50 years ago today the world lost one of the greatest and most innovative musicians who ever lived, the great Jimi Hendrix. I’m posting a few caricatures I’ve done of him in his honor today. READ MORE
Here’s an excellent example of how you are SUPPOSED to handle using images you find on the internet for other purposes. The producer of YouTube’s “Dunmore’s Movie Mania” channel Damon Pipitone contacted me and asked if he could use the caricatures from my Batman limited edition print (sorry, sold out of this one) for his video rankings of the best and worst film/TV Batmen. We came to an arrangement, specifically he gave my website a plug in the middle of the video, and you will find my Batman art throughout his video. See how easy that is? BTW, his video channel is fun and Dunmore… READ MORE
Here’s my sketch of today’s “The Daily Coronacature” subject, the bewitching Elizabeth Montgomery. I have to admit I had a huge crush on her as a kid from her role as Samantha in “Bewitched”. As always, the original sketch is available in the Studio Store. READ MORE
This past weekend I managed to get another workshop in amid the coronavirus pandemic, this one in Indianapolis. It was a small but fun group! In other workshop news, I have had to postpone my NYC workshop AGAIN because travelers from Minnesota are currently required to quarantine for 2 weeks after arriving there, which is obviously impossible. I will not reschedule that workshop until I am sure the new dates will be viable. I will not be scheduling any more workshops until I am sure they will not have to be postponed or cancelled due to the pandemic. This will be well into 2021 I… READ MORE

I am in Indianapolis this weekend teaching a caricature workshop. Yesterday I am in the middle of the opening presentation when one of my students gets up with his phone and plays us all a video from the live virtual National Cartoonists Society NCSFest, where I was awarded a “Silver Reuben” divisional award for “Magazine/Newspaper Illustration”. I got a nice round of applause from the class! It was a nice surprise. I had to do back to teaching the class, so I was not properly able to thank the NCS for this honor. There is nothing like being recognized by your peers. It made me… READ MORE
These are a few drawings I did this back in 2014 for a company that provides all the artwork for the Palm restaurants around the country. If you’ve never been to a Palm, it’s a restaurant with the walls covered in cartoons, caricatures and illustrations depicting famous people from the area, patrons, etc. as well as general gags and humor. These gags were suggested to me, so don’t blame me for the cheesecake ones. I did them as concepts for possible inclusion on the walls of the redesigned Palm in L.A. I have no idea if any of them actually made the walls down there. READ MORE
Here’s my take on Alan Rickman… I had to draw him as Snape. As always, the original is available in the Studio Store. READ MORE
