Still snowed under with work, so here’s a older sketch I found in a recently discovered thought lost sketchbook of Leslie David Baker as Stanley Hudson from “The Office”. Original available in the Studio Store. READ MORE
Have to post a flashback SotW this week as I am crushed under deadlines right now, so here’s RUSH frontman Geddy Lee. This one appeared in my book The Mad Art of Caricature, originally done in pencil but with digital washes added for publication. READ MORE
This caricature of folkie legend Bob Dylan was based on an illustration I did of him for Minnesota Monthly magazine a few years back. The original is available in the Studio Store. READ MORE
I’m in San Diego setting up for Comic Con, which starts TONIGHT! I have no time or scanners available to do a SotW. So, here’s a sneak peek at a couple of the rough penciled pages for the 47 page story I’m pencilling and inking for the company Sitcomics.

This was one of the suggested subjects at my recent Pittsburgh workshop. Also, I have been asked to post the reference photo with my sketches.
