The last of the Labor of Love cartoon portraits from 1999 at least until I run across the original drawings somewhere. (I did do portraits of other members but those weren’t on the zip disks I was archiving when I found these pieces.) It’s the founder of Labor of Love, Ms. Sarah Byam.

It’s my birthday today. I’m either older or younger than you. Nizzibet and I are off in Portland hanging with old old friends.

Another Labor of Love member toon portrait – Jeff Swenson. Jeff has been one of the busiest of all the former LOL folks, at least artistically. Lots of cartoons and comics on the other side of that link.

Another Labor of Love Studio staffer cartoon from 1999. This is Derek Fetters, writer, editor and currently, internet radio drama producer. I highly recommend checking out his horror comedy serial The Unspeakable and the Inhuman.

This cartoon portrait is of Jenn Manley Lee circa 1999. I can’t tell you why she’s holding a sword. It just seemed like the right thing to draw.

Another cartoon version of a former Labor of Love Cooperative member. This is Kip Manley. At the time (1999) he was also one of the principal staff members of the Portland monthly arts magazine Anodyne.

In 1999, as Labor of Love was putting together the free newspaper version of Glyph I did a series of cartoon portraits of some of the more active folks contributing to the studio. This is Tim Lowery.
