The Great MAD Art Sale is over. Thanks to everyone who purchased some of my originals from my first ten years of working for MAD. Look for the next Great MAD Art Sale in 2020, where I will have a selection of my second decade of original MAD artwork available for cheap, cheap, cheap! In the meantime you can always visit the Studio Store for some original artwork from MAD and other stuff… at slightly more inflated prices. READ MORE

I promise this will be the last reminder that The Great MAD Art Sale will be over in a little more than 48 hours. It’s been pretty successful although there are still plenty of pieces left, including some cheap $75 full parody pages from movie “Behind Enemy Lines” (Gene Hackman, Owen Wilson) and TV shows¬¨‚Ć “The Bernie Mac Show”, “America’s Most Wanted” and “Boston Public”, $100 pages from “Traffic” (Michael Doudlas, Benecio del Toro, Catherine Zeta-Jone, etc), “The Royal Tennenbaums” (Gene Hackman again, Luke Wilson) and TV shows “Dog the Bounty Hunter” and “Scrubs” plus a few $150 pages from HBO’s “Entourage” and the movie… READ MORE

I received a note from an interested party yesterday concerning The Great MAD Art Sale (which officially ends on Monday, BTW… don’t delay, order now!) asking about original MAD cover artwork. He was looking to buy an original MAD cover, and wanted to know if I had any or if Mark Fredrickson has any originals available for sale? My answers were: No, unfortunately I’ve never done a cover for MAD (well, two for MAD Kids and one for a MAD advertising insert… but they hardly count) and have no originals of cover art and, regarding Mark’s covers, I don’t believe any originals exist because he… READ MORE

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6w0r-ScEG4[/youtube] This video has really been making the rounds on the Interwebby. Before anyone cries foul over the ‘dark’ nature of the clip, go rent and watch “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford”. Not only is it an underrated movie, but the climatic assassination/death scene in it is what this clip parodies. Michael Cavna of the excellent Comics Riffs blog on Washingtonpost.com interviews animator and creator of the short Edmund Earle. READ MORE

Just another friendly reminder that The Great MAD Art Sale ends one week from today, on Dec. 20th. Some of the artwork will be available after in the “Studio Store” but gone will be the insanely expensive cheap prices and they will be even more ridiculously overpriced than they are now. There are still a number of full parody pages from movies like “Traffic” (my first movie parody in MAD), “Behind Enemy Lines”, “The Royal Tennenbaums” and “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” , as well as TV shows like “Scrubs”, “Entourage”, “Dog the Bounty Hunter”, “The Bernie Mac Show”, “America’s Most Wanted” and… READ MORE

This is just a reminder that there is still plenty of original artwork straight from the pages of MAD available on The Great MAD Art Sale page. A lot of pieces have been snapped up, but many more remain including full parody pages from movies like “Traffic” (Oscar award winner), “Behind Enemy Lines” (Oscar Meyer winner), “The Royal Tennenbaums” (Oscar the Grouch winner) and “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” (Oscar Madison winner), as well as TV shows like “Scrubs”, “Entourage”, “Dog the Bounty Hunter”, “the Bernie Mac Show”, “America’s Most Wanted” and “Boston Public”. I’ve been accused by some very well respected pals… READ MORE

I have a Google alert set up on my computer so I get a daily e-mail with links to any blog posts or web sites that mention “MAD Magazine“. Usually this results in several links a day where someone mentions MAD either in passing as part of some other subject, uses it as an example of satire or parody or says something to the effect of “I used to read MAD as a kid and loved it. Do they still publish MAD?” More and more these days, though, I get links to sites that are hosting illegally scanned copies of MAD, available for equally illegal… READ MORE
