A Drew Litton Calendar is Coming
We’ve begun production on the first ever Drew Litton wall calendars. My wife, Marcia, is helping input the events and I’m working on choosing the images. We’re doing a super cool calendar with dates for all of the major sports events of 2010 plus cartoons for every month. We weren’t able to get the daily desk calendars done. I just don’t have the financial resources right now to make that happen. This calendar is really an experiment. If it goes well then we will start to do a lot more merchandise in 2010 including a new book. So you can help me out by telling all your friends about the Drew Litton calendar (not to mention this blog). The more people who know about it the better. I’m also exploring doing a few Christmas Craft shows but I’m not sure about that yet. If any one has any ideas about that, I’m all ears. If there is any other merchandise you would like to see made available for this Holiday season feel free to let me know. You might remember a poll we ran back in September. It was a big help.

Here, by special request, is my Salute to Super Joe Sakic. Joe, it’s been an honor to draw you, Sir. And thanks to all the readers who encouraged me to draw this. It needed to be done.

Today I’m on Andrew Hudson’s Jobs List site with a special cartoon created just for his site. It will be about job hunting and should be great fun. Andrew also did a really nice write-up about me as well. Thanks, Andrew! Andrew Hudson was the former Press Secretary to Denver Mayor Wellington Webb, and one heck of a jazz musician. If your are in the job market, there simply is no better site than Andrew’s. See it by clicking on http://andrewhudsonsjobslist.com

Sakic was special
Here’s my favorite cartoon featuring Joe Sakic, done right after the Avalanche won their first Stanley Cup. I love the fact that it contains both Sakic and Elway.
There aren’t many guys like Joe Sakic. He was, and is, class personified. Colorado will miss him. I invite all of you to share your favorite Joe Sakic memory here.
Prints of this Sakic-Elway cartoon are now available for purchase for $25 each which includes shipping and handling. Every 8×10 full color print is perfect for framing and is sent to you in a cardboard photo mailer. Just go to the Paypal donate button above and follow the directions to make your payment.

I usually work today for tomorrow, which does really strange things to your central nervous system. Deadlines are tight. The closer you get to it the faster and louder the heart pounds. The secret is quieting the sucker long enough to get an idea to seep through. This cartoon was drawn right after the Colorado Avalanche captured its first Stanley Cup and a year before John Elway would hoist his first Lombardi Trophy. I had the idea a few weeks before the Avalanche clinched the championship which absolutely NEVER happens. I could hardly wait to draw it for publication. One of the prints hangs on Joe Sakic’s wall. It’s drawn in pen and ink and then watercolored.
