Sketch o’the Week- John Boyega!

November 25th, 2015 | Posted in Sketch O'The Week

I don’t know if you’ve heard about this but apparently there is a new Star Wars movie coming out next month. “The Force… something”. Anyway you’d think there would be more on the internet about it. This week’s Sketch o’the Week is of new Star War’s star John Boyega. I’d tell you this sketch is available in the Studio Store, and it is, but I’d advise you not to buy it. If I were you I’d wait until Black Friday… just sayin’. READ MORE

Next month MAD #537 will feature the annual “MAD 20 Dumbest People, Events and Things” of the year (and yes, I did the art on one of them this year). The next several installments of Monday MADness will take a look back at some of the MAD 20 pieces I have done over the years. This one is from MAD #497, Jan 2009.

November 20th, 2015 | Posted in General

“The Daily Jumble” is a popular syndicated word puzzle and cartoon appearing in over 600 publications worldwide currently done by David L. Hoyt and my fellow NCS member Jeff Knurek. This week is the third annual “Guest Jumbler” week where Jeff has enlisted six different cartoonists do the artwork and the question/answer gag. Today I am the Guest Jumbler! Doing something related to Star Wars was Jeff’s idea… he had a feeling it might be relevant right now for some odd reason. You can check out the Daily Jumble on Facebook or on their website. Warning: It’s addictive. Thanks, Jeff, for the fun little project! By… READ MORE

Sketch o’the Week- Peter Capaldi Revisited!

November 19th, 2015 | Posted in Sketch O'The Week

I’ve had a few people email me about my upcoming new Doctor Who print to urge me not to use the original sketch I did of twelfth Doctor Peter Capaldi: …because the image of the Doctor jamming on a guitar in rocker clothes is sure to be the definitive image of this incarnation of Doctor Who. I agree and had planned to redo my Capaldi caricature. Well, here’s the sketch and, yes, it’s available to purchase in the studio store! READ MORE
