I’m going to be playing catch up for about a week after being away for Comic-Con, so things will be a little light here on the blog. Here’s the art I did for the July poster for the Marlin Company, which I did back in April. It’s very apropos considering the current state of the country, although the majority of those depicted are long gone. Pencil sketch below. READ MORE

At Comic Con this past week MAD announced the release of a FREE ebook called MAD Dumps on Trump, where they have collected over 100 pages they’ve done over the years making fun of “The Donald” from “The Apprentice” through the 2016 election campaign. It’s absolutely free, or in other words the equivalent of the value of a degree from Trump University.

Just a reminder that in addition to the 450 signed and numbered “These Guys Suck!” limited edition prints, I also have thirteen “Special Editions” which each include the original black and white inked artwork of one of the Dracula caricatures. The prints are hand signed and numbered “SE xx of 13”, with the number corresponding to the order they appear in the print. So, if you buy the “Jack Palance” special edition, you will get the original inked caricature of Jack: And a print signed and numbered “SE 5 of 13”. These are ridiculously overpriced at $125 each, but what can I say… I’m an… READ MORE

Just debuted last night at San Diego Comic-Con, my newest limited edition print is now available to purchase in the Studio Store, as are thirteen “Special Editions” which each include the original black and white inked artwork of one of the Dracula caricatures (warning- any orders placed between now and Monday, July 25th will not ship until I get back from Comic-Con on July 26th). Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel “Dracula” introduced the world to one of the classic literary villain of all time in the undead Count Dracula.
