I’ve been drawing window cleaning cartoons since 1999.  As time has passed, I have been able to improve my style.  I’ve gone from awful to not so bad and to just o.k.  I know, I have a log way to go, but something funny happened last week.  I got an e-mail from Jag, he owns Island Window Cleaning.  He wanted to use one of my cartoons for a logo on his van.  Well, that is not a new request.  Many of my cartoons are used throughout the window washing industry for logos, websites and even t-shirts.

Thinking, with out question, he MUST want to use one of my new cartoons.  Since they are the best art I’ve drawn EVER!  Well, to my surprise, he wanted to use a cartoon from 2001.  When he contacted me, I could not find the old high quality image file.  So, I suggested that I just draw him a caricature… NOPE, he really wanted that cartoon.  Here is what he says:

Hi Chato!
Yes, we really like that picture. I’ll attach the original picture
from your website to this email. The title is “Crouching Ladder/
Hidden squeege”. We really like the picture. If you can please
redraw just the picture as close as possible to the orginal–but,
please do not include the words.We just want the same picture.

I sat down the other day and drew a few samples of the cartoons… I was not happy with any of them till today.  So, I inked it and scanned the cartoons and colored it.  Below, you can see the finished image.  I just sent it to Jag.  I hope he likes it!  And I hope he can use it!

How much did it cost him for me to do this?  Well, I did not charge him a penny!  Instead, all I ask is that he pays me what ever he thinks it’s worth to him.  This goes for anyone that wants me to do a cartoon for them.  You can hire me to do your window cleaning project and if you like it any can donate towards my volunteer work educating people about mental health disorders.   You can also help by becoming a window cleaning sponsor for our site.  Please feel free to use this cartoon on your site or as clip art.

A few weeks ago Vic form Painfully Clear Window Cleaning asked if I could try and design him a logo.

I don’t normally do that since my talent and skill level isn’t as good as a Professional Logo Graphic designer… I’m just an cartoonist at best.   Still, I told him I would give it a shot.

So he e-mailed me what he wanted, “I want a logo with a bird sitting on his duff like he just ran into a window. Maybe some stars around his head. Possibly like the old Heckle and Jeckle characters.”

I did a little search to to get an idea of what the Heckle and Jeckle characters look like. Yes, I remember watching the cartoon as a boy but I still wanted a reference.  Next I now have to interpret what it would look like hitting a window at the same time making sure i don’t totally plagiarize the art work.  Well, the weeks window cleaning cartoon is what I came up with.

I thought it came out good… but Vic told me “That’s not quite it”, but he is going to run with it anyway.  Thanks Vic  I’m glad he can use it.

Do you want me to try and draw something for you?  Let me know, I don’t charge a fee but I do ask you to make a donation to my not-for-profit Mental Health Humor Project.  Also giving me a backlink is nice too.  Leave me a comment and I contact you.
