Okay, not really a question this week, but a request. Mega fan Frank Wollard, a Vietnam veteran and frequent email correspondent, asks this: I would love to see a post from you of the Santa’s that you have drawn over the years. Great idea. In fact, I’ll post a couple of the many different Santa/Christmas illustrations I’ve done over the years for The Marlin Company (and a few others) each day leading up until Christmas… Starting with these!

This was a very different project. MAD asked me to do the art for spoof of a “user manual”… for a lightsaber. Written by Scott Maiko, it’s a clever take on the goofy seriousness of high tech toy manuals with a lot of Star Wars thrown in (I guess MAD heard about that movie coming out this week). Anyway I had to mimic the art style of these types of manuals, but still add some humor to it. The above illustration is the first page “beauty shot”, which MAD printed in black and white so it matched the manual’s format, but had me do in… READ MORE

Q: I am curious if there is a difference in drawing a “standard” caricature (head shots, or your Sketch of the Week, etc.) vs. a “cartoony” caricature, (ie one that involves putting the subject in a situation like “tennis player” or “astronaut”) Does the drawing style change, or can it change, to further emphasise “Cartoon” aspects? Is the only difference really adding a location/job/costume? A: Within the context of your question, no. There really isn’t a difference when you are drawing a “head & shoulders” caricature and one involving a full body or action situation. Not in the approach of the caricature itself. It’s still… READ MORE

It’s only two weeks until Christmas day! Time’s running out to get one of my new limited edition Doctor Who (or Batman, or Superman, or Sherlock) prints in time to give to that special someone for the holidays. The Lovely Anna and I have been on a much-needed vacation this week and get back tomorrow, so Monday will be a big shipping day. All orders will be going out, and that gives you only 9 shipping days until Christmas. I promise this will be my last shameless shill for the season. We return to our regular mindless blogging on Sunday. READ MORE
