Steve Cartwright says: It's well known that an artist becomes more popular by dying, so I'm typing this with one hand while pummeling my head with a frozen mackerel with the other. I've done art for several magazines, newspapers, websites, commercial and governmental clients, books, and scribbling - but mostly drooling - on tavern napkins. I also create art pro bono for several animal rescue groups. I was awarded the 2004 James Award for my cover art for Champagne Shivers. I recently illustrated the Cimarron Review and  Stories  for  Children  covers. Take a gander ( or a goose ) at my online gallery: www.angelfire.com/sc2/cartoonsbycartwright .   And please hurry with your response - this mackerel's killin' me!
