Q: It is acceptable for a caricature artist to work an event knowing a competing artist is working at the same festival or art fair, etc.? A: Yes. If those running the fair or festival are willing to rent space to vendors selling the same products then there is nothing wrong, both commercially and ethically, with having multiple caricaturists at the same event. Many large fairs or festivals have several different caricaturists set up in different locations. I even know of at least one major theme park that has two different caricature companies with booths in the SAME PARK. That is unusual… most of the… READ MORE

Due to a last minute cancellation I still have one spot open in my workshop in Toronto on June 1-3rd. I won’t be back in Canada anytime soon, so jump on that!

However, as you can see with the Toronto one, spots do open up and sometimes at the very last second, so email me and get added to the waitlist if you wanted to take the class but didn’t pull the trigger in time. Sadly the Sept… READ MORE

This week’s Monday MADness is a look at the final splash page and all the pencil roughs for the Desmond Devlin penned mash-up parody of the first three Daniel Craig 007 movies entitled “Casebook: SPYFAIL- The Battle of the Bonds” from MAD #521, June 2013. These are true “roughs” as I just drew blank heads (and made notes as to who is supposed to be who.. although some might say I should do that even with my finished caricatures) and everything is very sketchy, meaning I must have worked out the caricatures and drew things out fully on the art boards. These pencils were for… READ MORE
