Q: I was wondering if you could share your shipping methods. Specifically, how do you box up your prints and/or commission work for shipping and what advise you would give to others on how to prepare artwork for shipping in an efficient manner.

It was a typical day doing theme park caricatures at Six Flags. I was working at our busiest booth located in the center area of the park when I started drawing a group of… READ MORE

For those American audiences who might not be familiar with Ms. Bellucci, she played Persephone in the final two Matrix movies, Mary Magdeline in “The Passion of the Christ”, starred opposite Clive Owen in the forgettable action film “Shoot ‘Em Up”, and in my personal favorite was one of Dracula’s brides in Francis Ford Coppola’s “Bram Stoker’s Dracula”. Incidentally at 50 she will be the oldest Bond girl ever. READ MORE
