When I was in Toronto doing a workshop I was a guest on a podcast called “Cashing in on Creativity”. You can listen to it here. This podcast a great show, over 80 episodes so far, focusing on the business side of the creative arts hosted by Bruce Outridge. Besides being a terrific podcast host, Bruce also a talented artist and caricaturist as well as an author and entrepreneur. We chat about the world of illustration, the passing of Nick Meglin, how I got started with MAD and a bunch of other stuff. Bruce’s podcast series is well worth listening to if you are in… READ MORE

The National Cartoonists Society recently announced their first international comic arts festival, NCSFEST, taking place in Huntington Beach, CA in May of 2019. You may say “what… another comic con???”, but you’d be badly mistaken to compare what NCSFEST is going to be and your typical U.S. comic con. This festival is patterned after some of the highly regarded European fests like the UK’s Lakes International Comic Arts Festival and France’s Lyon BD Festival. NCSFEST won’t be held in some cavernous convention center, but like their European counterparts it will take over an entire town, in this case Huntington Beach, with a huge street fair… READ MORE

EDIT- Wow, that workshop sold out within hours. If you missed out send me a note to be added to the waitlist. Be sure and indicate it’s the Orlando workshop you are interested in. I can almost guarantee one or two people will decide not to follow through, and spots will open up. I’m starting to look into locations for workshops in 2019, and my first stop will be Orlando, Fl on Jan 11-13th. It will have been two years since my last workshop in Orlando, so this one is bound to sell out quickly. If you don’t know what these workshops are all about,… READ MORE
