Church Cartoons for St. Thomas Episcopal Church

A few years ago, I started attending St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Sunnyvale, California. It’s been a fun time attending the church, and it’s been a safe environment for me to figure out what I still believe about my Christian faith without any sort of pressure or hassles from other people. The people at St. Thomas have been very kind and I’ve appreciated the insightful sermons and have used the church library extensively to read about the Episcopal Church and alternate views on Christianity. The pastor of the church has been kind enough to allow me to do artwork for the Sunday bulletin. I’ve occassionally published these cartoons on Everyday Citizen, and it has given me the opportunity to read the Sunday passages early and to mull it over for a week. Here are my church cartoons for Everyday Citizen.

Cartoons for the Tri-City Voice October to December 2009

On April 9, 2008, I began to do cartoons for the Tri-City Voice, a newspaper that covers the Milpitas, Fremont, and Union City areas in the San Francisco Bay Area. It’s been a dream come true for me to be a published cartoonist and I’ve really enjoyed thinking up of cartoons each week. Most of my cartoons are political cartoons, but I occassionally do cartoons of the local Bay Area scene and cartoons for the holidays.

The months of October through December 2009 were dominated by the continued debates on health care reform. The greatest point of contention between liberal Democrats and the Blue Dog Democrats and Republicans has been the inclusion of a public option that the government would provide for all Americans. The Democrats continued to negotiate among themselves, as the Republicans, with few exceptions like Olympia Snowe, refused to take part in the negotiations. Shopping season started in the fall, with retailers hoping to make some money after months of recession. Unemployment continued to rise.
