However, as with any of my sold out workshops, you can always contact us to get added to the waitlist (make sure you specify which workshop you are interested in).

I’m in Vienna, Austria to speak at the 7th annual Eurocature Caricature Festival. I’ve never been to Vienna, and despite a nightmare travel day (get your $#!t together, Delta/KLM) I’m already enjoying this beautiful city. I put in about 6 miles this morning visiting the Stephanplatz and surrounding area. I’ll post about the Eurocature Festival as things go along. Prost! READ MORE

Today’s Commercial Observer financial newspaper in New York City has a cover by yours truly. The lead story is about the “Power 50”, their annual ranking of the fifty most important figures of commercial real estate finance. I only had to draw the top four (whew).

Q: It seems you had a LOT OF fun with your latest parody “Mary Poopins” as there is in nearly every panel some (written) extra joke of yours. But why did you gave the painting of the Peacemakers a painterly look? It is quite a contrast to your normal drawings. Wouldn’t it be better to do also the painting in your normal style? And the drawing is in perspective. Did you draw it in perspective or did you draw it normal an paste it into the distorted frame later?
