This isn’t really a SotW, but a recent MAD cover commission. I am slowly working through the queue of commissions from the virtual end of my New York Comic Con appearance. This one is actually a more elaborate version of one I did back in March for a customer who wanted to add a mashup of Max Von Sydow‘s “Three Eyed Raven” character from “Game of Thrones” in with his knight from “The Seventh Seal”. I dried out three gray markers doing this one! READ MORE

If you recognize this one of the late Leslie Nielsen from my book The Mad Art of Caricature that’s because it’s in that book. I did do a new sketch for this week but subscribers to my “The Ink Stained Wretch” weekly newsletter see it first. I’m posting throwback SotWs for the next two weeks, and then the sketches I debuted for subscribers will get posted here. So subscribe, already! READ MORE

This week’s SotW is a return to my “Classic Rock” series with a caricature of the original lead singer of AC/DC, Bon Scott!

Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath… those were the type of bands I listen to. AC/DC was another big one, and while Brian Johnson was the lead singer about the time I got into the band, earlier albums featuring Bon Scott are still some of my favorite AC/DC disks. Scott died… READ MORE

Another wednesday and no time for a real sketch o’the week. I did this ink and wash piece recently as a commission for a fellow cartoonist. “Do something with MAD and Monty Python” was the request. READ MORE

Still under the gun with deadlines this week, so no time for a new sketch today. Instead, here’s a look at an inked version of a sketch of Jackie Gleeson from a month or so ago. Someone commissioned it after missing out on the sketch. I’ve been doing a lot of inking this week, so I working it up in between waiting for wet pages to dry. This is mostly crow quill pen and ink, with some #2 brushwork as well. READ MORE

I ran across this sketch in an old but barely used sketchbook I started using again… Aaron Paul from “Breaking Bad”. I think I posted it back in 2012 but for some reason many of the posts I did in 2012 have corrupted image files that don’t appear… so here it is again! It’s a little smaller than most of my SotWs, so it’s at a bargain price in the Studio Store. READ MORE
