This past weekend I was in New York to FINALLY do the last of my pandemic postponed workshops. This workshop was originally scheduled to take place in early May 2020, but was postponed due to the then newly raging pandemic. We rescheduled it for October of 2020 but it had to again be postponed due to continuing restrictions. We finally got the class in, with a few new people taking the place of some who had dropped out.

Q: Did Quentin Tarantino request a sketch of himself after you illustrated 2 covers for his film “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood”? Who are some well known celebrities who have commissioned you?  A: No, Quentin didn’t ask me to draw him after I did those prop covers… I just did it for fun for my “Sketch o’the Week”. I haven’t had all that many celebrities commission me to do art for them.

More Mock MAD Covers!

June 8th, 2021 | Posted in General

Here are a last couple of mock MAD covers from my “Virtual Artist’s Alley” event back at the end of March. I may do another one of those during the San Diego “Comic-Con @ Home” event next month, but I might be too busy with CLAPTRAP to do another so soon. We’ll see. Thanks to everyone who purchased some of my garbage! READ MORE
