Here’s my take on out first “Daily Coronacature” subject: Eugene Levy! I promised some process stuff: Every caricature has two elements to it that contribute to exaggerating and capturing the subject. One is the “structural” element, or what I call the “under caricature”. This is the physical nature of the face, meaning the bones, meat and actual physical attributes. That sounds like a “duh” statement… after all what else do you look at when you are are trying to determine what you are going to exaggerate in a caricature? Quite a lot actually. The “under caricature” is the stuff that doesn’t change much with expression.… READ MORE

I got a great idea emailed to me by a gent named Terry Elliott yesterday that may be a fun way to combat the depressing COVID-19 craziness the whole world is dealing with right now. Since we are all holed up in our homes for a few weeks, his idea was for me to post pictures of a subject for a caricature every day. Anybody who is so inclined can do a caricature of the subject and post it either to the Tom’s Daily Coronoacature Facebook group and/or on Instagram using the tag #tomsdailycoronacature. The next day I will post my caricature of the subject… READ MORE

A few years ago DC had artists for MAD do a series of “variant” covers for some of their titles for the April issue (April Fools Day… get it??) I did the above for Detective Comics #19 in 2013 and the one below for Batman-Superman #10 the next year. It’s the closest I ever got to doing an actual Batman comic book. READ MORE

Well, that’s a wrap! The best part is I don’t have to pack up all my crap and schelp it out of the convention center… A huge THANK YOU to all of you who stopped by my Virtual Artist’s Alley table. I thought I’d get a few commissions to draw over the weekend and maybe sell a few prints with the free shipping. Instead I will be spending all this week trying to get all the commissions I have done. If you ordered something I will be shipping things out in batches, so look for a shipping notification when it’s on the way. Thanks again,… READ MORE

Only a little over five hours left to order something from my “Virtual ECCC Artist’s Alley Table”. Response has been OVERWHELMING, and while I was going to cut off the commissions after so many I decided I might as well go ahead and take everything that comes in. As a result I’ll be working on these probably all week long next week. I will be stopping it all at 5pm CDT tonight, so if you’ ve been thinking about ordering something better jump on it! READ MORE

This was done as an example of how a full color “MAD Sketch Cover” Comic Con commission looks for my display. Since I always sell my example sketch cover, this one is also available at my Virtual ECCC Artist’s Alley Table”. Done in brush pen and Copic marker on a “sketch cover” variant copy of MAD #538. Signed by the artist. FREE SHIPPING in the US! READ MORE
