Headline? I don't need no frickin' headline!

About Me

You've seen my cartoons and humor in many motorcycle, girly and mainstream magazines for decades. I'm published in books, ads, and on websites. My cartoons (signed SR) are in the National Lampoon books, "Favorite Cartoons of the 21st Century", and "Not Fit For Print"; and in the limited-edition tribute book to Woody Guthrie, called "This Toon is Your Toon" (Smithsonian Institute collection). I'm always developing my webstore and have recently returned to freelancing with renewed vigor.

Shop my large selection of t-shirts, mugs, ball caps, stickers, greeting cards, and more. Humor, hobbies, sports, animals, politics, lifestyles...it's all at Steamy's Surf Shack at htttp://www.Cafepress.com/Surfshack. The logos to my store sections are in the slideshow below, along with a few of my designs. Visit http://www.CartoonStock.com and search for my name under "Hire An Artist", then "Contemporary Style" to see many examples of my work and and more services and merchandise for sale. You may also wish to have a bit of fun by checking out My Pics here at this Myspace site. Serious art and writing inquiries are welcome. :)



My Interests

Specificity. (music, spicy food, cold drinks, good conversation, business, science, travel, cars and trucks and motorcycles, wild things, the beach, the desert, mountains, wind, storms, quality tattoos, physical conditioning, martial arts, target shooting, horseback riding, dancing, shooting pool, analytical thinking, learning something every day...)

I'd like to meet:

Creative types and achievers. People who are interesting and genuine. People with a keen sense of humor and high intelligence. People who have an appreciation for the arts, nature, and the rights of others.Warning: I have a deletion fetish. I erase people from my friends pages who are pushy, deceptive, or rude.

Music:

What? I can't hear you! I've got the stereo turned way up! I like Rock, Blues, Industrial, and Electronica. I'm open to other genres. I only listen to what I consider the "best of the best".

Movies:

Are better than stills. Imagine staring at a photo for 2 hours.

Television:

Minimal. I don't have much time for tv these days. I'll watch news, special programming or comedies when I take a break for lunch or dinner. My tastes: Orange County Choppers, Monster Garage, Malcolm In The Middle, South Park, Bernie Mac, The Beverly Hillbillies, I Dream of Genie, first series Star Trek, Kung Fu, Along Came Bronson, original Twilight Zone, The Rifleman, Branded, The Rebel, Wanted:Dead or Alive, some SNL, some MAD TV, original Outer Limits, Combat, Diver Dan, Fawlty Towers, Addams Family, Barney Miller, Cheers, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Get Smart, Frazer, Scrubs, Ugly Betty, My Boys, Nip/Tuck, Boston Legal, Gilmore Girls, Batman, Gilligan's Island, The Rockford Files, Palladin, My Favorite Martian, Dobey Gillis, F Troop, Maverick, Baretta, Monk, Seinfeld, 3rd Rock From The Sun.

They have them next to Starbucks. (George Orwell, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Robert E. Howard, Frank Herbert, Robert A. Heinlein, H. G. Wells, Mary Shelley, Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie, biographies, military strategy, psychology, self improvement, religions, mysticsm, mythology, philosophy, archeology, anthropology, architecture, mechanics, physics. Adult comics like: Astro City, Kingdom Come, and Green Arrow.)

Heroes:

Myself. (If I were to pick one it might be Steve McQueen. He was an innovator, brave, inquisitve, athletic, a fighter, a loyal friend, and had a great sense of humor.)

You Are Cyclops
Dedicated and responsible, you will always remain loyal to your cause.
You are a commanding leader - after all, you can kill someone just by looking at them.

Power: force beams from your eyes Which of the X-Men Are You?
