I’m sure most of the followers of my blog know about the crowdfunded book project longtime MAD scribe Desmond Devlin and I are working on. If you don’t, briefly it’s called CLAPTRAP, and it will be a hardcover book featuring twelve original movie parodies in the MAD tradition (with a few of our own twists) plus some other film related goodies. It’s projected to be well over 100 pages, was funded via Indiegogo, and was projected for a 4th quarter 2021 release. All of that is still 100% accurate except for the last part. We have been working hard to try and meet that “before… READ MORE

It’s another fascinating look at some of the stuff from my studio! In this episode we have a gander at the two “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” prop prints I have signed by director Quentin Tarantino! I have told this story in detail here before (visit here, here and here for the entire sordid affair), so here’s the short version: Back in 2018 I was hired to create two fake, 60’s era “Jack Davis flavored” magazine covers to be used as props in the film “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”. I did both digital and traditional media versions. The real paintings I hand… READ MORE

I have been getting endless inquiries as to if my key art for CNN’s “History of the Sitcom” docu-series will be available in a print. I’ve answered individually in comments and via emails and DMs, so I thought I’d best do a post with the information. This work was done as a “work for hire” job for CNN, which means they own the rights to the image. I can only show it here on my website with their permission. I do not have the rights to reproduce the work. I did ask them for permission to make prints, but you must understand that they people… READ MORE

We interrupt our weekly journey through my MAD archives for this important announcement… my son-in-law Leif Sundberg aka “The Swedish Ninja” is competing for the 4th time tonight on “American Ninja Warrior” at 8/7c on NBC! Rumor has it he’s one of the early runners so tune in on time to watch all the action. You MIGHT even catch some of the Richmond clan cheering him on! Leif is a phenomenal athlete and his run is sure to be exciting! The above piece of art was a commission for a young MAD and Swedish Ninja fan. #americanninjawarrior #ninjawarrior READ MORE

This is out in the wild now so I can share it here. Earlier this month I did an illustration job for CNN for the newest of their entertainment documentary series entitled “History of the Sitcom”. This consisted of a LOT of caricatures of classic sitcom actors/characters, and it was a tricky thing to compose because I needed to do it in a way that allowed for both a vertical (above) and horizontal format: The folks at CNN gave me a list of the characters they wanted included. I don’t know what criteria they applied for which show is represented, but these are the ones… READ MORE
