Workshop Warmup: Gordon Ramsey!

December 12th, 2019 | Posted in General

Yet another warmup celebrity sketch from my workshop this past weekend: Gordon Ramsey! A spot in one of my workshops makes a great Christmas gift to that special caricaturist in your life. Not many left right now though… only one in NYC, three in Dublin and quite a few left in Vienna. I’ll be adding a few more U.S. workshops in the last quarter of 2020 sometime after the New Year.

Orlando Workshop Warmup!

December 10th, 2019 | Posted in General

I wrapped up my Orlando workshop Sunday but I’m still here visiting with my youngest daughter The Effervescent Gabrielle for her birthday, so the rest of the week I’ll be posting the ‘warm up’ sketches the class and I did over the weekend. Here’s one of them… disgraced comedy legend Bill Cosby. These “workshop warmups” are 3 or 4 sketches we do in the morning to get loose for the rest of the day. Someone in the class suggests a subject, I do an image search for a good reference, and then project the image up on the big screen with a blank area to… READ MORE

Sunday Mailbag: Workshop in My Town?

December 8th, 2019 | Posted in Mailbag

Q: Will you please do one of your caricature workshops in my area/backyard? A: I’m in Orlando right now, on the last day of teaching another of my caricature workshop. I just posted a new workshop location/dates for August in Detroit, MI yesterday. Whenever I post a new workshop, I invariably get the following: “Can you do one in Miami/Dallas/Brazil/my backyard?” I get this one a lot… so often I repost the answer now and then. The answer is “maybe”, but there IS a way you can make it happen if you really want to. I choose where I am going to try and do a workshop… READ MORE

New Workshop: Detroit, MI!

December 6th, 2019 | Posted in News

Just announced! An August 7th-9th workshop in the Detroit MI area! There are already several spots taken by people on my mailing list, who get advanced notice of new workshops before I announce them here, so don’t wait around too long if you want a spot in this one! In fact, I only have a few spots available for any of my announced 2020 workshops. I’m sold out in Burbank and Las Vegas, have only one left in Chicago, two in Long Island City and three in Dublin! There’s several still in Vienna but those are the only two workshops in 2020 in Europe. Spots… READ MORE

Another MAD #11 Sneak Peek!

December 5th, 2019 | Posted in MAD Magazine

MAD shared this on Twitter the other day, so I guess it’s ok to share here. This is one of my caricatures of 2020 Democratic Presidential Candidates (some now former candidates… they are dropping like flies!) for the ‘Democratic MADvent calendar”, written by Amanda Stellberg. MAD #11 on sale in comic book stores and via digital on 12/18. READ MORE

Sketch o’the Week- Robert De Niro!

December 4th, 2019 | Posted in Sketch O'The Week

Kind of a sourpuss Robert De Niro for this week’s sketch, original available in the Studio Store. I used the same reference for the one I did of him in MAD #11, but I thought it would be nice to do one without the puke coming out of his mouth. I haven’t seen “The Irishman” yet, but it’s on my list. READ MORE
