Birth of a web cartoon world?

It started a few months back when I bought a stylus for my iPad. Around the same time I was seeing cartoons made-of-dust on my bathroom wall –

the logical brain says it was just dust but my mind says: ‘ooooh no, that’s a fully formed cartoon cat on my wall’ — maybe I need new glasses, but that resulted in more doodles and finally I came up with this cartoon on modern dating:

and when it snowed, I sketched some more and came up with this called Snow Day:

here’s a rare making of video – me inking over my pencil sketch on my iPad to clean up the lines (impressed yet?)

Over the coming weeks I hope to turn all my doodling into a weekly web comic with characters and a story line – all right here.

Out Magazine: The Porn Kings of New York?

Here’s a Out Magazine (June 1999 issue) blast from the past — & a really chubby porn director (yeah, wow that…is…me on pages 85-89 with some other NY-porno-dudes)

I can barely remember saying any of those quotes by me in my interview here, I guess nowadays I can call them alternative facts — although most of what I said there in that Debby Harry issue is correct. Yeah, me & Debby go way back…or I can really say I followed Debby Harry (in a major magazine story)

and we can’t stop there, here’s a more recent-me a full 18 years later doing my Stand-Up comedy thing…without much hair.

where has the time gone?

I’d be a great cartoon character

recently on the Our Headspace podcast I joked, ‘I’m only Enrique Cruz the porn director on Mondays and Fridays

spending all day thinking about ‘dick‘ could be exhausting – I did it for 10 years as a director and I’ve moved on to more fertile pastures (well sorta) — like the Mafia — and thanks to the internet you can’t really ever leave — I’m tied to 10,000 penises for the rest of my life —

I assume my tombstone will be filled with plenty of penis emoji’s floating in the air.

I write and perform comedy now (and hope to share some of that here with you here on this NEW webpage, it’s actually not a new website we just got rid of all the sexy pinga things) —

Doing Comedy makes perfect sense — to absolutely no one I knew in the porn world — and that’s okay. In the end, if we do anything too serious we all become a cartoon version of ourselves.

And I like this cartoon drawing by the famous cartoonist / stand-up Comedian Jason Chatfield of me waaay better than I do my real self.

My sister asked if I posed for this cartoon drawing, it was drawn recently while I stood fully clothed on a comedy stage…oh, yeah I was talking about my penis.

Pull up a chair & stick around for a while, I’ll be posting pics, cartoons strips that I draw, videos and my other random thoughts here.
