Jessica Simpson squeeze and musician John Mayer. The picture I drew this from was about the size of a nickel. Just a very quick study. I know nobody has noticed, but all of last week thorough today I have been in Massachusetts getting my park near Springfield, Six Flags New England, up and running. I pre-posted most of this stuff. When I get back maybe I’ll have some pictures from the roadtrip. READ MORE

A very quick sketch of Summer Glau, who plays a character called River Tam on the TV show “Firefly” and in the movie “Serenity”. She’s got an odd, buggy eyed look, and I tried to push that along with the pursed mouth a bit more than the likeness could handle, I think. I caught “Serenity” on HD-DVD this past weekend.

Twin’s GM Terry Ryan is a wizard at trades and knowing who to keep and who to let go, but this was one of his few glaring mistakes. READ MORE
Still haven’t seen Blood Diamond. I’ve heard mixed reviews. Here’s one of Leo DiCaprio: I spent a bit more time rendering this one than usual. I’m sorry there hasn’t been much art posted here lately. Mostly I’ve been working on MAD jobs. The powers that be at MAD pointed out to me the other day that even sketches and preliminary drawings done on projects for them are their copyrighted property (MAD is work for hire), and they preferred I did not post any work in advance of the publication of the material in the magazine. I totally understand and respect that, so I will not… READ MORE
