Rick “Baby Blues” Kirkman and I draw for U. S. Army SGT Jason Gilbert of East Lake, OH Our band of cartoonists are still drawing away at an undisclosed location in the war zone in the middle east, and as US Military¬¨‚Ćrules won’t allow me to say where we are or when we return, I’ll have to wait until I get back to share our experiences… which have been amazing. The above picture is courtesy of the USO, and can be seen here along with several other images and a brief story about the first stop on our tour in Landstuhl, Germany. READ MORE

Sorry, but I can’t figure out how to scan or upload a sketch this week from here in the middle east. I can barely find internet access to communicate back home. This is an old one from the tour we did last year to Iraq and Kuwait. I’ll make up for it next week… READ MORE

Being on this USO tour I am missing the annual Convention and Competition of the International Society of Caricature Artists. going on this week in Las Vegas. I wrote about they event a few weeks ago… I cannot recommend the ISCA or it’s convention more highly for anyone who does caricatures professionally, either live or for some other purpose like print illustration or animation.

More details after I return. READ MORE

Q: Your color work in MAD is wonderfully intense and unique. It is unlike any other digital coloring I’ve seen in comics or cartooning. Did you go to school for that or where did you learn your digital coloring techniques? A: First off, thanks for the compliments about my work. It’s incredibly gratifying when someone takes the time to say they like what I do. When one works in the solitude of a quiet studio it is always a treat when they get feedback from someone who enjoyed what you did. Thank you. Concerning my color work- in that I can say with confidence it… READ MORE

Another group of cartoonists are off soon (at an indisposed date and time… I’d tell you specifics but they are above your pay grade) to the middle east to draw for U.S. soldiers deployed “down range” i.e. in the war zone. This group includes Jeff Keane (The Family Circus), Rick Kirkman (Baby Blues) Mike Luckovich (Pulitzer prize winning editorial cartoonist), Stephan Pastis (Pearls Before Swine), Garry Trudeau (Doonesbury) and myself.. clearly they have me along to make the coffee. We’ll have a stop in Landstuhl, Germany to draw at the Regional Medical Center and the Ramstein AFB there before heading on to a new area… READ MORE
