I’ve done a lot of work for superstar comedian Jeff Dunham over the years, from illustrations for his products to helping design some of his dummies. I did this logo/letterhead illustration for Jeff earlier this year. READ MORE
Here’s my drawing of today’s “The Daily Coronacature” subject: Sting! I almost drew him in the famous Dune codpiece, but then I came to my senses. READ MORE
Since Des Devlin and my book project CLAPTRAP is successfully funded, the next thing we’re apparently supposed to do is set some “Stretch Goals”. These are higher funding goals that, if reached, means we add or do more stuff for the book. The great thing about stretch goals is that if you are already one of those special people who have contributed to the book, you will benefit from our reaching these goals without doing anything at all! Well, that’s not exactly true. What we need our backers to do is continue to share our campaign far and wide, so it gets in front of… READ MORE
This was one of my favorite movie parodies from the short lived “Burbank MAD” era, written by my CLAPTRAP collaborator Desmond Devlin! READ MORE
Q: How did you first get into MAD? A: I used about 60 feet of rope, a glass cutter, and a crowbar. Just kidding, my road getting into MAD was both a long and a short one.

NOTE: This is NOT one of the actual videos from my virtual workshop. Those are still in the works and will be professionally shot and edited, multi-camera videos. This was a live, Zoom-based event. You can watch it here: READ MORE
This past weekend I took part in the Lakes International Comic Art Festival based in Kendall, UK. Like everything else on Planet Earth these days, it was held online rather than in person. That didn’t stop it from being fascinating and a lot of fun. In fact they did a fantastic job with the online experience. One of the events I participated in was a “Pass the Panel” collaborative comic, where 16 different comics artists were challenged to draw a page on an ongoing comics story. The idea is that the first artist (in this case Luke McGarry) draws a page starting a story, and… READ MORE
This one is actually part of one of my “Virtual NYCC Artist’s Alley” commissions, so done in a “live caricature” technique. READ MORE
