panel One

The Talons of the CLAW are busy working on a number of clandestine projects. Here is a sneak peak of just one element of a much larger project.

Zombies have also crept into a few of my other projects.
