Tom's Adventures



TigerToons

Artist, Cartoonist & Illustrator / August 1997

TigerToons is a way for me to combine my love for my alma mater, Louisiana State University, with my love for creating art. Add to that my sense of humor and desire to share my joy for life, and we get TigerToons. The cartoons are my unique way of reporting on LSU Sports and editorializing about what I experience. I am very lucky to do the things I love. TigerToons got started in a big way in 1997, though I have been drawing and painting LSU Sports stuff since the early 1970s.

Originally, I created cartoons to decorate our family's motor home for tailgating. The next step was creating toons that could be faxed to friends and family as a way to share my love of the Tigers. Eventually, TigerToons needed to take advantage of the Internet's possibilities. So in August 1997, TigerToons made its appearance on the World Wide Web.
