Sketch o’the Week, Vol. 1!

September 13th, 2016 | Posted in News

A week or so ago I hinted about something new I would be debuting at New York Comic Con, but I needed to wait until I got the proof to be sure it was going to turn out. Well, I got that proof yesterday and everything is a “go” for my first sketchbook collection Sketch o’the Week (and other stuff) Vol. 1! It’s a 6.625 x 10.25 square bound paperback, 60 black and white pages with a UV coated glossy color cover (proof above has a standard cover, I’m upgrading to the UV coated one), containing 100 sketches. As the name implies, most of these… READ MORE

Hmmm, this doesn’t seem quite as funny as it was back in MAD #473, Jan 2007… too prophetic now, maybe? READ MORE

Sunday Mailbag: Tired of Drawing?

September 11th, 2016 | Posted in Mailbag

Q: I was wondering if you ever get tired of drawing. If so, what do you do to stay motivated, other than getting a paycheck 🙂 A: I love my job. I get to draw funny pictures for a living.. what’s not to love? That said, it is a job, and sometimes you get tired of doing any job. After hours and hours and hours of working on the same project sometimes the last thing I want to do it sit back down at the drawing board and get back to work. Reading books is nice. So is watching a movie. I also like to… READ MORE

New York Comic Con is only a month away! I’ll be there in Artists Alley at table A6 with my usual plethora of crap for sale, including this NYCC exclusive 6″x9″ mini-print.

Should I Go to Art School?

September 6th, 2016 | Posted in General

I get this question often, especially from young artists (or the parents or young artists) who are seeking advice on art as a career and the role of higher education in that career. Artists that ask this question seem to lean towards the idea that higher education is a waste of time and money, and parents of young artists that ask it lean towards the idea that college is a necessity. Both are wrong to some degree. Art school or no art school is an age old question, but one with an easy answer… if you find the right school it is worth the time… READ MORE
