The idea for this cartoon came from a story by Maria Schmitt in the Wednesday, July 16th Times-Call. Actually, as an artist I think the artistic crosswalks are a pretty cool idea. I just want to know if the artwork will actually stop traffic. Published in the July 27, 2008 Times-Call Thanks for reading!

The idea for this cartoon came from a story by Rachel Carter in the Wednesday, July 16th Times-Call. Am I the only one who thinks this is a bad idea. It seems dangerous, not to mention a delay for commuters trying to get to work. In fact, this morning I was involved in the traffic jam created by the survey. I was shocked to see young (10-16 year olds) running inbetween cars during rush hour just to ask some questions. I hope nobody is injured during this process.

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.
