I thought I’d do a few Halloween themed sketches for the rest of the month, starting with the legendary Boris Karloff as “The Monster” from “Frankenstien”, done using various pens and markers. I did this one of Bela Lugosi some time ago, but will do a new one for next week: READ MORE
The Lovely Anna and I are back from New York Comic Con. It was a crazy, busy convention. I think it was actually more manic than San Diego… maybe that’s just because it’s approaching the same attendance levels but squeezed into a smaller area. Not having my own booth at SDCC I am not sure how I’d do under the same circumstances. All I know is I was swamped from open to close doing caricatures and commissions. Here’s some pictures from the show, including a couple of drawings I did: Abrams Publishing editor Charlie Kochman, MAD art director Ryan Flanders, me and MAD artist/illustrator Ray… READ MORE

A: I get a lot of these types of emails. I understand the curiosity but it’s a bit misguided. The tools and materials one uses are incidental have minimal impact on the work one produces. It’s the thinking and, above all,… READ MORE
Image courtesy Jason Chatfield Image courtesy Luis Rosario via Facebook The Lovely Anna and I working it at New York Comic Con. For a Thursday it was a very busy opening day. Of course we ran into some problems right away. Like an idiot I shipped the wrong backdrop support unit to hold up that banner you see behind us. It should be two feet taller and should not be about to collapse upon us at any second. Fortunately we were able to MacGyver it so it is at least standing. That’s the only negative. Otherwise met a lot of nice people, did a lot… READ MORE
