A Holiday Cover

A cover illustration I did for the Denver Daily News.
It's for a holiday Guide.

American Idol in Denver!

Can you believe the hype? So many people want to be the next big star. Are they really prepared for what it really is like? I originally thought of this gag with a single person alone downtown, but after sketching out the buildings, I thought it would be silly if the buildings missed all the people.

Thanks for reading.

Biohavens on Smith Lake

This is so cool. I hope their plan works for cleaning up the algae. In the mean time I thought it would be funny to see things through some birds point of view.
Til next time, Sam If you are reading my cartoons in a paper, let the editor know. Yes, even if you think I'm bad.

OK, I need your help. If you are reading these cartoons in the Times-Call in Longmont and appreciate the focus on the local issues, PLEASE let the editor know. John Vahlenkamp 303-684-5239, or Call the TC Line 720-494-5485. You can even send an email to opinion@times-call.com or express your opinion on a Time-Call Survey. http://www.lehmanfyi.com/timescall/survey/. Bottom line is... I enjoy doing cartoons for Longmont and northern Colorado and would love to continue to do so. Thanks for your help, Sam Wallace



OK, this cartoon took some time. I was asked to come up with this cartoon depicting the mass chaos and confusion from moving Obama's speech over to Invesco Field. Needless to say, I didn't quite get the joke. But through countless drawing attempts and numerous re-writes I finally got what the editor was looking for. Thanks to the Times-Call editors for being patient with me.
