I haven’t done much work in the world of animation, just having done some simple character designs for segments on the “MAD” show on Cartoon Network and for a film called “I Want Your Money” in 2010. More recently I did a bunch of “turnarounds”, both full and partial, for a pitch for an animated show that didn’t get picked up. I thought I could now share a little of that artwork here. READ MORE
Here we go again with another ridiculous choice for one of the panels that was my favorite to draw in a given parody, this time from MAD #2’s “Xander and Kam’s Sneaky Previews” written by Ian Boothby. Anyday I get to draw Harrison Ford‘s crooked nose is a good day. Also ALF! READ MORE
It’s that time again. I don’t have any questions for the mailbag right now (other than a couple that are basically asking for a lengthy tutorial on drawing crowd scenes or something similar that are a little more involved than a Q&A). So if you have any questions about cartooning, illustration, MAD Magazine, caricature or similar, e-mail me and I’ll try and answer it here! READ MORE

I did this mock Rolling Stones cover and interior spread for Minnesota Monthly magazine’s year end issue back in 2012. Every year they would do an article on notable Minnesotans of the past year. The circles on the main image were for photo inserts and copy. The blank rectangles in the spread were for copy they dropped in. The only people most might recognize would be Bob Dylan and former Minnesota Timberwolves NBA player Kevin Love. READ MORE
Super busy right now so here is a “flashback” sketch of Garbage lead singer Shirley Manson. Actually I did this one as part of a series of sketches from the short lived 2008-2009 TV series “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”, in which Ms. Manson played a terminator. Thus the wind up key gag. This sketch appeared in my book The Mad Art of Caricature, which is why I added the digital grays. READ MORE
I’ve had two sudden cancellations for my workshop in Atlanta, GA coming up in March, so the previously sold out class now has two available openings! Click here for the details! READ MORE
Back in MAD #520 (April 2013) I did the art for this three page parody mash up of the TV reality show “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” and the long-running conic strip “The Family Circus”. I had a particularly fun time doing this one because cartoonist Jeff Keane, who took over the strip from his dad Bil Keane several years before Bil’s passing in 2011, is a good friend of mine. In fact, when MAD assigned this to me, I called Jeff up and didn’t tell him this was coming as I wanted to surprise him, but during our conversation asked him “So, what kind… READ MORE
