Looks like I am going to have to push back the release of my new Doctor Who print for a few weeks. Work, life, and other entanglements have caught up to me and I missed the last possible date to get the print job done in time for New York Comic Con. Besides all that, after looking back at my recent one of Tom Baker I just don’t like how it turned out, so I need to rethink that one. Don’t worry, the print will be available well before the holidays, so if you are thinking about getting one for that special Whovian in your… READ MORE

I must be clairvoyant. Yesterday I posted a small, cropped image as a “sneak peek” from what will be my piece in the next issue of MAD. Hours later News-a-Rama posts the entire article! So, here’s a real sneak peek at MAD #536– “Home Renovations: HGTV vs. Real Life” written by Teresa Burns Parkhurst with art by moi (clicky any to embiggen). READ MORE
