Profile

Paul Reynolds (aka The Cartoon Wizard,) continues his 40-year ‘stint’ plying his trade as a freelance, cartoonist, illustrator and writer on the island of Kauai. 

A Journalism major with an art minor in college he won awards as an editorial cartoonist. His first published work appeared in Coaching Young Athletes – (Human Kinetics Press) and was the co-author and artist for a nationally syndicated feature called “Strictly Classified” with The Chicago Tribune syndicate. During this time he worked with the San Francisco’s Cartoon Art Museum, San Francisco City College, and the Half Moon Bay continuing education program where he taught the art of cartooning both to adults and to children. Moving to the island of Kauai, Paul continued his ‘other’ teaching career as one of the islands premier hatha yoga instructors where he was the yoga editor and artist for Hawaii’s Inspiration Magazine as well as providing graphic and copy writing support for Emagine Web marketing one of Kauai’s major web design/marketing companies. Paul maintains his own weekly Inspirational blog filled with his writings and artwork as well as other writings that have come to him through a variety of sources as well as several on-line ‘galleries’ for his illustration and book projects. His philosophy is rooted in the knowledge that we are Unlimited Ideas and that the truly effective teachers are our ‘gurus’ within….“Life is a weaving of similarities and the unexpected. We ride a wave of … possibilities. We are able to grow and listen more effectively when we don’t get too comfortable with patterns.”
