Stuff From My Studio: The Reuben!

May 29th, 2018 | Posted in Stuff from my Studio

I just returned from another fabulous National Cartoonists Society Reuben Award Weekend, this time held in Philadephia. It was a great time as usual, planned and hosted by NCS President and first-lady Bill and Kayre Morrison. Getting to hang out with so many of my peers whom I respect and admire is one of the highlights of my year. Receiving the statuette above was one of the highlights of my life. This is THE Reuben Award, designed by Rube Goldberg himself, which I was honored with at the 2012 Reubens in Las Vegas. This year’s winner was animation legend Glen Keane. His and the names… READ MORE

Monday MADness- My First MAD job!

May 28th, 2018 | Posted in Monday MADness

I was at the National Cartoonists Society’s annual Reuben Weekend in Philadelphia and sat in on a MAD magazine panel. During the panel, I was asked about how I got started with the magazine. I thought about it afterward and it was basically exactly 18 years ago, shortly after the 2000 Reuben Weekend, that I got my first assignment from MAD. It was a three pager entitled “MAD‘s Cable TV Viewing Odds” written by John Biederman. This job was what is called an “evergreen” feature… meaning it is not timely and can be run virtually at any time when they need a couple of pages… READ MORE

Illustration Throwback Thursday #48

May 24th, 2018 | Posted in Illustration Throwback Thursday

As promised from last week, here’s the one piece I did for Penthouse that bordered on being “blue”. The article was about why males tend to think about sex more than females do. I did a “Barbie” on the female figures, meaning I left off the nipples and obscured or left out the genitalia (and their noses! Although Barbies do have a nose) turning them into more like plastic toys than women. I thought that a workable approach, so i did not use a pseudonym in the byline. READ MORE
