Click for a closer look… You’ll have to click on the image above to see the amazing goodness of the great Jack Davis at his greatest. It was posted by the mysterious “DD” on the MAD fan message board MadMumblings.com. Speculation is that it is a foldout from a 1965 TV Guide showing the NBC fall lineup of shows, or possibly an ad commissioned directly by NBC for TV Guide or some other publication. Nobody drew dense crowd scenes like Jack. He would tell you the rich and earthy colors he got with his watercolor was a result of using lake water rather than tap… READ MORE

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj5IV23g-fE[/youtube] Over on the Alan Gardner‘s excellent blog The Daily Cartoonist I found a link via Tom Spurgeon‘s excellent blog The Comic Reporter to this excellent post concerning the solicitation of creative work for free. I have written about this topic before here and here, and previously linked to the video above, which was mentioned in the comment discussion on the Daily Cartoonist.

Hermann did s few demos for us and gave us pointers while we slapped the paint around. He also did a couple of quick studies himself. He gave me the little treasure above, an unfinished watercolor “sketch” of Sarah Jessica Parker. His painting seems so effortless. Amazing stuff. READ MORE
I opened a new caricature booth at Six Flags in St. Louis yesterday. We just need a few more signs and it’ll be dialed in. READ MORE
[vimeo]http://www.vimeo.com/10606990[/vimeo] Cartoonist and Australian Cartoonist Association member Lee Shepard recently uploaded this video of me doing a quick caricature demo at the 2009 Stanley Awards weekend in Sydney, where I was one of several presenters. Unfortunately Lee was sitting with my substantial bulk between his camera and the paper, so you can’t see me drawing much except when I am kneeling down or when I move aside. Sorry about that, Lee. This segment took place after I gave a boring hour long lecture on caricature and the audience was drawing the same faces on the screen as I was during the demo. Two things about… READ MORE
