I was severely bummed when the sawdust in my workshop finally killed my old tape deck. The wife got me an mp3 player and it took me almost a year to figure out how to use the dang thing. I'm still not doing it right, but at least it plays music.
My son found one of my cassettes and said, "Hey dad! An antique! You think Pawn Stars would buy this?" I am sure those folks would enjoy my Merle Haggards greatest hits, but I prefer to keep it.
A cartoonist and painter living in Richmond, Virginia, Gary Brookins draws the cartoon panel "Pluggers" for Tribune Media Services. The feature appears in 75 newspapers nationwide, including the Boston Globe, Dallas Morning News, Denver Post, St. Paul Pioneer-Press, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, The Tennessean (Nashville) and Richmond Times-Dispatch. He also does the drawing for the comic strip "Shoe" which appears in 650 newspapers worldwide and is distributed by King Features Syndicate. After a long career as a syndicated political cartoonist based at the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Gary has escaped the daily grind of nine-to-five office life, traded in his India ink for oil paints and is happily meandering back roads all over the South, searching for those great American icons, rusty old Fords and Chevys. He is represented by Brazier Studio and Gallery in Richmond.
A native of Florida, he received a BA degree in Studio Art from the University of West Florida.
