Sacha Baron Cohen as Borat. I confess to have never seen a single second of this guy’s act. I don’t know why… just can’t work up the interest. READ MORE

As I mentioned before I’ve been watching Entourage on HBO recently. Great show… I find myself laughing out loud a lot… many time because of this man, Jeremy Piven: READ MORE

Getting Lost in Heroes

November 21st, 2006 | Posted in General

Last night was the first night I actually watched an episode of Heroes at air time. Well, it was an hour after it actually aired, but close enough. Looks like my Monday nights will be booked for the foreseeable future… thanks a lot, Tim Kring! Really… thanks. This show is a gem. It’s riddled with interesting and deep characters, and unlike Lost it is not afraid to actually advance the plot in leaps and bounds. It’s sci-fi, but not reliant on the sci-fi part for it’s interest. Sure, I’m a comic book fanboy, or used to be until comics got so bad I became tired… READ MORE

I’ve been visiting a lot of art blogs lately… there are a ton of them out there and an unbelievable number of great talents as well. One thing I’ve noticed about many of them compared to mine: they have a lot more art. I seem to mostly talk (so to speak). I like to write so that won’t completely change, but artists like my friend Steve Silver always inspire me with their seemingly unending commitment to draw, draw, draw. It seems like I never draw anymore unless it’s for a job. If you never do it for yourself, it becomes nothing but a job. So,… READ MORE

On the Drawing Board

November 20th, 2006 | Posted in General

Several jobs in the works right now at various stages. Here are some sketches and pencils: Workplace Poster This is a fun one… lot’s going on. It’s always nice to do something that doesn’t involves caricatures so I can break out into a more cartoony and higher energy style of drawing. On a side note I started watching the TV show Entourage on HBO. There are some great faces there and I couldn’t resist doing some studies: Kevin Dillon has a great face to draw! I’ve seem 14 episodes of the show so far. I have to say it is very funny and entertaining. A… READ MORE

Sunday Mailbag

Q: I know you are not in NYC where the MAD offices are, but have you met many of the other MAD artists, writers and editors, and if so, who? A: I occasionally go to New York City just so I can bum a free lunch off the MAD staffers, particularly art director Sam Viviano. I know flying all the way from Minneapolis is a long commute for just a free lunch, but Sam often gets extravagant and allows me to “Super-Size”. The first MAD person I ever met was Nick Meglin. He was reviewing portfolios at the San Diego Comic-Con in 1993. I was… READ MORE

One of the benefits of being a member of the National Caricaturists Network is that you have access to their excellent member’s only forum. This is a terrific place to interact with fellow caricaturists from all over the world, get feedback on your work, find and give advice on the business of caricature, network with other artists and artist/agents and in general just have fun gabbing and posting artwork. The highest honor the NCN bestows is the “Caricaturist of the Year” award, otherwise known as the “Golden Nosey“. One of the more prominent members of the NCN and a past winner of said award is… READ MORE
