Sketch o’the Week- Workshop Sketch!

February 21st, 2018 | Posted in Sketch O'The Week

Sorry no time this week for a Batman villain sketch… I’m really under the gun with a deadline. Instead, here’s a little look at what we do in one of my caricature workshops. The above is one of 30 faces in our workshop book that we draw live in class. The book contains a selection of different face types, ages, races, male/female, etc. Part of what we do is examine each face, discuss observations and how to exaggerate what we see, and I draw the face along with the class with my drawing projected on a big screen as it’s being done. The above was… READ MORE

Announcements are starting to happen about the MAD reboot (rebirth?) courtesy of DC Entertainment. MAD #551 will be a new MAD #1. Alfred has been updated. Lots of other new things will start to be announced leading up to the April release of MAD #1 (Vol 2). From DC co-publisher Dan DiDo’s Facebook page: More coverage from: Entertainment Weekly, SF Gate, Urban Daddy, News-A-Rama. My take…. no comment. Still getting used to it. READ MORE

NYC Workshop Sold Out!

February 19th, 2018 | Posted in News

The workshop in Atlanta went well if you discount my mistake of calling in the catered lunch order to a Subway in Forest Park. My mom can make sandwiches faster than that and she’s dead. Otherwise lots of fun, drawing and learning! My workshop in May in Long Island City, NY is now officially sold out. Don’t worry, if you missed out get on the waitlist and you have a decent chance of getting a spot… I almost always have at least one person drop out for one reason or another. It costs nothing to get on the list and any open spots will be… READ MORE

MAD Sneak Peek: This is Pus!

February 19th, 2018 | Posted in MAD Magazine

Here’s a sneak peek at my piece in the latest issue of MAD, a parody of the TV show “This is Us” written by Desmond Devlin. Oh, and I did a self caricature for the “Gotcha: Mug Shots of Common (But Despicable) Criminals” feature written by Scott Maiko: Whadya mean you want to read the jokes in the word boxes? What do you think this is, a furshlugginer library? Go out and buy a copy, clod! READ MORE

Sunday Mailbag- Workshop Near Me?

February 18th, 2018 | Posted in Mailbag

Q: Will you please do one of your caricature workshops in my area/backyard? A: I get this one a lot… every time I announce a workshop in fact. The answer is probably not, but feel free to suggest a location. I choose where I am going to try and do a workshop based on a few factors. Population, obviously, is a major one. I am going to end up doing three workshops in the Los Angeles area this year. I did one in the New York City area last year and am doing another this year. I’ll have my second in London this summer and… READ MORE
