I’m playing catch up already this week, despite my working on and finishing a full page magazine illustration while I was at WonderCon over the weekend. Here’s what’s cooking on the drawing board this week:
- Library Journal Magazine– Cover illustration due late next week concerning library budgets and how tight they are becoming.
- MAD– Not one but two jobs for MAD on the board. One is a two pager I did the roughs for last week but that got bumped to issue #501, so that deadline is a long way off now. Now I am one of seven illustrators doing spots for a Frank Jacobs song parody for the next issue. I am excited about this one, small as it is, just because of the company I am being included with. Mort Drucker is doing the intro piece, and the other 5 artists besides myself include some legends that have not been in MAD for a while, in some cases for decades. It’s going to be a great article for #500.
- NCS Rueben Awards Art- My annual contribution to the NCS weekend. This year Sean Parkes did the brochure image with the multiple cartoon characters, so I will be reverting to drawing caricatures of the speakers, Reuben nominees and other folks featured over the weekend in a local scene.
That’s it, so not an overwhelming schedule but two jobs are due at exactly the same time… just what I said needed to be avoided in my Sunday mailbag question.
In the meantime, here are the pencils, inks and colors for the latest of those workplace posters I do monthly, completed last week:

I don’t think its an overstatement to say that MAD #500 will be the most important event in the entire history of mankind. Can’t wait for it. Good to hear that you’ve got some artwork in it, and hopefully some of the old MAD legends will have pieces as well.
As always, fresh & inspiring to see your procedure Tom. Thanks for posting.
