World Acclaimed Golf Cartoonist Breaks Out Big Dog; Inks New Deal with Veteran Straight Shooter

Middletown, NJ (PRWEB) January 6, 2006

New personal representation means tee-time for BC Doyle as he names Nick Petti, personal manager and marketing director, in expansion of his BC Doyle brand to opening global markets.

BC Doyle, best known for his hilarious views of the nightmares of golf, which he depicts on paper in brilliant color, has until now, been the good-humored golf fans’ best kept secret. His crisply detailed cartoons, however, have become cult favorites among those in the know as he is also known for co authoring the best selling book, “How to Cheat at Golf”.

Petti plans to build upon Doyle’s established notoriety by opening new channels for the artist’s inspirations. His intentions, Petti explains, are to make “this fantastic artwork available to everyone, everywhere starting with the internet and working backward into more traditional outlets like publishing and retail distribution”. New books, including a “children’s book”, are also in the works, the manager says.

BC Doyle’s given name is Brett Cameron, but he is also known by his childhood friends as “Ace” (golf slang for hole-in-one) after shooting his first hole-in-one at age 13 when he was still new to the game.

“I got my ace on the 14th hole that day”, BC recalls. “It was a relatively short, but tight 138 yard up-hill -- sort of like my game has been ever since.” BC Doyle has been in pursuit of his second ace ever since that fourteenth hole many years ago, but has found nothing comes easy on the golf course except his grief.

Doyle began creating his cartoons from those personal golfing experiences which have since turned his life into an up-ended cycle of golf clubs into pencils and pencils back into golf clubs.

He starts a cartoon with an inspiration then fleshes-out an idea through a series of pencil sketches. Sometimes creating 20 or more pencil sketches before his colored pens see any action.

One cartoon may take the artist three weeks to finish, as he uses many shades of the same color to arrive at his artistic destination. The grass in BC Doyle’s cartoons can contain up to 15 shades or more of green. Yet the slow, deliberate process yields rewarding results. With felt tipped pens, magic markers and colored pencils in hand, BC Doyle’s labors of love come to life.

Yes, Doyle has played a lot of golf and he has experienced his fair share of golf nightmares. And because golf can be an infinitely frustrating game, his muse -- the source of his art -- never ends.

But why does he do it? “Because golf is a funny game”, he says. And indeed, nobody knows that better than BC Doyle.
