I've been painting fine-art cartoon paintings since 1977, the year I discovered the paintings of famous Disney comic-book artist Carl Barks. I've written a book on Carl's non-Disney paintings: Carl Barks: Paintings and Drawings 1965-1971; and a book on the craft I learned directly from Barks in the 1980s: After Carl Barks: Painting Fine-Art Cartoons in Oils.
