Ironically, U2oons are partly to blame for my failed promise. I’ve long learned that I can draw one nice thing a week. When I signed on for U2oons I had plenty of time for this, and for the first couple of months it worked out pretty well.

Then something unexpected happened. Folks — who partly found out about me through U2oons — began asking me to draw them things. Very flattering! I was invited to part of an exhibit at the Fairbanks Art Museum, and — whoosh! — there went five cartoons! And then the trade publication where I work, Hydro Geek, asked for some cartoons, and — whoosh! — there went four cartoons! The I had a crush on a girl and — whamo! — there went 10 pictures! Then my seal biologist friend asked me to illustrate his presentation — whoosh! — four pictures, and finally, I was asked to draw something commemorating my ship’s 2007 field season — and BAMO! — another big picture!

So please know that my skimping out on U2oons is not from a lack of drawing. To the contrary, I’ve been drawing more than I should! And it is to U2oons that I am very thankful.

With that said, this posting of U2oons | Bono’s brain is a repeat from the series I drew back in 2005 for the ‘You draw Achtoon Baby contest.’ I was told it was funny back then, and I hope it’s still funny now.

The next U2oon, however, will be a fresh one.

For those who are curious, here’s a couple examples of where my time went in the recent months when not drawing a U2oon:
