Here’s another in my “Classic Comedians” series, the (almost) immortal George Burns! In a rare bread from tradition, this original is still available in the Studio Store. READ MORE
Time for another step along the quickly shortening path looking back at my work for MAD Magazine. We really are catching up to present day, having started this journey way back in November of 2020, when it looked like I may have done my last job for MAD. Fast forward five years and MAD has started having more frequent new material, so as it turns out that road hasn’t quite closed down yet. But I digress… in this episode we look back at what is (so far) the last job cover I did for the magazine. The theme of the issue was “comedy” but more… READ MORE

Here we go with another step on my long and winding road of work for MAD Magazine. This is a tribute to the great Al Jaffee from MAD #32, Aug 2023. This is one of the more depressing moments in my time with MAD, and for the magazine. At this time MAD really was 100% reprint material with only a new cover and a new Johnny Sampson Fold-In as new content. It took something big like the 70th anniversary almost a year earlier or the passing of one of the legends of “The Usual Gang of Idiots” to get the suits upstairs to open up… READ MORE
I did a really fun job for Matador Records a few months ago that they just dropped, so I can share it here. Every year the Matador Records label does an end of the year review and sale celebrating the releases of new music by their artists. This year they had me illustrate a scene from a vintage records store featuring caricatures of a lot of really talented musicians and songwriters who debuted new music in 2025. You can check out Matador Records here, and use the code WHATMEWORRY for a discount on a some terrific tunes! Thanks Matador, not just for the project but… READ MORE
I’ve got my first few workshops for 2026 arranged! I’ll be teaching in cities I’ve never been before… Nashville and Salt Lake City. I limit these classes to 12 students, so there is plenty of one-to-one instruction and feedback and you really get to know your fellow artists. The dynamics of an in-person workshop like this are so much more effective than your typical online class. Video lessons are fine but there is nothing like total immersion, and drawing alongside others. If you are a beginner or hobby artist and are afraid you will feel like an imposter in a room full of Picassos, don’t… READ MORE
This week we do another in our “Classic Comedians” sketch with “Mr. No Respect” himself, Rodney Dangerfield! In a rare break from tradition, this original sketch is still available to purchase in the Studio Store! READ MORE
We are now deep in the MAD timeline where the magazine is basically 100% reprinted material, with only the cover and a Johnny Sampson Fold-In as new content. In the past year or two I got a chance to do a few covers, and this art for MAD #31, Jun 2023 is one of them. This issue was curated around a medical theme, featuring my art in spoofs of “Scrubs” and “Grey’s Anatomy” and lost of other pieces about doctors, hospitals, medicine, etc. Although she didn’t take credit for it MAD head honcho Suzy Hutchinson wrote this cover gag, and it’s a pretty good one.… READ MORE
