Here’s another “Workshop Warmup” sketch from my recent workshop in San Francisco… Patton Oswalt! These warmups are an exercise we do one morning of the class where someone suggests a subject, I do an image search for a picture and we all work from that image for about 15 minutes. Speaking of workshops, both my Burbank class in January and my Las Vegas class in February are sold out. If you missed out, you can sign up for the waitlist by clicking on the links. The workshop in Phoenix in March is cancelled… sorry Arizona but I looks like won’t be back there again. I… READ MORE

This week I am a guest on the terrific Comic Lab Podcast with hosts Brad Guigar and Dave Kellett, where we talk caricature and MAD Magazine.

Brad (Evil Inc.) and Dave (Sheldon, Drive) are two of the most prominent webcomics artists out there, both in terms of their work and their knowledge of the industry. The ComicLab Podcast is solid gold, full of advice and information on the business and creative side of cartooning in the 21st century. You can listen to the show by following this link, or look… READ MORE

Jake Tapper, George Clooney and a few other celebrities are hosting an auction featuring, among other things, some cartoon artwork by the likes of Garry Trudeau, Bunny Hoest & John Reiner, Stephan Pastis, and many others. The proceeds go to Homes for Our Troops, benefiting wounded veterans. I have the original MAD page you see above in the auction which was Unfortunately they do not do a very good job of explaining what this page is. It’s part of the feature “Xander and Kam’s Sneaky Previews” that was published in MAD #2, featuring a short spoof of the movie “Solo” and a quick appearance by… READ MORE

Already sold out! Sorry for those who missed out. 🙁 I did this last year and it worked out pretty well (although I started offering them a little too close to the holidays last time, thus the earlier announcement), so I thought I’d give it another go this year. I usually do not do these kinds of commissions outside of comic book conventions (my studio commissions are more elaborate and a LOT more expensive). However, again this year I’m making 15 of these personal caricature commissions available just for the holidays. I’m doing them on 11? x 14? bristol, in brush and various pens, colored with Copic… READ MORE

I’ve just booked two more workshops for early 2020: Tempe AZ on March 27-29th and Chicago IL April 17-19th! Although I am still going with the longer days (9-6) on Sat and Sunday to fit MOST of the workshop into the weekend days, Friday night is now going to be an official (but still optional) “Meet and Greet” which will take place from 7pm-10pm at a local restaurant where we will have class introductions, an overview of the workshop, Q&A, and social time. I also still have a few spots available in Burbank and Las Vegas! READ MORE

I’ve got a new workshop location just announced: beautiful downtown Burbank, California on January 11-12th, 2020! Grab your spot before it’s sold out! Yes, the New Orleans workshop has been cancelled. I only had a few people sign up and there was not much interest down there, so the Big Easy is a non starter. I’ve got a few other locations in the works for 2020 including for certain New York City, Chicago and Phoenix, and possibly Seattle, Boston, Vienna, Dublin and London. Stay tuned for more announcements soon. READ MORE

Deadlines conquered. Wrapping up a couple of odd jobs today and packing up for New York Comic Con. What’s new at NYCC at my booth this year? I’ll have my exclusive NYCC print, copies of “Don’t Let the Penguin Drive the Batmobile” , my “Tarantino Time Warp” MAD #9 cover print and this new ” “Tarantino TV Guide” mini print you see above. This is not the 11×14 full sized print I have here on the website, but a 6 x 8 inch “mini print”. The cool thing about this is that it’s about the same size as an actual old school TV Guide cover… READ MORE
