Doug's Style Adds Humor to Satire on Driving
In the May 26, 2008, Globe and Mail, B8, it asks: "How recognizable is your logo? Have you created it in such a way that over time your clients - or in Doug's case, your readers - may be able to identify it simply by seeing the first letter?" (Source: the Marketing Minute)
The answer is YES for Playboy readers scanning the monthly issues for Doug's full-page color artwork.

"Loose, Airy" Drawing Style Gives Flair to Satire on Driving
Having traveled extensively throughout Canada and the U.S. by car and motor home, Doug felt quite qualified as an insightful and objective observer well able to use his "artistic savvy" to comment graphically on the hurried, crowded and sometimes laughable routine drivers often endure in traffic.
