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.

I’m swamped today so here’s a sketch from almost 10 years back. This one was done using a fine point marker. Oscar winning actress Meryl Streep! READ MORE
