I’ve come up for air (almost) after finishing CLAPTRAP, and will be appearing at New York Comic Con this weekend! Look for me at table A-09 all weekend, where I will be doing selling my usual garbage and doing commissions including the return of the much asked about “Mock MAD Cover”. What, you won’t be at New York Comic Con? Giant sweaty crowds comic book geek not your scene? Fear not! I will be conducting a “Virtual Artist’s Alley Booth” here on my website coinciding with the dates and times of NYCC. Starting at 10 am on Thursday Oct 2nd, you can come here and… READ MORE

Labor Day is the unofficial last day of summer and also the final day of the Minnesota State Fair! I did this illustration years ago for a client project. Having visited the MN State Fair this year I can attest the message still applies. Enjoy the end of summer! READ MORE

I just completed one of my workshops last weekend in Denver. We had a great group and a lot of fun drawing together for two days! Class artwork above. I just announced one final workshop for 2023, this one taking place Dec 2-3 in Las Vegas. You can register for a spot here. The Lovely Anna is having knee surgery in early 2024, so there will be a pause on my workshops from then until probably the late spring or early summer. I MIGHT be able to get one squeezed in in early January before Anna goes under the knife. We’ll see. People ask me… READ MORE

Last week MeTV horror movie show host extraordinaire Svengoolie revealed that I am one of this year’s “Artist Collection” artists doing an illustration for his show merchandise. The “Artist Collection” is a lineup of five artists from Svengoolie Fandom that each do a piece of art honoring the show and its ghoulish host. Last year’s lineup was stellar with Jim Engel, Bill Morrison, Mitch O’Connell, Scott Shaw, and Jill Thompson. So far this year they’ve announced Mark Spears and me. I was very honored to be asked to be part of this year’s group. The art you see above is my piece. As I say on my artist’s page on… READ MORE

My 2023 lineup of caricature workshops only have a handful of spots left! If you have been considering taking one of my weekend long classes, don’t wait too much longer! Minnesota and Orlando have been sold out for weeks. Denver had been sold out for weeks until this morning, when one spot opened up due to a cancellation and a depleted waitlist. There are a few spots left in Dublin and San Fransisco, but that’s it! Book a spot soon before they are all sold out: READ MORE

I just got confirmation that the incomparable Al Jaffee passed away early this morning at 102. This is a hard one. Within any art form there are some creators who are just plainly on another level than the rest. There will always be a debate about who is the G.O.A.T. in anything creative, but the sign of true greatness is always being one of the people in that conversation. Any debate about the greatest cartoonist of all time that does not include Al Jaffee is not a legitimate debate. Like so many, I grew up a fan of MAD Magazine. I loved the work of… READ MORE
